Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Industry Shakespearean writers are wont to make apologies for the books they add to the pile, pending the passing of the proposed Bill that the Censor should be given powers to stay for nine years at the printers, all Shakespeare books which have not taken nine years at least in the writing. My apology is this, that for more than nine years I had been collecting materials for a book., which I meant to appear in Shakespeare's Commemoration year. Fate has made it impossible to finish it in time (perhaps impossible to finish it at all). But in defiance I said to myself that a book there should be, and I have brought together a series of papers, new and old, all bearing to some extent upon our great Poet. I have always tried to specialise in studies relating to his personal character, so that I may as much as possible understand the man. For this purpose I had brought out a twin volume in 1914, called (for lack of a better title) e Shakespeare's Environment.' This present one sticks more closely to its title of 'Shakespeare's Industry.' It was difficult for myself or my fellow-students to bring together my various papers, scattered in many periodicals, and it is the general idea which one requires to follow. Every one of the papers, at the time of publication, contained something new. These little new points are of some importance taken together, even to those who only borrow their work, for they may be used, fragments as they are, to design a beautiful mosaic. But to those who do all their work for themselves, these little points are found to be living seeds, which may be planted and bear fruit. The introduction of some of the articles under the title may be criticised. I acknowledge this. The first part of my Macbeth paper, for instance, has no bearing on Shakespeare, but on Macbeth. But the second part of the paper, on the contrary, discusses Shakespeare and his Industry, and his conception of Macbeth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Life of William Shakespeare The materials for a life of Shakespeare have been gradu-a ally assembled by the industry of hundreds Of scholars, extending through more than two centuries; and prob ably little new matter Of importance remains to be dis covered, except through a happy, and at present quite unforeseen, accident. The arduous labors of Professor and Mrs. Wallace in the manuscript archives of England, during the course Of which they examined over a million documents, recently yielded some fresh information; yet the small number Of their finds assures us that nearly all that we are likely to know Of the personal affairs of the great dramatist has already been made pub lic. This stagnation in discovery is perhaps responsible for the tendency, especially marked in the last decade, for writers to deal in fanciful speculation, evolving from Slight evidence, or none worthy of the name, bizarre and Often elaborately detailed hypotheses regarding Shake speare's relations with his contemporaries. But the re sults Of such ingenuity are likely to be as perilous as they are unsubstantial, and for the most part must be ignored by the biographer. On the other hand, some valuable information is now being derived from a study, largely bibliographical, Of the origin of the Shakespearean texts, and of their transmission to us through the medium of the playhouse and the press. True, much remains to be done in this field Of endeavor before absolutely final conclusions are established, yet the main facts which alone are needed for a general biography are already clear.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical Tales From Shakespeare Although in the following pages I have chosen those plays, or most of them, which Charles and Mary Lamb omitted from their Tales from Shake speare, and although I have. Taken a title very like theirs, my attempt has not been to round off or tag a conclusion to their inimitable work. They, as wise judges of what their book should be, found that a certain class of play lay outside their purpose. It is just these plays - the historical ones - which, with a different purpose, are here cast into narrative form.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hard Knots in Shakespeare This little work, which I have ventured to commit to the press, treats of a very small portion of a very large subject. It cannot pretend to be much more than a supplement, or appendix, to the numerous publications which have been issued from time to time on the text, the sense, the language, the style, the spirit, the whole life and character of Shakespeare. My object has been not to do over again work which has already been sufficiently well done, but to endeavour to throw new light on what I conceive to have been misunderstood by previous expositors, and to explain, or emend, certain passages, where, according to the Cambridge editors, 'the original text has been corrupted in such a way as to affect the sense, no admissible emendation having been proposed, ' or where 'a lacuna occurs too great to be filled up with any approach to certainty.'

Plays founded (for the most part) on the Bible had been popular all over England for centuries. Then, as the Latin comedies and tragedies - especially those of Plautus and Seneca - were more and more studied in the schools, and as the influence of the Renaissance in Italy and France had Spread to England, the field had widened. And just at the time when Shakespeare arrived in Lotfl' a group of young university men were giving the drama a fresh impetus and enlarging still further its scope. Plays of all sorts were being written, in response to the varying popular demand; delicate court comedies, like John Lyly's; plays that experimented in many fields, like those Of Peele and Greene; crude but powerful tragedies, like Kyd's; dramas like -marlowe's, that expressed, in the new medium of blank verse, the boundless aspirations of the time; plays that dealt with history, mythology, fairy lore, adventure, crime - everything was grist that came to the playwrights' mill, and the demand for more plays was steadily growing.

A pure taste, a rare talent for research a liberal education, which included the study Of humanity in many of its ab stract principles, as well as in its intellectual phases, will also be appreciated by the thoughtful scholar and ardent student of Shakespeare. A mind Of such order, with a sin gular industry as to time and Opportunity, together with a memory as tenacious and clear at eighty-five as at eighteen, are certainly possessions Of no mean value, and should at least entitle the owner to a full share of public confidence in any work which he might see fit to publish.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Macbeth for Use in Public and High Schools Classic Reprint written by William Shakespeare and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Macbeth for Use in Public and High Schools The Canadian School Shakespeare, as the name implies, is intended for use in Public and High Schools in Canada; and the annotations have been prepared especially with a view to the requirements of pupils in these schools. Besides the explanation of difficulties in the text, the notes on each scene include a brief critical comment, to which are added a series of questions based on the study of the scene; and following the annotations on each Act is a short summary or review. An Appendix to the volume contains examination questions from departmental and matriculation papers, and a list of composition subjects based on the play itself. The Introduction to the play contains a note on metre, an analysis of the characters and plot, and such general information as the study of the play requires. As a matter of interest to the student an outline of the life of Shakespeare, with an account of the theatre in his time, is also included. As a result of certain interesting researches that were made a few years ago, some new light has been thrown upon the life of Shakespeare in London; but within the limits of the brief outline which is required in a volume such as this, the editor has not thought it advisable to go into these details. The material is so arranged that the pupil in junior classes may easily obtain the help that he finds necessary; while at the same time the senior pupil will also find in the book all the assistance he requires in preparation for his examinations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and Other Lectures Ever since the publication of Mr Dawson's "Biographical Lectures," friends have been asking for others, which they remembered hearing in their delivery; and thus has been prompted the preparation of the present volume. The volume contains lectures and speeches - some delivered in earlier years, some in later, and differing considerably in style and merit; but the greater disparities are more owing to the reporter than the speaker. When a lecture is reported by Miss Beauclerc - as is the case with the one on the Shadow of Death we have a near approach to fulness and accuracy; but some of the newspaper reports are mere fragments which have missed what was most characteristic, and are only included because they serve as connecting links. In the preparation of the book I have had, as before, the invaluable help of Miss Beauclerc in collating and transcribing. The volume, we know, will be acceptable to Mr Dawson's old friends; and we trust it will be found bracing and helpful to young people. The Editor has supplied the foot-notes.
