Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cymbeline repeats many of Shakespeares plot devices: villainous slander, homicidal jealousy, cross-gender disguise, a deathlike trance, the appearance of Jupiter in a vision, and final repentance, forgiveness, and reunion (Mowat, xiii), all of which result in an improbable story (Mowat, xv). As a romance, the play calls to mind the need for Coleridges willing suspension of disbelief (Biographia Literaria, quoted in Greenblatt, 478). Yet it is still Shakespeare.

Book excerpt: As Cymbeline opens, two Gentlemen are discussing the state of Cymbeline's kingdom. They note that the King's virtuous daughter, Imogen, has married the equally virtuous Posthumus Leonatus, to the considerable displeasure of the King and Queen; Imogen is the King's daughter by a former wife, and he and his current Queen wanted Imogen to marry the Queen's son by a previous marriage of her own, the cloddish Cloten. We also learn that the King previously was the father to twin boys, Guiderius and Arvigarus, who were stolen from him in their infancy and never heard from again. His new Queen is wicked and duplicitous, acting as though she is happy for Imogen and Posthumus but secretly orchestrating their undoing. In his rage, the King banishes Posthumus.Before parting for Rome, Posthumus and Imogen exchange bands-he gives her a bracelet and she gives him a ring-and promise to be true to one another. As a parting gift, Posthumus has his faithful servant, Pisanio, stay in England to attend on Imogen. The Queen, sensing that Pisanio is a troublesome presence given her ambition, gives Pisanio an elixir filled with what she thinks is poison, telling him that it's medicine. In fact, however, the elixir is not poison; the court doctor, Cornelius, wary of the wicked Queen who asked him to brew her poison, has concocted a potion that creates the appearance of death for a short while but is, in fact, harmless.William Shakespeare

The conversation turns to women's lack of virtue, and Posthumus declares Imogen exempt from this judgment, saying that she is totally chaste. Iachimo wagers ten thousand pounds against the precious ring Posthumous received from Imogen that he can get Imogen to commit adultery. Posthumous accepts this proposition, and Iachimo departs for England.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Cymbeline: The Text Revised and Annotated The Tragedy of Cymbeline was, as the following Reprint will shew, richly dowered with Emphasis-Capitals: one of these appearing in the first line of it, and boldly striking the keynote to the opening Scenes. There are above 2,000 words in it so distinguished. This work has the reputation of presenting to the reader a long series of difficult passages, which has arisen, in most part, we believe, from the unusual amount of contraction in it, and in connection with this, among other things a constant use of the colon, frequently in odd and unlooked for positions. After repeated perusals, however, the means to condensation grow familiar to us, and the perpetually recurring colon, instead of being, as at first, a stumbling-block, becomes an interpreter. The compression manifest throughout Cymbeline is, doubtless, occasioned by the necessity of bringing it within bounds, and this evidently cost Shakspere great labour, for it is one of his longest plays. As it now stands, it seems as if not a line could be renounced without loss. Yet when Charles Kemble gave his First Reading, by command of the Queen, at Buckingham Palace, in 1844, this Play, selected by Prince Albert, was, from the necessity to comprise the Reading within a given time, reduced to about one third of the Work as it was bequeathed to us; there being then shewn, as it were, the trunk and branches of the tree, but, with the exception of a solitary tuft or cluster here and there, all the leaves and blossoms stripped away. Of the original 2,091 Emphasis-Capitals in Cymbeline, there escaped the Editors and Printers of the Second Folio, 163; of the Third, 129; and of the Fourth, 44; in all, 336: not a great loss at the end of 62 years, and after three passages through the press. On the other hand, there appeared of New Capitals not connected with proper names, or at the beginning of lines or sentences, in the Second Folio, 10; in the Third, 27; and in the Fourth, 210; in all, 247. At the end of this Preface full Lists are given of the Lines in which these losses and. gains occur, a course which will, in future, be followed with each Play of this Edition.

Book excerpt: Among the most enduring poetry of all time, William Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets address such eternal themes as love, beauty, honesty, and the passage of time. Written primarily in four-line stanzas and iambic pentameter, Shakespeare’s sonnets are now recognized as marking the beginning of modern love poetry. The sonnets have been translated into all major written languages and are frequently used at romantic celebrations. Known as “The Bard of Avon,” William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known. Enormously popular during his life, Shakespeare’s works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death, as has his influence on theatre and literature. Shakespeare’s innovative use of character, language, and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists, and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech.

Download or read book Cymbeline written by William Shakespeare and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2020-06-09 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authoritative edition of Cymbeline from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers. Cymbeline tells the story of a British king, Cymbeline, and his three children, presented as though they are in a fairy tale. The secret marriage of Cymbeline’s daughter, Imogen, triggers much of the action, which includes villainous slander, homicidal jealousy, cross-gender disguise, a deathlike trance, and the appearance of Jupiter in a vision. Kidnapped in infancy, Cymbeline’s two sons are raised in a Welsh cave. As young men, they rescue a starving stranger (Imogen in disguise); kill Cymbeline’s stepson; and fight with almost superhuman valor against the Roman army. The king, meanwhile, takes on a Roman invasion rather than pay a tribute. He too is a familiar figure—a father who loses his children and miraculously finds them years later; a king who defeats an army and grants pardon to all. Cymbeline displays unusually powerful emotions with a tremendous charge. Like some of Shakespeare’s other late work—especially The Winter’s Tale and The Tempest—it is an improbable story lifted into a nearly mythic realm. This edition includes: -Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play -Full explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play -Scene-by-scene plot summaries -A key to the play’s famous lines and phrases -An introduction to reading Shakespeare’s language -An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play -Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library’s vast holdings of rare books -An annotated guide to further reading Essay by Cynthia Marshall The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is home to the world’s largest collection of Shakespeare’s printed works, and a magnet for Shakespeare scholars from around the globe.
