Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eighth I know no other play in Shakspere which is chargeable with a fault like this, none in which the moral sympathy of the spectator is not carried along with the main current of action to the end. The singularity of Henry VIII is that, while four-fifths of the play are occupied in matters which are to make us incapable of mirth [prologue, 25 the remaining fifth is devoted to joy and triumph, and ends with universal festivity.'

Download or read book The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eighth written by William Shakespeare and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-24 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eighth: A Historical Play, as Arranged for the Stage The Famous History of the Life of King Henry VIII. Is not the least popular of Shakespeare's historical plays. It is held by many that Shakespeare was assisted in the composi tion of this play by a younger dramatist, Fletcher. There is no direct evidence whatever of this; the opinion has been formed from a comparison of certain scenes in the play with the style and metre of Fletcher's work. Of this I am assured, that the play is touched by Shakespeare's genius; and if Fletcher was associated in the work, he must have been, as Mr. Hudson says, surprised out of himself. The picture of the Tudor period is so vivid, and the characterization at times so remarkable, that the revival of the play will, I trust, be welcome. The tragic interest ceases with the death of Katharine; but it will doubtless be recognised that the intention of the poet is to contrast, in the christening of Elizabeth, the sorrowful death of the divorced Queen with the brief triumph of Anne Bullen. I wish to express my indebtedness to Mr. Seymour Lucas, for his patient research and artistic skill, and to the many others who have rendered me valuable aid.

Download or read book The Youth of Henry VIII written by Frank Arthur Mumby and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Youth of Henry VIII: A Narrative in Contemporary Letters Although "The Youth of Henry VIII.," like its companion volume, "The Girlhood of Queen Elizabeth," may be left to stand alone, and read as a separate memoir, it forms an integral part of the series in which I hope eventually to illustrate the whole history of England by what James Howell describes as "the more gentle and familiar way" of letters. "Nothing," says Swift, "is so capable of giving a true account of history as letters are, which describe actions while they are alive and breathing, whereas all other relations are of actions past and dead." Ruskin is still more emphatic when he declares, in the same connexion, that "the only history worth reading is that written at the time of which it treats, the history of what was done and seen, out of the mouths of men who did and saw." Ruskin, of course, was exaggerating but his exaggeration was intended merely to accentuate the truth. My object is, therefore, to link together the essential letters of historic importance and the intimate correspondence of more domestic interest, so as to form a living record of each chapter in our country's story. The books will not attempt to pass judgment on controverted topics, but will endeavour always to allow each side to state its case in its own words, leaving the reader as far as possible to judge for himself. Historical documents, as someone has said, are very like the letters of the alphabet; they can he arranged and shuffled according to the point of view of any writer, whatever his prejudices may be. My own design is simply to arrive at the facts, and let the facts speak for themselves. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Henry II King Henry declared Maud his heir, and caused the peers to swear to accept her as his successor in England and in Normandy. There was no precedent for female sovereignty in either country, and it was probably not anticipated that she should reign alone, but rather that she should by marriage bestow the crown upon some fitting partner. The important matter of this marriage Henry had virtually under taken to submit to the decision of his barons, but at the end of May 1127 he betrothed her, with an absence of preparation that amounted almost to secrecy, to Geoffrey, son Of Count Fulk of Anjou, a boy of fourteen, eleven years the junior of his bride. The marriage, as Henry had foreseen, was unpopular, though the addition of the neighbouring provinces of Anjou and Maine to Normandy made the King of England the most powerful of all the feudatories of France.

Download or read book Henry VIII A History of his Most Important Places and Events written by Andrew Beattie and published by Pen and Sword History. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Henry VIII is well known: he is famed throughout the world as the charismatic king of England who married six wives (and executed two of them), who broke with Rome and dissolved England’s monasteries, and who grew from a Renaissance prince into a lustful, egotistical and callous tyrant. He is the subject of scholarly and popular biographies and of numerous fictional works, from John Fletcher and William Shakespeare’s jointly authored play Henry VIII to contemporary novels, films and TV series. But this book tells the story of Henry VIII in a very different way to any of these: through the places where the events of his life unfolded. From Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London to the site of the Field of the Cloth of Gold near Calais where Henry met the French King Francis I for a week of pageantry in 1520, and from his lavish palaces in London to quieter manor houses in the English countryside which he visited during his annual summer “progress”, a whole new light is thrown on this most compelling of historical figures. While some sites associated with Henry are now very ruinous – such as Woking Palace in Surrey, which Henry remodeled into a lavish royal residence but which is now little more than a few tumbledown walls, or Greenwich Palace, where he was born, of which only a few remnants from his era remain – others, most famously Hampton Court, are much more substantial; the book looks at Henry’s connections with each site in turn, along with the conditions that today’s visitors to the site can expect, beginning with the Thames-side palaces from Greenwich upstream to Hampton Court, before broadening its scope to include properties and sites outside London, in the West and North of England and in Northern France.
