Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Portraiture of Shakespeare Doubtless the chances are against the success of such attempts: but it is not difficult to see that in one respect at least they may be helpful and instructive. If we only consider what a bust or a portrait must be in order to express the form and favour' of a man at his best, we shall readily arrive at a principle, which, while it serves to explain that diversity of expression which is found in different copies from the same picture, to some extent justifies the attempt to recover a lost likeness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Portrait of Shakespeare: The Case of the Ely Palace Painting as Against That of the So-Called Droeshout Original Yet the main end in view was accomplished. When the unmistakable merits Of the Ely Palace portrait became known, they secured it a place among the few representations of Shakespeare that deserve the serious con sideration Of the student. It would not be necessary to revive so vexing a controversy, except for the fact that evidence has developed which throws new light on the difficult points at issue. Unfortunately this new evidence can only be made clear by reviewing the entire discussion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Lecture on Some Portraits of Shakespeare and Shakespeare s Brooch Classic Reprint written by John Rabone and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Lecture on Some Portraits of Shakespeare, and Shakespeare's Brooch You Like It. Whether either of those surmises were correct or not, it should be borne in mind that tradition invariably assigned to Shakespeare the personation on the stage of characters of middle age, or in the decline of life. The face of the Droeshout portrait agreed with the bust in the church except in the beard and the hair, the beard in the print being shaved and the hair straight, while in the bust the chin was not shaven and the hair was curled. The eyes in the print appeared to have a hard and care-worn look, but that might, perhaps, be accounted for by the inartistic way in which they were drawn. The dress belonged to no historic period. The lawn ruff apparently opened at the back, and the whole dress might with reason be supposed to have been the production of some stage tailor of the period. As to the truthfulness of the features, there could be no better testimony than Ben Jonson's in the lines quoted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Portraits of Shakespeare The list of books consulted in the preparation of this volume will give a fair idea of the mass of literature which has accumulated around the portraits of Shakespeare. Three books, however, stand prominently forth - Boaden's Inquiry, 1824, Wivell's Inquiry, 1827, and Friswell's Life Portraits, 1864. The excellence of Boaden's work is marred by its diffuse style. He seems to have endeavored to fill out his book by the insertion of matter which is foreign to his subject, and even in the discussion of the traits of a portrait his many words obscure his meaning. Wivell's book is a literary curiosity. He was evidently a wholly uneducated man, and his style is turgid in the extreme. He reprinted much of Boaden's material, but he also added interesting descriptions of portraits passed over by his predecessor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Supposed Caricatures of the Droeshout Portrait of Shakespeare: With Fac-Simile of the Rare Print Taken From a Very Scarce Tract of an Elizabethan Poet "Though I deserve not, I desire The laurel wreath, the poet's hire." Thus sang quaint John Taylor, the Water-poet, who was Sailor, Sculler, Traveler, and Reporter, in the golden age of "Eliza and our James;" who for fifty years poured forth a remarkable collection of prose and verse, which is very little known outside the circle of those who delight in Elizabethan literature; and it may be truly said no other English author gives us more exact or curious information respecting the customs, buildings, rivers, inns, and manners of the people of that age than John Taylor. Yet in his voluminous works the magic name of Shakespeare is only once mentioned - namely, in his "Praise of Hemp-seed" where he tells us: "Spencer and Shakespeare did in Art excell." Could this have been written to refute what Ben Johnson had told Drummond of Horthornden in 1618 when he said: "Shakespeare wanted Art"?

This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of the Life of Shakespeare In the absence Of some very important and unexpected discovery, the general desire to penetrate the mystery which surrounds the personal history Of Shakespeare cannot be wholly gratified. Something, however, may be accomplished in that direction by a diligent and critical study of the materials now accessible, especially if deter mined care be taken to avoid the temptation Of endeavour ing to illustrate that history by his writings, or to decipher his character or sensibilities through their media. It is the more important to insist upon the latter conditions as necessary preliminaries, for so vivid is of ten the earnestness which he throws into the spirit Of a character that it would occasionally be all but impossible, unless a vigilant guard is entertained against such a fallacy, to doubt that what we read was not a purely intellectual emanation. A man's poetry, however, Observes the greatest Of modern bards, has no more to do with the every-day individual than inspiration with the Pythoness when removed from the tripod. Shakespeare's could have been no exception, for it must surely be admitted that the exchange of the. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
