Download or read book The Illustrated Book of Shakespeare s Verse written by L.K. Bulbeck and published by Flame Tree Illustrated. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest English-language playwright of all time. He was a natural poet, writing some long narrative poems, many sonnets and much of his plays in rhyming or blank verse. His sonnets have been praised as a profound meditation on the nature of love, sexual passion, procreation, death, and time. This beautifully bound and illustrated book contains a carefully chosen selection of the bard's verse, from Sonnet 18's 'Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day?' and Sonnet 116's 'Let Me Not To The Marriage Of True Minds', to Hamlet's speech 'To be, or not to be'. It would make a very special gift to any fan of Shakespeare.
Download or read book Shakespeare Puzzles written by Cedric Watts and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Cedric Watts discusses 25 puzzles presented by the works of Shakespeare. For instance: The Sonnets - autobiographical or fictional? What is the plot of the long-lost Love's Labour's Won? What are the 'glass eyes' in King Lear? Prospero's epilogue: it is really Shakespeare's farewell? Repeatedly, these challenging discussions reveal and resolve problematic features of the works, and demonstrate the linkage of minor and major concerns. Cedric Watts, Emeritus Professor of English at Sussex University, was co-author (with John Sutherland) of the acclaimed book, Henry V: War Criminal? and Other Shakespeare Puzzles. This new selection of puzzles was first published in Around the Globe, the magazine of Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London.
Download or read book Henry V War Criminal written by John Sutherland and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2000 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Shakespeare loves loose ends; Shakespeare also loves red herrings.' Stephen Orgel Loose ends and red herrings are the stuff of detective fiction, and under the scrutiny of master sleuths John Sutherland and Cedric Watts Shakespeare's plays reveal themselves to be as full of mysteries as any Agatha Christie novel. Is it summer or winter in Elsinore? Do Bottom and Titania makelove? Does Lady Macbeth faint, or is she just pretending? How does a man putrefy within minutes of his death? Is Cleopatra a deadbeat Mum? And why doesn't Juliet ask 'O Romeo Montague, wherefore art thou Montague?' As Watts and Sutherland explore these and other puzzles Shakespeare's genuius becomes ever more apparent. Speculative, critical, good-humoured and provocative, their discussions shed light on apparent anachronisms, perfromance and stagecraft, linguistics, Star Trek and much else. Shrewd andentertaining, these essays add a new dimension to the pleasure of reading or watching Shakespeare. 'Few modern academics are doing quite so much as Professor Sutherland to connect the "common reader" with great books' Independent
Download or read book To All The World Must Die written by Paul Hemenway Altrocchi, MD and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014-08-21 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few are aware that the actual identity of William Shakespeare, a pen name, represents our greatest cultural mystery. Even fewer realize that Will Shakspere of Stratford-on-Avon was an uneducated businessman who never owned a book, knew no foreign languages, never traveled and never wrote a word of poetry or prose. Shakspere was a front for a complete fraud perpetrated by England's leading politician, Robert Cecil, for reasons of power and greed. The astonishing strength of Conventional Wisdom has kept the ruse going for 400 years, perpetrated by professors of English who, blinded by traditional dogma, refuse to accept the remarkable and growing body of evidence in favor of Edward de Vere. Volume 8 of the Anthology Series, Building the Case for Edward de Vere As Shakespeare, documents the quickening pace of Oxfordian discoveries in the late 1990s and early 2000s. These present massive problems for professors of English to combat in a convincing manner. Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, 1991: "For present purposes, I shall confine my analysis to the Sherlock Holmes principle that sometimes the fact that a watchdog did not bark may provide a significant clue about the identity of a murderous intruder. "This concern directs our attention to three items of [the Shakespeare authorship controversy]. First, it is of interest that there is no mention of any library, or of any books at all, in his will, and no evidence that his house in Stratford ever contained a library. "Second, his son-in-law's detailed medical journals . . . contain no mention of the doctor's illustrious father-in-law. "Finally is the fact that is most puzzling to me--the seven-year period of silence that followed Shakespeare's [Shakspere's] death in 1616. Until the First Folio was published in 1623, there seems to have been no public comment in any part of England on the passing of the greatest literary genius in the country's history. "It does seem odd that not even a cocker spaniel or a dachshund made any noise at all when he passed from the scene."
Download or read book Onstage and Offstage Worlds in Shakespeare s Plays written by Anthony Brennan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1989, this book focuses on the handling of the relationship between the onstage world and the offstage world, between the world that Shakespeare shows us and the one he tells us about. It is developed in two parts. Initially examined is the way reports are used in Shakespeare to relate the offstage and onstage worlds, building from simple examples within individual scenes in various plays to related sequences of reports which can be evaluated as part of broader strategies effecting the structure of a whole play. In the second part the author examines the ways in which several, or all, of these strategies work in individual plays, and what combined effect the prominent employment of them has in shaping the effect of the plays. In all cases the author is concerned to indicate why Shakespeare chose to handle matters as he does rather than in other ways available in the sources or in the speculative alternative methods which can be imaginatively constructed.

Download or read book The Shakespeare Puzzle A Non Esoteric Baconian Theory written by Barry R. Clarke and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2007-09 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daily Telegraph (UK) puzzlist conducts an investigation into the Shakespeare authorship question. Interesting new facts are presented that demonstrate that it was Gray's Inn law students that acted in the first known performance of The Comedy of Errors not Shakspere's company at the Gray's Inn revels 1594-5 and that it was Sir Francis Bacon who controlled them. An argument is given why Shakspere of Stratford could not have written this play. Bacon's motive for concealment is related to his need to find financial support for his Great Instauration project, the building of new institutes devoted to experimentation. The Shakespeare Authorship question requires careful navigation and the present work guards against over-interpreting the facts. Fully referenced and tightly reasoned, one noted academic commented that "Chapter 6 is very convincing".

Book excerpt: This book will serve to help the reader of Shakespeare’s plays by providing an introduction to the various literary critical issues that this great writer regularly generates.
