Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Enigma and Cipher In view of the appearance of the word Cypher in this play and of its surroundings (suggestive of the enigma); in view of the unwarranted introduction of Hercules among the Worthies (where he was needed for the enigma); in view of his various peculiarities '(all proper for the enigma); in view of Costard's strange arithmetic (which fits the enigma); and in view of the King's strange miscounting (which the enigma can save from being pointless); we have reason for saying that this enigma of ours is not a present invention, but a present discovery; that it is Shakespeare's own which is to say, that Shakespeare com posed the interlude with some secret design, and that themould in which he cast the Nine Worthies was the word Cipher.

This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A man who is right twenty-four hours before everyone else, is taken for a lunatic for twenty-four hours.' (Antoine de Rivarol, 1753-1801) Well, I am looked at as a fool or a seditious maverick. At 20 I was starting to be an economist or economic historian, but the world of the media seduced me for a long time, all the while keeping my interest in psychology and handwriting analysis, and the latter became the guide thread of this book in the Shakespeare authorship debate. As a theatregoing teenager and University student, I watched performances of Shakespeare's plays staged in Budapest, and read them several times in the original or Hungarian translation. I also listened to lectures on psychology at the Free University, and realized how up-to-date psychological knowledge is concentrated in these centuries-old plays. At the same time, my studies in graphology brought me to Shakespeare's six signatures, and discovered an incomprehensible gap between the personality encoded in this handwriting and the traits needed to create such plays. My further analysis of the signatures confirmed that William Shakspere of Stratford could in no way have been the author of Shakespeare's works; the 'Swan of Avon' or the 'Bard of Stratford' was actually illiterate. This has been confirmed by the contents of his will and all other information available about him. My uncertainty was dispelled by the fact that famous scholars, writers and artists had already judged this part of the authorship the same way: Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Henry James, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sigmund Freud, Charlie Chaplin, Orson Welles, and many others. But I did not have time and inclination to wander further in the jungle of speculations about the concealed real author. In the meantime the situation has changed. Archives became available through the internet, and I have got enough free time as I retired. The digitisation of old manuscripts boosted many historical and philological research on authorship, but literary scholars still know very little about the significance of handwriting analysis and they are walking around blindfolded to the obvious fact that longhand is a physical evidence of the manuscripts' origin. This awakened the sleeping rebel in me - who completed this book. Not an easy read, but an exciting intellectual adventure for those infected with the virus of independent thinking.

Download or read book Routledge Revivals William Shakespeare The Anatomy of an Enigma 1990 written by P. E. Razzell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1990, the aim of this book is to reveal the William Shakespeare whose life has been obscured by centuries of literary mythology. It unravels a series of strands in order to understand the man and the major influences which shaped his life and writing. The first part advances the thesis that his relationship with his father directly influenced the character of Falstaff — helping to not only explain key events in his father’s life but also critical events in his own biography. This thesis not only illuminates the Falstaff plays but also a number of other works such as Hamlet. The second part focuses on Shakespeare’s own life, and includes much original research particularly on the tradition that he was a poacher of deer, discussing the influence this incident had on his later life and writings. In addition, a sociological approach has been used which illuminates a number of key areas, including questioning the view his background was narrow and provincial — which has often been used to dispute his authorship of plays of such cosmopolitan appeal.
Download or read book Shaw on Shakespeare written by Bernard Shaw and published by Hal Leonard Corporation. This book was released on 2002 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Applause Books). "With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his." - From SHAW ON SHAKESPEARE Celebrated playwright, critic and essayist George Bernard Shaw was more like the Elizabethan master that he would ever admit. Both men were intristic dramatists who shared a rich and abiding respect for the stage. Shakespeare was the produce of a tempestuous and enlightening era under the reign of his patron, Queen Elizabeth I; while G.B.S. reflected the racy and risque spirt of the late 19th century as the champion of modern drama by playwrights like Ibsen, and, later, himself. Culled from Shaw's reviews, prefaces, letters to actors and critics, and other writings, SHAW ON SHAKESPEARE offers a fascinating and unforgettable portrait of the 16th century playwright by his most outspoken critic. This is a witty and provocative classic that combines Shaw's prodigious critical acumen with a superlative prose style second to none (except, perhaps, Shakespeare!).
Download or read book Sweet Swan of Avon written by Robin Williams and published by Peachpit Press. This book was released on 2006-03-15 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is long overdue that someone took a closer look at the brilliant Mary Sidney. I have a suspicion that Mary Sidney’s life, and especially her dedication to the English language after her brother’s death, may throw important light on the mysterious authorship of the Shakespeare plays and poems. —Mark Rylance Actor; Artistic Director of Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre, 1996–2006; Chairman of the Shakespearean Authorship Trust For more than two hundred years, a growing number of researchers have questioned whether the man named William Shakespeare actually wrote the works attributed to him. There is no paper trail for William Shakespeare—no record that he was ever paid for writing, nothing in his handwriting but a few signatures on legal documents, no evidence of his presence in the royal court except as an actor in his later years, no confirmation of his involvement in the literary circles of the time. With so little information about this man—and even less evidence connecting him to the plays and sonnets—what can and what can’t we assume about the author of the greatest works of the English language? For the first time, Robin P. Williams presents an in-depth inquiry into the possibility that Mary Sidney Herbert, the Countess of Pembroke, wrote the works attributed to the man named William Shakespeare. As well educated as Queen Elizabeth I, this woman was at the forefront of the literary movement in England, yet not allowed to write for the public stage. But that’s just the beginning . . . The first question I am asked by curious freshmen in my Shakespeare course is always, “Who wrote these plays anyway?” Now, because of Robin Williams’ rigorous scholarship and artful sleuthing, Mary Sidney Herbert will forever have to be mentioned as a possible author of the Shakespeare canon. Sweet Swan of Avon doesn’t pretend to put the matter to rest, but simply shows how completely reasonable the authorship controversy is, and how the idea of a female playwright surprisingly answers more Shakespearean conundrums than it creates... —Cynthia Lee Katona Professor of Shakespeare and Women’s Studies, Ohlone College; Author of Book Savvy

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.
