Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes Upon Some of Shakespeare's Plays Things dramatic and things theatrical are often confounded together in the minds of English people, who, being for the most part neither the one nor the other, speak and write of them as if they were identical, instead of, as they are, so dissimilar that they are nearly opposite. That which is dramatic in human nature is the passionate, emotional, humorous element, the simplest portion of our composition, after our mere instincts, to which it is closely allied, and this has no relation whatever, beyond its momentary excitement and gratification, to that which imitates it, and is its theatrical reproduction; the dramatic is the real, of which the theatrical is the false.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Is Wrong With the Stage: Some Notes on the English Theatre From the Earliest Times to the Present Day This tendency was the inevitable outcome of the preceding period of religious dramas, an influence which had not entirely disappeared when James came to the throne. In fact, at the very time when the sentiment of drama was both wholesome and virile the outcry against it, from the Puritans, was the loudest. So far as the City Corporation's objection went it was due to dislike of interference from the Privy Council; that of the clergy was for economic reasons. And the outcry was always the same - complaints of The daily disorderly exercise of a number of players and playing-houses erected within the City, whereby the youths of the City were greatly corrupted and their manners infected with many evils and ungodly qualities by reason of the wanton and profane devices presented on the stage. Here suspicion is aroused by the vague nature of the charges made, as regards the ethical teaching of the plays, and the Corporation never attempted a definition of their accusations. Indeed, the root of the objection was obvious to those who lived within the city walls. The Corporation represented the business interests of the com munity, and merchants found the actors a sore hindrance to trade, with their afternoon performances given in the Inn Yards, after parading the narrow thoroughfares with drum and colours in order to collect an audi ence which would be sure to include many apprentices who were more interested in what they heard at the theatre than in what they were selling behind the counter. Again, London was a city of churches which were in close touch with the Livery Companies, so that the Corporation was bound to defend the interests of the clergy who complained that the theatres were better attended than the churches. Thus the Privy Council was often called upon, by the Corporation, to condemn the conduct of actors who wore the of the very noblemen who sat at the Queen's Council Table; these actors having been licensed to appear within the Corporation's jurisdiction whether the Corporation liked it or not.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Heroes on the Stage Classic Reprint written by Charles E. L. Wingate and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Heroes on the Stage In the kindly notices, by the critics, of "Shakespeare's Heroines on the Stage," the suggestion was made, in a number of instances, that a companion volume, treating of remaining plays and of the Heroes, might prove a useful accompaniment; and for that reason this volume (entirely distinct from the other, and dealing almost entirely with another series of Shakespeare's plays) has been written. This book, like the "Heroines," is not intended exclusively for the professed lovers of theatrical literature. It is written with the hope of entertaining the masses of people who read Shakespeare's works and see them played, and who would naturally feel interested in knowing how the great actors of the past and present, in England and in America, have interpreted the famous characters on the stage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare in the Theatre The interdependence of Shakespeare's dramatic art with the form of theatre for which Shakespeare wrote his plays is seldom emphasized. The ordinary reader and the everyday critic have no historic knowledge of the Elizabethan playhouse; and however full the Elizabethan dramas may be of allusions to the contemporary stage, the bias of modern dramatic students is so opposed to any belief in the superiority of past methods of acting Shakespeare over modern ones, as to effectually bar any serious inquiry. A few sceptics have recognized dimly that a conjoint study of Shakespeare and the stage for which he wrote is possible; but they have not conducted their researches either seriously or impartially, and their conclusions have proved disputable and disappointing.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Plays written by A. H. Paget and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-01-13 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Plays: A Chapter of Stage History, an Essay on the Shakesperian Drama The title of this paper, I trust, fairly indicates the subject proposed. It does not treat of Shake speare personally; nor of his plays, described simply with reference to himself. There is no attempt to show how the plays became what they are; I simply take them as they stand, and try to show what has been done with them since they came from the mind of the poet. I want to tell something of the condi tions under which they have been presented during a long series of years; for although Shakespeare is so much more to us than a mere writer of stage plays, I dare assert that now, as in his own day, the theatre is his proper and most natural home. He may be studied and dearly prized in all places but to know Shakespeare in his fulness, without the agency of the stage, is, to my mind, as impossible as to taste the magical charm of snowy peaks and glaciers only from poring over books of science at home.

Download or read book Burbage and Shakespeare s Stage Classic Reprint written by Mrs. C. C. Stopes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burbage and Shakespeare's Stage The Lives of the Burbages ought to have been written long since by others. For many years I have desired to do this work, and published instalments in "The Fortnightly" and the "Athenaeum," 1909, but the decision of the Shakespeare League to raise a Memorial to them in Shoreditch, determined me to do so at once, in order to help that Memorial Scheme. Therefore the collection, arrangement and publication of my materials, have at the last been rather more hurried than I would have liked, and some details may have been left in a state of comparative incompleteness which more leisure would have remedied. I would have liked to have said something of the lives of other contemporaries, such as Edward Alleyn, "who was Esquire made," and Ben Jonson, who criticized and praised Shakespeare; and to have aired some of my theories regarding the dramatic history of the time. But I did not wish, by presenting too many interesting people in the background, to distract my readers' attention from the central figures, or to divert their thoughts from the facts presented, to any discussion of my views. I may now, however, make some trifling suggestions regarding the facts on which I have so long dwelt. It may be noticed, by those who read my Note 28, the list of "the performances for 80 years of the Burbage Company," that there is a gap during which they do not perform at court, i.e., between 1563 and 1572. This may have arisen from lack of business qualities in the manager. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, Vol. 6 of 13: With Historical and Analytical Prefaces, Comments, Critical and Explanatory Notes, Glossaries, and a Life of Shakespeare Quarto 1, which is nearly one quarter less than Quarto 2 (2232 lines as against was evidently made up from shorthand notes taken at the theatre, supplemented by copies of portions of the original play, which for the most part appears to have agreed with the authorised version of 1599, though certain essential differences be tween the two editions make it probable that many a pas sage had been revised, te-written, or augmented (e.g. Act II., Sc. Vi., the meeting of Romeo and Juliet at the Friar's cell; Act IV Sc. V., the lamentations over Juliet; Act V. Sc. Iii. 12 In spite of its many defects, the First Quarto cannot be altogether neglected in dealing with the text of the play. The theory, however, that it gives us a fairly accurate version of the play as it was first written is now held by few scholars.* Date of Composition. The evidence seems to point to as early a year as 1591 for the date of the composition of Romeo and Juliet, at least in its first form, though the play, as we know it, may safely be dated circa 1596.

In spite of the fact that these plays have been performed on almost every known type of stage during the last three hundred and fifty years, isn't it possible that only on the stage for which they were written can their uninterrupted tempo and certitude of performance be realized?
