Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The England of Shakespeare Shakespeare is known and read of all men, especially at the present time. He lived in what has been called a Great Age, and great it was in many ways which I have attempted to show in these pages. He reflects more than any one else the thought and spirit of that age. If we would understand his writings, his spirit, his humanity, it is necessary to know something about his times, the people he used to meet, the social customs that prevailed, the England he loved. He took a keen interest in the events of his period, and in the lives and characters of those who dwelt around him. He had great sympathy for ordinary common folk. He knew how "to suffer fools gladly." The stupidity of Dogberry and Verges, the swaggering of the swashbuckler, the sturdy yeoman and farmer, the merchant and the labourer, the ale-wife and the milkmaid, all interested him. He loved to draw out their old stories and to read their characters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Bacon and Shakespeare Classic Reprint written by Albert Frederick Calvert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bacon and Shakespeare The conclusions I have formed with respect to the two cipher revelations which are now agitating the minds of both Shakespeareans and Baconians are derived partly from my estimate of the character of Bacon, partly from the apparent sincerity of Mrs. Gallup, and partly again from what I know of other and entirely independent decipherations of further Bacon messages, which are now being actively made in this country. Of Mrs. Gallup I only know that which her book and her publishers reveal. Of Dr. Orville W. Owen, the discoverer of the word-cipher I learn, front an American source, quoted by way of a testimonial in one of the doctor's books, that he is a man who has reached middle age, and who has never shown the slightest sign of possessing unusual or extraordinary literary skill, or genius. In other words, his sponsors assure us that he is incapable of writing those portions of Shakespeare which form so great a part of his decipherations, or even the connecting passages which appear to have been contributed by Bacon. We must accept this opinion as a tribute of personal character. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The superiority of talents and learning, which I acknowledge in these editors, leaves me no room to entertain the vain presumption of attempting to correct any passages of this celebrated Author; but the whole, as corrected and elucidated by them, lies open to a thorough enquiry into the genius of our great English classic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrate Back to the Future with this illustrated adaptation of the cult classic script, retold in Shakespearean verse by the best-selling author of William Shakespeare's Star Wars. In the iconic film by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale, teenaged Marty McFly travels back in time from the 1980s to the 1950s, changing the path of his parents’ destiny . . . as well as his own. Now fans of the movie can journey back even further—to the 16th century, when the Bard of Avon unveils his latest masterpiece: William Shakespeare’s Get Thee Back to the Future! Every scene and line of dialogue from the hit movie is re-created with authentic Shakespearean rhyme, meter, and stage directions. This reimagining also includes jokes and Easter eggs for movie fans, from Huey Lewis call-outs to the inner thoughts of Einstein (the dog). By the time you’ve finished reading, you’ll be convinced that Shakespeare had a time-traveling DeLorean of his own, speeding to our era so he could pen this time-tossed tale.

Download or read book Shakespeare Bibliography written by William Jaggard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare Bibliography: A Dictionary of Every Known Issue of the Writings of Our National Poet and of Recorded Opinion Thereon in the English Language Long book needs but a short preface. Perchance, then, one A may claim privilege for a tired pen, and stand excused if some necessary observations are compressed into the briefest space. From a remote period the indispensable tribute to distinguished merit has found expression in the form of biography. Like most good things, it is often abused. What probably originated and ended in some simple tombstone inscription now sometimes extends to a set of several ponderous tomes - documentary proof, as Dr. Johnson would say, of misplaced vanity. In modern days literary genius asserts its right to a fresh prerogative in the shape of bibliography, a claim no one will grudge. That form of hero-worship honourably serves a double purpose. It fulfils the desire to pay homage where due, and, as a key to recorded knowledge, becomes a handmaid to fresh literary labour. With these few words I might fitly 'say amen betimes did not other remarks, perhaps apropos to the place and time, press for notice.

Download or read book The Impersonal Aspect of Shakespeare s Art Classic Reprint written by Sidney Lee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Impersonal Aspect of Shakespeare's Art I confine my present inquiry to the plays alone, and I ask, Does Shakespeare reveal himself to us there? I do not mean as Rousseau reveals himself in his Confessions, or as Johnson stands revealed in the pages of Boswell, but, say, as Cicero or Horace, as Burke or Shelley, lift the curtain on dominant predilections and prejudices in published words. Do Shakespeare's plays, like Cicero's or Burke's oratory, declare from time to time his precise likes or dislikes, his definite convictions and prejudices? Do we learn his private Opinions on religion, on politics, and the other matters which more or less occupy every thinking man's attention? From 'personality' I here exclude physical characteristics and biographical details. I am not concerned with the everyday virtues and repugnances which most men of repute share alike. My inquiry is directed to distinguishing idiosyncrasies, to individual characteristics, to peculiar experiences of mind or heart. At a first glance the theme may look simple enough. An author gives in the written page an expression of what is in him. He can have nothing else to give. Consequently all, it may be thought, one who seeks knowledge of an author's particular personality has to do, is to extract it from the verbal receptacle to which he committed it. But this is a superficial aspect of a highly complex question. There is a quibbling conundrum which asks, How can a thing be lost, when you know where it is and has for answer that the thing is at the bottom of the sea, or in the bottomless crevasse of a mountain. It may or may not be that the question I ask to-night may fairly provoke some such repartee. At any rate the speculation is difficult, and before we part with it, it imposes on us the obligation of glancing at the manner in which poetic genius works, and at the intellectual processes which are more especially involved in the creation of great drama.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Greatest of Literary Problems: The Authorship of the Shakespeare Works; An Exposition of All Points at Issue, From Their Inception to the Present Moment God does not ordain the vilest among men to be his messen gers of peace and enlightenment to mankind - and, certainly, the men to whom our pretentious guides have introduced us were among the vilest of their kind. No wonder the world is awakening to the necessity of a higher criticism than that with which it has hitherto been cloyed, and turning to one incomparable genius, who, voicing the primal strains of the Renaissance in Tudor England, bore them on with ever swelling majesty to the close of the grand symphony which ended with his life. This great genius I hope to Show was Francis Bacon, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Albans. Time was when I should have dismissed this thesis with impatience, but I am hoping that my readers will weigh the evidence I adduce before condemning me as a mere theorist.
