Download or read book Tales From Shakespeare s Comedies Classic Reprint written by Charles Lamb and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales From Shakespeare's Comedies I believe that the book, thus annotated and illustrated, will be useful not only as' supplementary reading for young children (the teacher or the parent will of Course see what portions of the notes are suited to their age and capacity), but also as an introduction to the study of Shakespeare for those who are old enough to begin that study in earnest. For this, as we have seen, the T ales were intended, but the authors builded better than they knew. The child's story-book has become an English classic for children of larger growth. Even as a contribution, to Shakespearian criticism it has no mean value, as more than one good critic has pointed out. Mr. Ainger, in his introduction to the edition of 1878, referring to Mary Lamb's work on the Comedies, remarks She constantly evinces a rare shrewdness and tact in her incidental criticisms, which show her to have been, in her way, as keen an observer of human nature as her brother. Mary Lamb had not lived so much among the wits and hu'morists of her day without learning some truths which helped her to interpret the two chief characters of Mar/t Ado About Nothing As there is no one who so little likes to be made a jest of as those who are apt to take the same liberty themselves, so it was with Benedick and Beatrice these two sharp wits never met in former times but a perfect war of raillery was kept up between them, and they always parted mutually displeased with each other.' And again: The hint she gave him that he was a coward, by saying she would eat all he had killed, he did not regard, knowing himself to be a brave man but there is nothing.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's: Comedy of Much Ado About Nothing This, by the way, is the first occurrence Of the poet's name in these Registers. The quarto of 1600 was, on the whole, well printed; and no other edition Of the play is known to have been issued previous to the publicationof the Folio of 1623. The printers of the latter appear to have used a copy Of the quarto belonging to the library of the theatre and corrected for the purposes Of the stage; but the changes are for the most part very slight and seldom for the better, as will be seen by our Afofes below.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's: Comedy of the Taming of the Shrew It is one of the most interesting of the plays from the fact that it is not wholly Shakespeare's, and that we have the earlier comedy - itself, in all probability, the work of two hands - from which he took the main incidents of the plot, as well as some minor details of the action and occasionally the very phraseology. In the Notes I have quoted more of this old play than any other editor has given (except halliwell-phillipps, who reprints the whole of it in his great folio edition), in order that the reader may see just how Shakespeare has made use of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of Shakespeare's Comedies It seems almost a sacrilege to present merely the framework - the dry bones - of those world-famed masterpieces of diction and character drawing, Shakespeare's Plays; yet, for their right understanding and enjoyment, it is useful to disentangle the often intricate and confused substructures upon which they are reared, which (with one possible exception) were taken by the poet from earlier plays and transformed and transfigured by his genius.

Minor changes have been made throughout the Notes, and many new ones have been added, including a considerable number in place of those referring to my former editions of other plays.

Download or read book Four Comedies written by William Shakespeare and published by Bantam Classics. This book was released on 2009-08-26 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Taming of the Shrew Robust and bawdy, The Taming of the Shrew captivates audiences with outrageous humor as Katharina, the shrew, engages in a contest of wills–and love–with her bridegroom, Petruchio, in a comedy of unmatched theatrical brilliance, filled with visual gags and witty repartee. A Midsummer Night's Dream Fairy magic, love spells, and an enchanted wood turn the mismatched rivalries of four young lovers into a marvelous mix-up of desire and enchantment, all touched by Shakespeare’s inimitable vision of the intriguing relationship between dreams and the waking world. The Merchant of Venice This dark comedy of love and money contains one of the truly mythic figures in literature–Shylock, the Jewish moneylender. The “pound of flesh” he demands as payment of Antonio’s debt has become a universal metaphor for vengeance. Here, pathos and farce combine with moral complexity and romantic entanglements, to display the extraordinary power and range of Shakespeare at his best. Twelfth Night Set in a topsy-turvy world like a holiday revel, this comedy juxtaposes a romantic plot involving separated twins and mistaken identity with a more satiric one about the humiliation of a pompous killjoy. The hilarity is touched with melancholy, and the play ends, not with laughter, but with a clown’s plaintive song. Each Edition Includes: • Comprehensive explanatory notes • Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship • Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English • Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories • An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography
