Book excerpt: Here is the love story of a beautiful Irish girl who rode horses like an Arizona cowboy, whose hair was red as flame, and whose lover was an English gentleman. But then, there was the Spaniard, too! Hot-headed, he was, passionate and lawless as a Tartar. Needless to say the story takes some startling turns. The end is surprising. And the satisfying conclusion it all comes to is this, that the eternal feminine still responds to courage in the male.

Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare and Contemporary Dramatists written by Ton Hoenselaars and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Shakespeare's popularity has continued to grow, so has the attention paid to the work of his contemporaries. The contributors to this Companion introduce the distinctive drama of these playwrights, from the court comedies of John Lyly to the works of Richard Brome in the Caroline era. With chapters on a wide range of familiar and lesser-known dramatists, including Thomas Kyd, Christopher Marlowe, Ben Jonson, John Webster, Thomas Middleton and John Ford, this book devotes particular attention to their personal and professional relationships, occupational rivalries and collaborations. Overturning the popular misconception that Shakespeare wrote in isolation, it offers a new perspective on the most impressive body of drama in the history of the English stage.

Book excerpt: "The Little French Lawyer" is a comedic play co-authored by John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont, believed to have been first performed in the early 17th century. Set in France, the play follows the misadventures of a cunning French lawyer named Cleremont, who is known for his crafty and manipulative ways. The plot revolves around Cleremont's efforts to outsmart and manipulate various characters for personal gain. He becomes embroiled in a complicated love triangle involving a wealthy heiress, Isabella, and her suitors. Using his wit and cunning, Cleremont orchestrates a series of humorous and farcical situations, leading to unexpected twists and turns. As the play unfolds, Cleremont's schemes are eventually exposed, and he finds himself outwitted by his own cleverness. However, true love prevails in the end, and the characters find happiness despite Cleremont's meddling.
Download or read book The Tamer Tamed written by John Fletcher and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-05-29 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tamer Tamed is the subtitle or alternative title to John Fletcher's The Woman's Prize, a comedic sequel and reply to The Taming of the Shrew. The plot switches the gender roles of Shakespeare's play: the women seek to tame the men. Katherine (the "shrew" of the original) has died, and Petruchio takes a second wife, Maria. Maria denounces her former mildness and vows not to sleep with Petruchio until she "turn him and bend him as [she] list, and mold him into a babe again." After many comedic exchanges and plot twists, Petruchio is finally "tamed" in the eyes of Maria, and the play ends with the two reconciled. The play is seen to reflect how society's views of women, femininity, and "domestic propriety" were beginning to change. It is said that Fletcher wrote this play to attract Shakespeare's attention - the two went on to collaborate on at least three plays together. This brand new New Mermaid edition offers unique and fresh insight into the critical interpretation of the play. It builds on current critical foundations (the relationship with Taming of the Shrew, gender relations etc) and suggests different areas of interest (popular associations of the shrew, the question of reputation, and a re-examination of the play's structure). as well as examining stage history and recent productions.

Download or read book The Woman Hater written by John Fletcher and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-09-18 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Woman Hater, or, The Hungry Courtier is an early Jacobean era stage play, a comedy by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher. One of the earliest of their collaborations, it was the first of their plays to appear in print, in 1607. Critics have commented on the play's curious juxtaposition of two unrelated portrayals of obsessive psychology. In the main plot, Gondarino is a dedicated misogynist who strives to avoid any and all contact with women. The primary subplot traces Lazarello's obsessive quest for, of all things, a really nice piece of fish. "Beaumont juggles four plots with considerable ease, offering a bit of something for everyone: farce, bawdy wit, court satire, and a 'high' romantic plot."
