Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Shakespeare The advances made in Shakespearean scholarship within the last half-dozen years seem to justify the writing of another manual for school and college use. The studies of Wallace in the life-records, of Lounsbury in the history of editions, of Pollard and Greg in early quartos, of Lee upon the First Folio, of Albright and others upon the Elizabethan Theater, as well as valuable monographs on individual plays have all appeared since the last Shakespeare manual was prepared. This little volume aims to present what may be necessary for the majority of classes, as a background upon which may be begun the study and reading of the plays. Critical comment on individual plays has been added, in the hope that it may stimulate interest in other plays than those assigned for study. Chapters I, VIII, IX, X, and XIII are the work of Professor MacCracken; chapters V, VI, VII, XII, and XIV are by Professor Pierce; and chapters II, III, IV, and XI are by Dr. Durham. The authors have, however, united in the criticism and the revision of every chapter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes From Old Playbooks Arranged as an Introduction to Shakespeare This book is an attempt to solve in practical form some of the difficulties involved in afirst reading of Shakespeare. The historical plays, which are comparatively simple for a beginner, and the comedies, with their vivid picture of contemporary life, were obviously the sources upon which to draw; in most cases a sequence of scenes has been given. To lighten the difficulty presented by the language, phrases, lines, and sentences have been lopped freely whenever this could be done without positive ruin to the context; and occasionally the easier of two readings has been deliberately adopted. The book has been edited solely with an eye to young readers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Introduction to Shakespeare Classic Reprint written by Edward Dowden and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Introduction to Shakespeare Nash on April 22nd, and he suggested that the day may have been chosen as the anniversary of her grandfather's birthday. The matter remains doubt ful. April the a3rd, Old Style, corresponds with our present May 5th. Stratford-on-avon, in which Shakespeare spent his youth and to which he gladly returned in his elder years, was a town of gable-roofed, timber or timber-and-plaster houses, containing some fourteen or fifteen hundred inhabitants. It's chief buildings were the noble church hard by the river, and the Guildhall where on occasions travelling companies of actors would present their plays. Around it in Warwickshire, the heart of England lay the per fection of rural landscape: in the Feldon division such pasture - lands, with a wealth of wild flowers, as Shakespeare has described in A Winter's Tale; and in the Arden division the perfection of forest scenery, such woodland glades and streams as he has imagined in the French Arden of As You Like It. During the Wars of the Roses the county was divided against itself; Coventry was Lancastrian, Warwick, for a time, Yorkist. The battle of Bos worth Field was fought near its north-eastern border. Traditions of the stirring events of those times must have lived on to Shakespeare's day, and created in his imagination a sympathy with the great historical figures of that period which he has repre sented with such life and force in his historical dramas.

This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of Shakespeare Already in 1598, when Shakespeare was but 34 years of age, a clergyman, Francis Meres, educated at the University of Cam bridge, in a work entitled Palladis Tamia, ranked Shakespeare with the greatest poets and dramatists of Greece and Rome. He would hardly have done this if Shakespeare was so obscure and so little estimated at the time as to cause such a judgment as he expresses, to be laughed at. Meres, as his book shows, was a man of great scholastic learning; and scholastic learning in those days meant a reverential estimate Of the great classics of Greece and Rome.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Tragedy of Macbeth written by William Shakespeare and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Tragedy of Macbeth: With Introduction, and Notes Explanatory and Critical; For Use in Schools and Classes Ibis highly probable, to say the least, that the tragedy was then fresh from the Poet's hand, and. Was in its first course of performance. Some arguments, indeed, or seeming argu ments, have been adduced, inferring the play to have been written three or four years earlier but I can see no great force in them. On the other hand, it appears that' Forman had long been an habitual frequenter of play-houses and it seems nowise likely that one so eager in quest of novelties would either have missed the play, had it been put upon the stage before, or have made so special a notice of it, but that he then saw it for the first time. Nor have the characteristics of the work itself any thing to say against the date in ques tion 3 those portions of it that have the clearest and most unquestionable impress of Shakespeare's hand being in his greatest, richest, most idiomatic style.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Shakespeare Symphony: An Introduction to the Ethics of the Elizabethan Drama I have no wish to impose any unjust inferences on these facts, certainties being so numerous that there is happily no necessity to patch them with surmises. For the time being I content myself with a brief and essential statement of the paradox, entrusting its final solution to the future. At whatever times I refer to the dramatists I would be understood to mean 50mg of them. Much of the Elizabethan Drama is avowedly patchwork. It is customary to find several authors' names combined on the same title page, and few things are more bewildering than the manner in which trash and sublimity rub shoulders with each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Macbeth The manner of preparation of this book needs a word of explanation. Dr. J ohn Henry Boynton, of Syracuse University, was to have been the sole editor, but in May, 1898, he died very suddenly. The text, the notes and the glossary he left prac tically in the form in which they now are; of the introduction nothing appeared except a table of contents. Yet it is hoped that even from this incomplete product his promise as a scholar may be recognized. His work has been revised, and the introduction added by one of his friends and fel low-students - Dr. W. A. Neilson, of Bryn Mawr. To Dr. Neilson's generous activity the friends of Dr. Boynton owe grateful recognition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
