Book excerpt: A Poetry Book Society Recommendation Luke Kennard recasts Shakespeare's 154 sonnets as a series of anarchic prose poems set in the same joyless house party. Wry, insolent and self-eviscerating, Notes on the Sonnets riddles the Bard with the anxieties of the modern age, bringing Kennard's affectionate critique to subjects as various as love, marriage, God, metaphysics and a sad horse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Country To Shakespeare's Country, with some account of their history, than as a guide-book, though, it is hoped, that, even in this capacity, it may be found to have its uses. To call the attention of visitors to all places even legendarily associated with Shakespeare has been one of its principal purposes, and hence allusion has been made to tales and surmises respecting the poet which it must frankly be admitted rest upon no very certain foundation of fact. It has been thought better to err, if it is an error, on this side, than on that of exclusion, and due warning has been given in the text of the doubtful paths.

Download or read book England in the Age of Shakespeare written by Jeremy Black and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-01 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did it feel to hear Macbeth’s witches chant of "double, double toil and trouble" at a time when magic and witchcraft were as real as anything science had to offer? How were justice and forgiveness understood by the audience who first watched King Lear; how were love and romance viewed by those who first saw Romeo and Juliet? In England in the Age of Shakespeare, Jeremy Black takes readers on a tour of life in the streets, homes, farms, churches, and palaces of the Bard’s era. Panning from play to audience and back again, Black shows how Shakespeare’s plays would have been experienced and interpreted by those who paid to see them. From the dangers of travel to the indignities of everyday life in teeming London, Black explores the jokes, political and economic references, and small asides that Shakespeare’s audiences would have recognized. These moments of recognition often reflected the audience’s own experiences of what it was to, as Hamlet says, "grunt and sweat under a weary life." Black’s clear and sweeping approach seeks to reclaim Shakespeare from the ivory tower and make the plays’ histories more accessible to the public for whom the plays were always intended.

Book excerpt: Shakespeare was born and grew up in Stratford-upon-Avon in the heart of England and this was a great source of inspiration to him in his early years. He spent much of his adult life in London, however, and also travelled a great deal. In this book you will find his celebrated birthplace to which many thousands flock each year from all parts of the world, as well as the family properties, now carefully preserved. There are still halls in London where his plays were performed but it is not just the buildings that bring us close to Shakespeare, his work is deeply rooted in the countryside and especially Warwickshire
