Download or read book Shakespeare s Mannerist Canon written by Jeffrey Rayner Myers and published by Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1989 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Myers uses a new and theoretically provocative comparative approach to bring into view and then to question the pervasive but often unsuspected influence of the «classical» conception of Shakespeare's canon dominant since Dowden first suggested it in the middle of the nineteenth century. As an alternative, he argues for a «mannerist» conception of the canon that is more persuasive than the outmoded conception in the light of artistic possibilities in the Renaissance and more useful to the continuing reinterpretation of Shakespeare's plays.

Download or read book Shakespeare and the Mannerist Tradition written by Jean-Pierre Maquerlot and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1996 book offers an original approach to Shakespeare's so-called 'problem plays' by contending that they can be viewed as experiments in the Mannerist style. The plays reappraised here are Julius Caesar, Hamlet, Troilus and Cressida, All's Well That Ends Well and Measure for Measure. How can a term used to define a movement in art history be made relevant to theatrical analysis? Maquerlot shows how famous painters of sixteenth-century Italy cultivated structural ambiguity or dissonance in reaction to the classical canons of the High Renaissance. Close readings of Shakespeare's plays, from the period 1599 to 1604, reveal intriguing analogies with Mannerist art and the dramatist's response to Elizabethan formalism. Maquerlot concludes by examining Othello, which marks the end of Shakespeare's Mannerist experiments, and the less equivocal use of artifice in his late romances.

Including contemporary directors’ notes and interviews with actors and audience members alongside Elizabethan reviews, criticism, and commentary, Shakespeare and Commedia dell’Arte presents an invaluable resource for scholars and students of Renaissance theatre.
Download or read book Hamlet and the Vision of Darkness written by Rhodri Lewis and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed new interpretation of Shakespeare's Hamlet Hamlet and the Vision of Darkness is a radical new interpretation of the most famous play in the English language. By exploring Shakespeare's engagements with the humanist traditions of early modern England and Europe, Rhodri Lewis reveals a Hamlet unseen for centuries: an innovative, coherent, and exhilaratingly bleak tragedy in which the governing ideologies of Shakespeare's age are scrupulously upended. Recovering a work of far greater magnitude than the tragedy of a young man who cannot make up his mind, Lewis shows that in Hamlet, as in King Lear, Shakespeare confronts his audiences with a universe that received ideas are powerless to illuminate—and where everyone must find their own way through the dark.
