Book excerpt: King John, a history play thought to have been written before 1596, presents a different view of English history than did Shakespeare's earliest history plays, which depicted the infighting among the royals during the War of the Roses. While King John focuses on actual historical events, it does not attribute any fundamental meaning or significance to King John's reign. Rather, it treats history as an unpredictable unfolding of events, in which seemingly decisive moments become insignificant episodes in a haphazard universe.Yet audiences who lived during Shakespeare's time may have found King John, which is set in the thirteenth century, to be a reflection on the contemporary debate about royal legitimacy that surrounded the competing claims to the throne of Queen Elizabeth and Mary, Queen of Scots. The parallels between the play and these debates are numerous. John's claim to the throne is based on the will of Richard the Lionhearted, his elder brother and the previous king; Elizabeth's father Henry VIII made Elizabeth his heir by will, despite disputes about the legality of appointing successors. The pope excommunicates both John and Elizabeth from the Catholic Church. For more information about the details of Queen Elizabeth's life, see her SparkNote Biography.John's rival to the throne, Arthur, was the son of John's elder brother, as Elizabeth's rival Mary was the daughter of Henry VIII's elder sister. Succession usually passed to the offspring of the older child, so both John and Elizabeth's claims to the throne were weak. King Philip of France champions Arthur's case, and Mary's claims were supported by foreign kings as well, including King Philip II of Spain. John orders Arthur's death yet tries to distance himself from it, just as Elizabeth ordered Mary's assassination and distanced herself from the murder. Arthur's death provides an excuse for a French invasion, as Mary's death provoked Philip II to launch the Spanish Armada. As England is saved by a storm that shipwrecks the French reinforcements, so storms saved England from the brunt of the Spanish Armada. To an extent, this list of parallels oversimplifies both theater and history, but it nevertheless evokes the themes Shakespeare emphasized in this play, including the struggle with the pope, threat of invasion, and the problem of illegitimate rule.
Download or read book Shakespeare s History written by Lily B Campbell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1947 in the USA. This edition reprints the first UK edition of 1964. Published to critical acclaim, the central argument of this book is that the historical play must be studied as a genre separate from tragedy and comedy. Just as there is in Shakespearean tragedies a dominant ethical pattern of passion opposed to reason, so there is in the history plays a dominant political pattern characteristic of the political philosophy of the age. From the 'troublesome reign' of King John to the 'tragical doings' of Richard III, Shakespeare wove the events of English history into plots of universal interest.
Download or read book Shakespeare s Use of the Arts of Language written by Sister Miriam Joseph and published by Paul Dry Books. This book was released on 2008-09 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grammar-school students in Shakespeare's time were taught to recognise the two hundred figures of speech that Renaissance scholars had derived from Latin and Greek sources (from amphibologia through onomatopoeia to zeugma). This knowledge was one element in their thorough grounding in the liberal arts of logic, grammar, and rhetoric, known as the trivium. In Shakespeare's Use of the Arts of Language Sister Miriam Joseph writes: "The extraordinary power, vitality, and richness of Shakespeare's language are due in part to his genius, in part to the fact that the unsettled linguistic forms of his age promoted to an unusual degree the spirit of creativeness, and in part to the theory of composition then prevailing . . . The purpose of this study is to present to the modern reader the general theory of composition current in Shakespeare's England." The author then lays out those figures of speech in simple, understandable patterns and explains each one with examples from Shakespeare. Her analysis of his plays and poems illustrates that the Bard knew more about rhetoric than perhaps anyone else. Originally published in 1947, this book is a classic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These two history plays—one written in the early days of Shakespeare’s career and one at the very end—are alike in the complexity of their political vision. King John probes the nature of good and evil as self-interest and ruthless ambition proceed unchecked while an unpopular ruler wages a brutal fight to keep his throne. Henry VIII is a sumptuous spectacle of pomp and ceremony, as well as an exploration of the mysterious ways in which the rise and fall from power of individuals led ultimately to England’s destiny as a Protestant nation.
