Download or read book Shakespeare s Life and Times written by Roland Mushat Frye and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsomely illustrated biography provides a dramatic, human view of Shakespeare as he lived his life. Narrative and pictures follow Shakespeare from his birth and boyhood in Stratford, through his career in the London theatre, and back to Stratford during the last years of his life, in retirement. Included in the 114 illustrations—many of them taken from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century originals—are two authentic portraits of Shakespeare. Pictures of the houses in which he lived, the theatres in which he acted, the other actors with whom he worked, and the faces of many people who knew him and wrote about him—all add a sense of immediacy to the biographical narrative and make Shakespeare come alive within the context of his own age.

Download or read book Shakespeare in the Stratford Records written by Robert Bearman and published by Alan Sutton Publishing. This book was released on 1994 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The life of William Shakespeare has, for over three hundred years, been the subject of intense speculation. The starting-point for any attempt to piece together a reliable picture of the man must be a close examination of those rare documents written during Shakespeare's lifetime that mention him by name. Just over seventy-five such documents survive and, of these, thirty-one are to be found in Shakespeare's native town of Stratford, in the care of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. For the first time this book, written by the Trust's Senior Archivist, offers a thorough and detailed analysis of these documents describing why and how they were written and what they tell us about the times in which Shakespeare lived."

Download or read book Shakespeare the Player written by John Southworth and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2011-10-21 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man of the Millennium' he may be but William Shakespeare is a shadowy historical figures. His writings have been analysed exhaustively but much of his life remains a mystery. This controversial biography aims to redress the balance. To his contemporaries, Shakespeare was known not as a playwright but as an actor, yet this has been largely ignored or marginalised by most modern writers. here John Southworth overturns traditional images of the Bard and his work, arguing that Shakespeare cannot be separated from his profession as a player any more than he can be separated from his works. Only by approaching Shakespeare's life from this new angle can we hope to learn or understand anything new about him. Following Shakespeare's life as an actor as he learns his craft and begins work on his own plays, Southworth presents the Bard and his plays in their proper context for the first time. Groundbreaking, contentious and a work of deep scholarship and understanding, 'Shakespeare the Player' should change the way we think about the English language's greatest artist.

Download or read book Imagining Shakespeare written by Stephen Orgel and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2003-08-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this beautifully illustrated book, one of the foremost Shakespeareans of our time explores the ways in which Shakespeare has been imagined from his time to ours. In a penetrating series of interpretations, Stephen Orgel explores the ironies and paradoxes that have characterized the reconstruction of Shakespeare's texts, his image, the staging and illustration of his plays over the past four centuries, as he is perennially reinvented for new cultural ends. Drawing on performance history, textual history, and the visual arts (including a fascinating chapter on portraiture), Imagining Shakespeare displays throughout the cultural versatility, elegance, lucidity, and wit which have become the hallmarks of Orgel's style.
