Book excerpt: Imagining Time in the English Chronicle Play: Historical Futures, 1590-1660 argues that dramatic narratives about monarchy and succession codified speculative futures in the early modern English cultural imaginary. This book considers chronicle plays—plays written for the public stage and play pamphlets composed when the playhouses were closed during the civil wars—in order to examine the formal and material ways that playwrights imagined futures in dramatic works that were purportedly about the past. Through close readings of William Shakespeare's 1&2 Henry IV, Richard III, Shakespeare's and John Fletcher's All is True, Samuel Rowley's When You See Me, You Know Me, John Ford's Perkin Warbeck, and the anonymous play pamphlets The Leveller's Levelled, 1 & 2 Craftie Cromwell, Charles I, and Cromwell's Conspiracy, the volume shows that imaginative treatments of history in plays that are usually associated with the past also had purchase on the future. While plays about the nation's past retell history, these plays are not restricted by their subject matter to merely document what happened: Playwrights projected possible futures in their accounts of verifiable historical events.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Chronicle Play: A Study in the Popular Historical Literature Environing Shakespeare The foundations of the following study are in the plays themselves and in the several contemporary records of the drama, chief among them Henslowe's indispensable Diary and the registers of the Stationers' Company. The author is not'one of those that seek to belittle the eminent services of our elder English dramatic critics. Malone, Dyce and Gifford followed with respect, Lamb and Coleridge with enthusiasm and Collier at all times with circumspection are guides whom none can afford to despise. Admirable too is the assidiious industry and learning with which scholars like Klein and Professor Ward have traversed large sweeps of the drama or, like the many able German writers of monographs, have illuminated specific parts of the subject; while with all his wanderings and contradictions, in the mass of material which he has unearthed and in the happy suggestiveness of many of his surmises Mr. F. G. Fleay has done all students of the English drama an inestimable service. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Froissart and the English Chronicle Play The present study was undertaken in order to disclose the relationship existing between the Chronicles of John Froissart and historical literature in England up to the seventeenth century when the Tudor Chronicle plays van ished from the stage. During the last two decades, critical scholarship has discovered many intimate relations between French and English lyric and romance Of the medieval period, and between the writings of the Pleiade and the poetry of the Elizabethan age. Investigation, however, Of Froissart's connections with English Literature has been almost wholly confined to his poetry, chiefly with reference to that of his friend, Geoffrey Chaucer. Froissart's most noted work, the Chronicles, which was translated into Eng lish by Lord Berners as early as 1523-5, has been generally overlooked as a source for the Sixteenth century chroniclers, and the succeeding dramatists Of English history. Moreover, in searching for sources Of chronicle history plays, critics have confined their attention too exclusively to the Chron ioles Of Holinshed, largely perhaps, because Shakespeare has given this history such enviable prestige. But other and better chronicles of this period also found eager readers. Today, when any question arises concerning sources for chronicle plays, the easy and immediate answer is Holins hed. In Opposition, then, to what might become a facile dogmatism, the following pages endeavor to reveal to what extent those chapters in Froissart's Chronicles that relate English history, particularly the reigns Of Edward III and Richard II, influenced the chroniclers and playwrights Of the Elizabethan age. To facilitate this investigation, the first two chapters review the life and literary work of Froissart, and of his translator, Lord Berners. In writing these chapters I have availed myself freely Of the excellent work of previous in vestigators, and have, therefore, presented little that is original. The remainder of the first part discloses the continuous vogue Of Berners' Froissart among the long succession of English Chroniclers; and demonstrates in nearly every case their literal indebtedness to this transla tion. The second part discusses in detail the numerous poetic and dramatic versions of Edward III and Richard II in Elizabethen literature, and attempts to prove the indebtedness of the authors to Berners' translation. Chap ter IV presents the new and complete sources from Ber ners for the anonymous play Edward III, wrongly sup posed to be derived from Holinshed, and reviews in this light the question Of authorship. Chapters VI and VII offer for the plays, Jack Straw and Woodstock sources that heretofore have been either incorrectly, or partially traced. The last five chapters Show the use made Of Berners by Samuel Daniel while writing the Civil Wars, and, in view Of this relationship, throw new light on the indebtedness of Shakespeare's Richard II to Daniel's epic.

Download or read book Shakespeare s English Kings written by Peter Saccio and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2000-04-20 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far more than any professional historian, Shakespeare is responsible for whatever notions most of us possess about English medieval history. Anyone who appreciates the dramatic action of Shakespeare's history plays but is confused by much of the historical detail will welcome this guide to the Richards, Edwards, Henrys, Warwicks and Norfolks who ruled and fought across Shakespeare's page and stage. Not only theater-goers and students, but today's film-goers who want to enrich their understanding of film adaptations of plays such as Richard III and Henry V will find this revised edition of Shakespeare's English Kings to be an essential companion. Saccio's engaging narrative weaves together three threads: medieval English history according to the Tudor chroniclers who provided Shakespeare with his material, that history as understood by modern scholars, and the action of the plays themselves. Including a new preface, a revised further reading list, genealogical charts, an appendix of names and titles, and an index, the second edition of Shakespeare's English Kings offers excellent background reading for all of the ten history plays.
