Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of English Kings, According to Shakespeare A little sketch leads up to the story of the second Richard; a glance at his famed ancestor, the Black Prince, in the act of winning his spurs; a look toward the English people of those days as they appeared to the clear vision of Chaucer, of the author of Piers the Plowman, of that rare old chronicler Sir John Froissart. Thereafter each story is a prelude to the one that follows; as, for instance, in telling the tale of Richard II much more than a beginning is made upon that of his successor. At the opening of each story there is a looking back to get the leading string well in hand. The world believes Shakespeare is its greatest dramatist, and, as possessing the profoundest insight, its best teacher of the science of human nature. If teaching by example is history, he is also one of the ablest of historians. These English plays, at least so much of them as are contained in this book, may well be a part of any coarse of general reading. Its perusal by the young, at odd times and at even times, regularly and as a "stop-gap," will hold open the doors into two great empires of thought - English history and Shakespeare.

Download or read book King Lear written by Jeffrey Kahan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2008-04-18 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is King Lear an autonomous text, or a rewrite of the earlier and anonymous play King Leir? Should we refer to Shakespeare’s original quarto when discussing the play, the revised folio text, or the popular composite version, stitched together by Alexander Pope in 1725? What of its stage variations? When turning from page to stage, the critical view on King Lear is skewed by the fact that for almost half of the four hundred years the play has been performed, audiences preferred Naham Tate's optimistic adaptation, in which Lear and Cordelia live happily ever after. When discussing King Lear, the question of what comprises ‘the play’ is both complex and fragmentary. These issues of identity and authenticity across time and across mediums are outlined, debated, and considered critically by the contributors to this volume. Using a variety of approaches, from postcolonialism and New Historicism to psychoanalysis and gender studies, the leading international contributors to King Lear: New Critical Essays offer major new interpretations on the conception and writing, editing, and cultural productions of King Lear. This book is an up-to-date and comprehensive anthology of textual scholarship, performance research, and critical writing on one of Shakespeare's most important and perplexing tragedies. Contributors Include: R.A. Foakes, Richard Knowles, Tom Clayton, Cynthia Clegg, Edward L. Rocklin, Christy Desmet, Paul Cantor, Robert V. Young, Stanley Stewart and Jean R. Brink
