Download or read book Shakespeare s Lost Kingdom written by Charles Beauclerk and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A book for anyone who loves Shakespeare . . . One of the most scandalous and potentially revolutionary theories about the authorship of these immortal works.” —Mark Rylance, First Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre It is perhaps the greatest story never told: the truth behind the most enduring works of literature in the English language, perhaps in any language. Who was William Shakespeare? Critically acclaimed historian Charles Beauclerk has spent more than two decades researching the authorship question, and if the plays were discovered today, he argues, we would see them for what they are—shocking political works written by a court insider, someone with the monarch’s indulgence, shielded from repression in an unstable time of armada and reformation. But the author’s identity was quickly swept under the rug after his death. The official history—of an uneducated merchant writing in near obscurity, and of a virginal queen married to her country—dominated for centuries. Shakespeare’s Lost Kingdom delves deep into the conflicts and personalities of Elizabethan England, as well as the plays themselves, to tell the true story of the “Soul of the Age.” “Beauclerk’s learned, deep scholarship, compelling research, engaging style and convincing interpretation won me completely. He has made me view the whole Elizabethan world afresh. The plays glow with new life, exciting and real, infused with the soul of a man too long denied his inheritance.” —Sir Derek Jacobi

Download or read book Was the Shakespeare After All a Myth written by De Peyster and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Was the Shakespeare After All a Myth It is not even referred to in later works upon the subject. Like a faint meteor it had shone upon the ordinary sky and was lost in the superior light of the permanent constellations; was regarded as something unworthy the consideration of the acutest observer of the golden patines alluded to by Lorenzo in one of the greatest dramas credited to a genius which did not conceive them; was not a sufficient genius for such conceptions. If any one had reflected upon the Book of books he would have found therein a question which in itself dissipates the myth of Shakespeare. "How knoweth this man letters, having never learned." This truth was ignored by the unreflecting in the case of the play-actor, and manager, transmuted into an unsurpassed and unsurpassable genius by blind imagination and credulity, and finally idolatry. The iron rule "There is no royal road to learning" has never had an exception. The Warwickshire butcher-boy, adventurer and thrifty money-getter, could not - even with the transcendent gift of inventive perspicacity-have mastered the knowledge, art, science, philosophy and language displayed in his poetry and plays. Such a genius would be more than a miracle, because human after all, - without a transcendent miracle greater than any which the world has yet witnessed, and without the personal exertion of divine powers by divinity a sheer impossibility. "Oh, Shakespeare - Immortal bard - Mighty genius - Swan of Avon - thou unapproachable! Arc there no more fish, no more krakens in that wondrous sea from which thou wert taken? Shall there be no more cakes and ale? [as poor Artemus Ward said, "N. B. This is Sarkassum!"] How prone the English people are to kill off their great men! They first raise them up to the loftiest pinnacle of fame, and then, like the eagle with the tortoise, or the monkey which mounts the highest tree with his cocoa-nut, they dash their victims "all to pieces" upon the rocks below. Thus, also, they play the game of nine-pins with all their great statesmen. They set them up, ay, "set them up, my boy!" for the pleasure of knocking them down. And then, again, they drink to the full, at the Castalian fount and the inclination is irresistible to demolish the vessel that has served them: "Sweet the pleasure After drinking - to break the glasses!"

Download or read book A Myth of Shakespeare written by Charles Williams and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The English author and literary critic Charles Walter Williams is the author of the play "A Myth of Shakespeare". The play features a mythical Shakespeare as the main character as he interacts with the characters of his better known plays such as, 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'Love's Labour Lost', 'The Merchant to Venice', 'Romeo and Juliet', 'King Henry IV', 'Antony and Cleopatra', among others. Williams explains, "The following verse was written, at the suggestion and largely on the plan of Mr. A. C. Ward, of the City Literary Institute, for a Shakespeare festival; the first part for the afternoon performance, the second for the evening. Its purpose therefore is only to provide a momently credible framework for representative scenes and speeches from the Plays. It does not pretend to be an episodical play, after Mr. Drinkwater's model, and here and there—especially in the scenes relating to the Court—it allows itself a freedom of anachronism which its title may excuse. It contains no thesis of Shakespeare's life, character, or genius, except that he was a born poet and working dramatist. The scenes included were intended, quite mythically, to represent barely possible incidents in his life, passages read to or by his friends, or performances in his theatre..."
