Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Thomas Nabbes, Vol. 1 The Collected Poems and Plays of Thomas Nabbes, edited by A. H. Bullen, and published in 1887, is the first and only attempt to bring the work of this dramatist into a form easily accessible to the student of the old drama. The introduction to this edition supplemented by Sir Sidney Lee's sketch in The Dictionary of National Biography, has furnished the point of departure for the biographical comment which opens the present study of Nabbes as a dramatist and the author of the tragedy, Hannibal and Scipio. As far as practicable, the sources used by the biographers named, and by others of the scant commentators upon Nabbes, have been carefully reexamined. In the review of the individual plays, Bullen's edition has been used for the comedies, the masques and the tragedy of The Unfortunate Mother. For the more detailed study of the tragedy, Hannibal and Scipio, the Quarto text, 1637, has been used. The method is indicated in general, at each stage of the investigation, which has aimed to distinguish as clearly as possible between the modicum of the really authoritative and the purely inferential concerning Nabbes and his work. The aim has been not so much to draw conclusions as to find probable grounds for possible conclusions. Grateful acknowledgement is due to the professors of the department of English in the University of Pennsylvania, to whose lectures there is traceable either direct or indirect influence, in this study. Special acknowledgement is made to Professor F. E. Schelling under whose direction the study was undertaken and to whose criticism it was submitted. Among those of other departments acknowledgement is due to Professor Walton B. McDaniel of the department of Latin. Among librarians, those of the circulating department of the University of Pennsylvania, those of Columbia University and the librarian of the University of Chicago, are remembered for special courtesies. The librarian of the Bodleian, Oxford, has generously granted a transcript of the manuscript fragment used in the study of Hannibal and Scipio, and reprinted at the close. The Rector of Exeter College kindly sent copies of the record of the matriculation of Nabbes in that College.

Download or read book The Works of Thomas Nashe Vol 1 written by Ronald B. Mckerrow and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Nashe, Vol. 1: Edited From the Original Texts Since the four volumes of this edition of the works of Thomas Nashe are to be published one by one as they are completed, it seems desirable to explain briefly the arrange ment which has been adopted. The first three volumes will contain the text, together with short introductory notes describing the various earlier editions, and, when necessary, discussing the reasons for the choice of the particular edition which is followed. In these volumes will be con tained all the works generally assigned to Nashe, with the exception of Martins Mom/6s minde, which, at least at present, I see not the slightest reason for attributing to him. The fourth volume will contain a memoir of Nashe, notes to the works, and a glossary. This arrangement has not been adopted without con siderable thought. There is an obvious advantage in having the notes in the same volume as the text to which they refer, but in the case of an author like Nashe, many of whose works are closely interconnected, it seemed that the inconvenience of having constantly to refer from the notes in one volume to those in another would more than counterbalance any advantage thus gained. It is hoped that with this arrangement it will at least be possible with a minimum of trouble to find the editorial matter having reference to any work or passage in a work, and, what is sometimes a matter of no less difficulty, to satisfy oneself whether the information required is or is not given.

Download or read book Shakespeare and the Book Trade written by Lukas Erne and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare and the Book Trade follows on from Lukas Erne's groundbreaking Shakespeare as Literary Dramatist to examine the publication, constitution, dissemination and reception of Shakespeare's printed plays and poems in his own time and to argue that their popularity in the book trade has been greatly underestimated. Erne uses evidence from Shakespeare's publishers and the printed works to show that in the final years of the sixteenth century and the early part of the seventeenth century, 'Shakespeare' became a name from which money could be made, a book trade commodity in which publishers had significant investments and an author who was bought, read, excerpted and collected on a surprising scale. Erne argues that Shakespeare, far from indifferent to his popularity in print, was an interested and complicit witness to his rise as a print-published author. Thanks to the book trade, Shakespeare's authorial ambition started to become bibliographic reality during his lifetime.

Download or read book Shakespeare in Parts written by Simon Palfrey and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-27 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A truly groundbreaking collaboration of original theatre history with exciting literary criticism, Shakespeare in Parts is the first book fully to explore the original form in which Shakespeare's drama overwhelmingly circulated. This was not the full play-text; it was not the public performance. It was the actor's part, consisting of the bare cues and speeches of each individual role. With group rehearsals rare or non-existent, the cued part alone had to furnish the actor with his character. But each such part-text was riddled with gaps and uncertainties. The actor knew what he was going to say, but not necessarily when, or why, or to whom; he may have known next to nothing of any other part. Starting with a comprehensive history of the part in early modern theatre, Simon Palfrey and Tiffany Stern's work provides a unique keyhole onto hitherto forgotten practices and techniques. It not only discovers a newly active, choice-ridden actor, but a new Shakespeare.
