Shakespeare's treatment of the age-old tale of love and betrayal is based on many sources, from Homer and Ovid to Chaucer andShakespeare's near contemporary Robert Greene. In the introduction the various problems connected with the play, its performance, and publication, are considered succinctly; its multiple sources are discussed in detail, together with its peculiar stage history and its renewed popularity in recentyears.

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: INTRODUCTION TROILUS AND CRESSIDA. I. THE HISTORY OF THE PLAY. Troilus and Cressida was first printed, so far as we know, in 1609, when two quarto editions appeared. The title-page of one of these is as follows: The Historic of Troylus and Cresseida. As it was acted by the Kings Maiesties seruants at the Globe. Written by William Shakespeare. LONDON Imprinted by G. Eld for R. Bonian and H. Walley, and are to be sold at the spred Eagle in Paules Church-yeard, ouer against the great North doore. 1609. The other quarto was printed from the same type, with the first lines of the title modified thus: The Famous Historic of Troylus and Cresseid. Excellently expressing the beginning of their loues, with the conceited wooing of Pandarus Prince of Liria. Written by William Shakespeare the rest exactly as above]. This edition also differs from the other in having a preface, apparently from the publisher, with the heading: A neuer writer, to an euer reader. Newes. The play is called a new one, neuer stal'd with the Stage, neuer clapper-clawd with the palmes of the vulger. It has hence been inferred that this edition was earlier than the other; but the Cambridge editors are perhaps right in their conclusion that the title we have given first was the original one, and that after some copies had been issued this was cancelled, and the second title with the preface inserted instead. They say: The title-page of the edition with the preface is printed from the same form as the other title-page, as is evident from a comparison of the parts in each, from ' Written by William Shakespeare ' to the end, which are absolutely identical. As the running title, 'The history of Troylus and Cresseida, 'corresponds with the first-quoted title-page...
Download or read book Shakespeare s Living Art written by Rosalie Littell Colie and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, her last book, Rosalie L. Colie suggests that by linking "forms"—verse forms, devices, motives, themes, conventions, genres—to the culture from which a writer springs and to his selection and organization of materials, we can understand the processes by which he becomes what he is, and is enabled to do what he does. She is particularly concerned with uncovering the ways in which Shakespeare used, misused, criticized, re-created, and sometimes revolutionized the received topics and devices of his craft. In this sense, Shakespeare's plays are seen as problem plays, each exploring the problematics of his craft and revealing his assessment of what was problematical. The author has chosen for study topics which connect Shakespeare with the long and rich continental Renaissance, in the hope that in the future Shakespeare might be, like Dante and Cervantes, an essential author in a comparatist's education. Usually a single topic dealing with some formal aspect of a play—the use of stereotypes to create a character highly original in stage practice, or the various manipulations of a mode (the pastoral, for example) rich in potentialities—is used to try to see in what particular ways Shakespeare shaped works that are still unique.

Download or read book The Moral Universe of Shakespeare s Problem Plays written by Vivian Thomas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is it that makes Shakespeare’s problem plays problematic? Many critics have sought for the underlying vision or message of these puzzling and disturbing dramas. Originally published in 1987, the key to Viv Thomas’s new synthesis of the plays is the idea of fracture and dissolution in the universe. From the collapse of ‘degree’ in Troilus and Cressida to the corruption at the heart of innocence in Measure for Measure, to the puzzling status of virtue and valour in All’s Well, the most obvious feature of these plays in their capacity to prompt new questions. In a detailed discussion of each play in turn, the author traces the dominant themes that both distinguish and unite them, and provides numerous insights into the sources, background, texture and morality of the plays.
