Download or read book Shakespeare Select Plays written by William Aldis Wright and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare Select Plays: First Part of King Henry IV The First Part of Henry the Fourth was entered at Stationers' Hall to Andrew Wyse on the 25th of February 159 7/8, under the title, 'The historye of Henry the iiijth with his battaile of Shrewsburye against Henry Hottspurre of the North with the conceipted mirthe of Sir John Falstoflf.' The entry to Master Woolff on 9 January 159 8/9, quoted by Steevens, refers to a different book, by Sir John Hayward, The first Part of the Life and Reigne of King Henrie the IIII, which was published in 1599. Other quarto editions of the play succeeded in 1599, 1604, 1608, 1613, 1622, 1632, and 1639. The version in the first Folio (1623) appears to have been printed from a partially corrected copy of the Quarto of 1613. It is probable that the play was written not long before it was entered at Stationers' Hall, perhaps in the early part of 1597. It had been acted and was become popular in 1598, for it is one of the plays which is mentioned in that year by Francis Meres in his Palladis Tamia, or Wits Commonwealth, as an example of Shakespeare's pre-eminence among English writers for Tragedy. For the historical portions of the play Shakespeare depended upon Holinshed, whose Chronicle, as in Richard the Second, he closely followed. The comic parts appear to have been suggested by a poor play which had been on the stage for about ten years and had attained some popularity, The Famous Victories of Henry the Fifth.

Play is the way in which he expresses the life which is developing Within him. Through its exercise he stimulates his imagination, and lives many scenes outside his own experiences, developing ways and means to meet various occasions. One of the first things a little child does is to imper sonate the various animals and objects about him, thus placing himself in closer relationship and sympathy with the whole world.

Download or read book The Pretenders and Two Other Plays Classic Reprint written by Henrik Ibsen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pretenders, and Two Other Plays The three plays translated in the present volume illustrate three very different and characteristic phases of Ibsen's genius. The stirring historical drama, The Pretenders, which appeared in 1864 and was his first really great achievement, was written at white heat when Ibsen was five-and-thirty and his intellectual powers were just touching their full development. Pillars of Society, which was completed in 1877, was the earliest of the "social dramas" on which his fame will always mainly rest, and betrays some signs of experiment. In it the dramatist has not yet quite found his feet on the ground which he trod with the triumphant assurance of a master by the time Rosmersholm, which is typical of his intellectual power at its highest, appeared in 1886. The Pretenders was written while Ibsen was still in Christiania, previous to his long voluntary exile from Norway. He had, some years before, been attracted by the subject of the historical struggle between Haakon and Skule for the crown; and circumstances now seemed to conspire (or, at least, Ibsen seems to have thought so) to give him a clearer insight into the conflict of character between the two heroes. The rough handling which his countrymen had accorded to his last play, Love's Comedy, and the small advance he had been able (in spite of the growth of his powers) to make in popular estimation, contrasted cruelly in his eyes with the rapidly increasing popularity of his friend and rival, Bjornson, who was advancing from success to success with serene confidence. These were the circumstances that enabled Ibsen to portray so vividly in The Pretenders Skule's anxious craving for success, and the conflict between his torturing lack of self-confidence and his uneasy consciousness that Haakon's success, though easier, was deserved.

Download or read book One Act Plays Classic Reprint written by Helen Louise Cohen and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from One Act Plays The one-act play is a new form of the drama and more emphatically a new form of literature. Its possibilities began to attract the attention of European and American writers in the last decade of the nineteenth century, those years when so many dramatic traditions lapsed and so many precedents were established. It is significant that the Oldest play in the present collection is Maeterlinck's The Intruder, published in 1890. The history of this new form is of necessity brief. Before its vogue became general, one-act plays were being presented 'in vaudeville houses in this country and were being used as curtain raisers in London theatres for the purpose of marking time until the late-dining audiences should arrive. With the exception of the famous Grand Guignol Theatre in Paris, where the entertainment for an evening might consist of sev eral one-act plays, all of the hair-raising, blood-curdling variety, programs composed entirely of one-act plays were rare. Sir James Matthew Barrie is usually credited with being the first in England to write one-act plays intended to be grouped in a single production. A program of this character has been un common in the commercial theatre in America, but three of Barrie's one-act plays, constituting a single program, have met with enthusiastic response from American audiences. There are two new developments in the history of the theatre that have encouraged and promoted the writing of one act plays: the one is the Repertory Theatre abroad and the other is the Little Theatre movement on both sides of the At lantic. The repertory of the Irish Players, for example, is composed largely of one-act plays, and American Little Theatres are given over almost exclusively to the one-act play.
