Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Avon of Shakespeare "The quiet little town of Stratford-upon-Avon receives more pilgrims from all lands than many a brilliant city rich in palaces and temples. The neighbourhood of this town has nothing very striking in its scenery; but many a wayfaring enthusiast, with knapsack on his back, may be found tracing the course of the 'lucid Avon, ' or climbing the wooded hills which overlook the hamlets of this richly cultivated district. The chief charm of this smiling country lies in the memory of one who was born and who died in this quiet little town - whose parents and children here also dwelt - who cultivated some of the fields which lie around his birth-place - but whose name has gone forth through all countries as the greatest name amongst the sons of England.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare and Stratford-Upon-Avon: A Chronicle of the Time The paragon of all patience thought he should hear of something to his advantage if his enemy would write a book. Book-making in all forms has been a serious undertaking at all times - never more so than at present; but I am in this work free from many of the anxieties of authorship. I have not written a book: this is only a compilation. The confession will strike the intelligent reader, who may have dipped into these pages before glancing at the preface, as less necessary than that of the very old master who, having painted a model specimen of the feline tribe, attached the celebrated inscription This 18 a cat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reliques of Stratford-on-Avon: A Souvenir of Shakespeare's Home N the little country town of stratford-upon-avon, in Warwickshire, Shakespeare was born on April 22nd, 1564, and so the place attained to the greatest honour which any town in the British Isles can lay claim to that in it first saw the light the poet of poets and the dramatist of all time. Stratford had quietly existed for centuries before, and was very little affected by its good fortune and even at the present day it is but little changed from Shakespeare's time. How different from the London to which he came, in his early days, to acquire that fame which so quickly became his. Could he now revisit the two places, he would hardly recognise a building in the London of to-day, certainly none in his old haunts in Southwark. But at Stratford, how different! Three and a half centuries have not altered it'to any great extent, and it is still easy to realise something of his life in the town where he was born, educated, and married, and whither he returned, after a moderate interval in London, to settle down and enjoy the latter end of his all too brief career.

Download or read book Shakespeare s Sonnets Classic Reprint written by William Shakespeare and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This 1865 edition was first printed in 1609 in London. Now, centuries after the Bard of Avon's death, his works remain popular, sought after, and worth republishing. This collection of sonnets is no different. This edition puts Shakespeare's fine 14-line poems in the spotlight, as it is devoid of any foreword, introduction, or any other type of writing but the sonnets. It includes all but one image - which is placed at the beginning of the book. In the absence of sonnet titles, the publishers did not make use of a table of contents. An index of first lines is provided instead, making it easier for the ardent Shakespeare fan to locate a particular sonnet out of the 154 included in the collection. It is delightful to discover that each page contains only a single sonnet, which facilitates clarity and ease of reading, aside from a satisfyingly "uncluttered" look. Reading the sonnets, one cannot but help sighing with delight at the beautiful rhymes and lines. The choice of words, combined with the fact that they do sound well with each other, makes lovers of the written word sigh with utter delight and joy. The romance oozing from virtually every line in Shakespeare's sonnets makes one keep reading one poem after the other compulsively. The clever themed grouping of the sonnets adds to the page-turning appeal of this edition. All in all, this is one volume to carry about, read, and re-read, especially when one needs a healthy dose of creative, or romantic, inspiration.

This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of William Shakespeare, Vol. 1 Little more than two centuries has elapsed since William Shake speare conversed with our tongue, and trod the self-same soil with ourselves; and if it were not for the records kept by our Church in its registers of births, marriages, and burials, we should at this moment be as personally ignorant of the sweet swan of Avon as we are of the old minstrel and rhapsodist of Meles. That William Shakspeare was born in Stratford upon Avon; that he married and. Had three children that he wrote a certain number of dramas; that he died before he had attained to old age, and was buried in his native town, -are positively the only facts, in the personal history of this extraordinary man, of which we are certainly possessed; and, if we should be solicitous to fill up this bare and most unsatisfactory outline, we must have recourse to the vague reports of unsubstantial tradition, or to the still more shadowy inferences of lawless and vagabond conjecture. Of this remarka able ignorance of one of the most richly endowed with intellect of the human species, who ran his mortal race in our own country, and who stands separated from us by no very great intervention of time, the causes may not be difficult to be ascertained, William Shakspeare was an actor and a writer of plays; in neither of which characters, however he might excel in them, could he be lifted high in the estimation of his contemporaries. He was honored, indeed, With the friendship of nobles and the patronage of monarchs: his. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
