He is mentioned in Webbe's Discourse of English Poetry, 1586; and Puttenham in his Art of English Poesy, 1589, tells us that the Earl of Oxford (of whose dramatic productions there is no other trace) and Edwards deserve the highest prize for comedy and interlude.'

Book The Art of English Poesy

Download or read book The Art of English Poesy written by George Puttenham and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Puttenham's Art of English Poesy is a foundational work of English Renaissance criticism and literary theory. Rich in detail about the nature, purpose, and functions of poetry as well as the poet's character and goals, it is also a valuable historical document, offering generous insight into Elizabethan court culture, implicitly on display in the attitudes and values of the writer. His illustrative anecdotes enable us to watch European courtiers negotiating their social and political relationships with one another as well as with rulers and social inferiors. This new critical edition of The Art of English Poesy contains the first modernized and fully annotated edition of Puttenham's 1589 text; a substantial introductory essay by Frank Whigham and Wayne A. Rebhorn; a comprehensive bibliography; several glossaries and appendixes; and an index. The editors' masterly essay introduces Puttenham to modern readers and situates The Art of English Poesy in the context of the rhetorical theory, poetics, and courtly conduct of its time. The introduction also includes a concise biography of Puttenham based on a variety of new and unfamiliar data: he married an older and much richer woman whom he badly mistreated; indulged habitually in a life of sexual predation; was repeatedly sued, arrested, and imprisoned; survived several supposed attempts on his life; and died, nearly indigent, in 1591. For scholars and students of the English Renaissance, the Cornell edition of The Art of English Poesy should prove the definitive edition of Puttenham's major work.

Book Shakespeare  Bakhtin  and Film

Download or read book Shakespeare Bakhtin and Film written by Keith Harrison and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-16 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how Bakhtin’s ideas can illuminate the compelling but uneasy fusion of Shakespeare and cinema. With a wide variety of tones, languages, cultural orientations, and thematic concerns, film directors have updated, translated, transposed, fragmented, parodied, and geographically re-situated Shakespeare. Keith Harrison illustrates how Bakhtin’s interlinked writings in various fields can fruitfully be applied to an understanding of how the ongoing responsiveness of filmmakers to Shakespeare’s historically remote words can shape self-expressive acts of co-authoring in another medium. Through the use of such Bakhtinian concepts as the chronotope, heteroglossia, the carnivalesque, and polyphony, Harrison details how filmmakers—faithful to their specific cultures, genders, geographies, and historical moments—dialogically locate their particularity through Shakespeare’s presence.

Book Shakespeare s Garden  Classic Reprint

Download or read book Shakespeare s Garden Classic Reprint written by J. Harvey Bloom and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Garden More than one author has written a treatise on Shakespeare's flowers, and more than one has achieved success. The small books with coloured illustrations, of which there are many more or less artistic, cannot be counted in this category. They are not meant to be aids to serious study. The first to attempt a volume of the latter kind was Sidney Beisley, who wrote "Shakespeare's Garden" in 1864. He was followed by a series of essays in the "Garden" by the Rev. Henry Ellacombe in 1876, and these were republished in book form in 1878 by Pollard, of Exeter, and reprinted in 1884 (Satshell and Co., London), and again in 1896 (Arnold, London), while in 1883 George H. Grindon's "Shakespeare Flora" appeared (Palmer and Howe, Manchester). The present volume is cast in the form of a calendar, and, month by month, the trees, shrubs, and flowers coming to perfection at that particular time of the year are duly treated. As a rule, the time of flowering is considered the time of perfection also; but certain exceptions are made in favour of well-known fruits, whether British or foreign.
