Each major play is explored in depth, explaining Shakespearean terms Offers commentary on the experience of each play on and off stage with attention to language and verse Appendixes include Shakespeare's likely collaborations, a glossary, suggested further reading, and resources for viewing live performances and video/audio recordings Perfect for students, general readers, theatregoers, and actors Published to commemorate Shakespeare's 443rd birthday

Book excerpt: A resident, as we judge, at Leamington, Mr. Morley has acquired much familiarity with Warwickshire scenes, sights, characters, and customs, and has written thereanent some pleasant and gossiping volumes. His latest work on the subject, which is agreeably illustrated by Mrs. Caroline Watts, has already, in an abbreviated form, seen the light in periodicals such as Knowledge, Country Life, and the Art Journal. It deals satisfactorily, in the main, with Warwickshire language, superstitions, folk-lore, and natural history, with a few notabilities, and other matters. Mr. Morley will scarcely maintain that the expressions and beliefs with which he deals are confined to his own county. Some of them, indeed, extend over the greater part of England. There is, however, enough of what is individual to supply the work with a raison d'etre, and render it even characteristic. "Bravery," as applied to feminine finery, is a pleasant Warwickshire survival. Shakespeare employs it more than ones in this sense, though the happiest use is in Milton's 'Samson Agonistes, ' when he depicts Dalila "like a stately ship, with all her bravery on and tackle trim. "Reckling," applied to the youngest and weakliest child, seems a diminutive of the Yorkshire "greek," used for the weakest and last of a litter. To call a girl a "faggot" is to convey the idea of untidiness, slatternliness. This word, common in the north of England, and often spelt "fagot," corresponds with the French fagoter, to dress frightfully or in slovenly fashion. To "fend" is said to equal "to work for." Would not "provide for" be a happier equivalent? "Go fend for yourself" means "Go provide for yourself." We own to being unaware that Charlecote Hall and other Tudor residences were built in the shape of an E, out of compliment to Queen Elizabeth; and we seem to scent an error when we read of an "ideal" Forest of Arden depicted in 'Measure for Measure.' Much interest attends the survival of "colly" as equivalent to "dark, black." See the use in the 'Midsummer Night's Dream' of the "collied night" for "blackened, darkened night." Among superstitions new to us is that the robin is "believes to have scorched its breast with hell fire, near which it had ventured for a beakful of water to assuage the sufferings of our Saviour when on the Cross."' Under 'Customs' we have interesting descriptions of the auction by candlelight and the payment of "wroth-silver." Shakespeare's greenwood is said to seem to-day to be "the only place in England where this relic of early Saxon times is still practiced with almost the same curious formalities as those observed at the wroth-silver payments of eight centuries ago." Mr. Morley's book may be road with amusement and advantage. Is it quite just to accuse Shenstone, on the strength of his lines "Written at an Inn at Henley, of being "addicted to the coarser pleasures of life"? Shenstone is, however, over-praised, and if from the point of view of the times in which he lived he is, as we think, unjustly condemned, we will strike a balance. -Notes and Queries, Ninth Series, Vol. 6, Jul. - Dec. 1900"

Download or read book Shakespeare s Greenwood written by George Morley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Greenwood: The Customs of the Country Moreover, from the most isolated of the vill Wilnecote in the hardy north, to (where a fearful instance of the survival of witchcraft occurred in I 87 5) and Long Compton in the extreme south, the carrier comes almost daily into the fashionable places of modern civilisation; yet with all these links to connect rural with urban life, the phraseology of four hundred years ago remains fixed and unalterable - being handed down, like a family heirloom, from parent to children along the line of generations. Whether the retention among Warwickshire people of the dialect form of speech is regarded by them as a sacred trust, whether it is em ployed and retained unconsciously, or whether as modern superstition has hinted, there is witchcraft in it, it certainly is a very curious fact that country-bred folk in Shakespeare's greenwood, no matter how long they may have eft their cottages on the heath, in a coomb, or by the side of a woodlet, or how busily they may have engaged in urban affairs, never entirely lose their native dialect.
