Alphonso's plan to marry the girl (though he is much too old for her) is supported by his court favourite Medice, a figure roundly disliked by the other characters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from All Fooles, and the Gentleman Usher In this volume I have attempted to present the student of Elizabethan drama with a new and carefully edited text of two of Chapman's best comedies. I have in each case printed from transcripts made of copies in the Library of Edinburgh University and in the Bodleian, and I would offer my thanks in passing for the unfailing kind ness and courtesy which attended my work in both places. The transcripts in the first place and the proof after wards have been carefully collated with the original copies. The text of both the plays in this volume has also been corrected in proof by copies of the Quartos in the Boston Public Library. For this final collation I am indebted to the General Editor of this Series. It is my hope that the text here presented is as nearly accurate as it can be made. In the brief Biography I have attempted to restate the few known facts of Chapman's life in such a way as to give what seems to me a more connected view of his work than is usually afforded. In the Introduction I have tried to trace the development of Chapman' s art as a comic dramatist, and to fix his conception of comedy as com pared with that of contemporary writers. The Note: are intended to show Chapman's occasional borrowings from older works, to explain obscure allusions, and when necessary to elucidate involved passages by the method of paraphrase. The interpretation of single words has been entrusted to the Glossary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I had never visited that teeming region of the spreading West, and gladly accepted the invitation. The address was printed, according to custom, and I was fur nished with a liberal supply of copies, not sufficient, however, to satisfy all persons who seemed desirous of perusing it.

This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: “Two Gentlemen of Verona (The Unabridged Play) + The Classic Biography: The Life of William Shakespeare” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Two Gentlemen of Verona is the earliest comedy written by Shakespeare (and possibly his first play), probably written around 1589-92. It focuses on two friends, Valentine and Proteus, whose friendship is disrupted by their mutual passion for the lovely Silvia. Proteus jilts Julia in order to pursue Silvia; she responds by enlisting the help of her maid Lucetta to dress as a boy and go after Proteus. The play also includes some wonderfully comic supporting characters, particularly Launce and his scene-stealing dog Crab. Life of William Shakespeare is a biography of William Shakespeare by the eminent critic Sidney Lee. This book was one of the first major biographies of the Bard of Avon. It was published in 1898, based on the article contributed to the Dictionary of National Biography. William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, the authorship of some of which is uncertain. Sir Sidney Lee (1859 – 1926) was an English biographer and critic. He was a lifelong scholar and enthusiast of Shakespeare. His article on Shakespeare in the fifty-first volume of the Dictionary of National Biography formed the basis of his Life of William Shakespeare. This full-length life is often credited as the first modern biography of the poet.
