Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pericles The first of Shakespeare’s late romances moves spectacularly from one dramatic period to another as the hero, Pericles, sails off to adventure and love, and experiences what for him is a miracle. Cymbeline A favorite romantic drama, this play of a wife unjustly accused of faithlessness moves from a world of intrigue and slander to one of reconciliation and forgiveness, and contains two of Shakespeare’s most poignantly beautiful songs. The Winter's Tale From a darkly melodramatic beginning to a joyous pastoral ending, this romance of a jealous king and his long-suffering queen is superb entertainment, with revelations, plot twists, and a final compelling theatrical moment of discovery. The Tempest This tale of the exiled Duke of Milan, marooned on an enchanted island, is so richly filled with music and magic, romance and comedy, that its theme of love and reconciliation offers a splendid feast for the senses and the heart.

Book excerpt: The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare, first published in the First Folio in 1623. Although it was listed as a comedy when it first appeared, some modern editors have relabeled the play a romance. Some critics, among them W. W. Lawrence (Lawrence, 9-13), consider it to be one of Shakespeare's "problem plays", because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Personal Shakespeare, Vol. 12 of 15: Cymbeline; The Winter's Tale; The Tempest; King Henry the Eighth Not until the Elizabethans - the audiences he had created, the men who had worked with him and acted on the same boards - had passed away, and the crowning tribute had been paid him by his fellow-actors, Kominge and Condell, in the publication of the First Folio of 162 3, that the tide of favour turned against him, and a change came over the scholars' estimate of his genius. Voltaire described Shakespeare as a writer of monstrous farces called tragedies, and his poetry as the fruit of the imagination of an intoxicated.

Download or read book The Winter s Tale written by William Shakespeare and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-10 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written toward the end of William Shakespeare's theatrical career, The Winter's Tale (1609-1611) is a story of loss and redemption. In a fit of wild and unfounded jealousy, Leontes, the King of Sicily, convinces himself that his pregnant wife is carrying his best friend's love child. Leontes's jealousy turns to tyranny as the king proceeds to destroy his entire family and a lifelong friendship. Sixteen long years pass, and we witness one of the most astonishing endings in English literature.The play is famous for its two-part structure, which makes The Winter's Tale seem like two entirely different plays that are joined together at the end. The first three acts enact a mini-tragedy and occur in wintery Sicily, while the second half of the play occurs in Bohemia during the summer months and features the kind of restorative ending typical of Shakespeare's "comedies."Because of its mixed genre, the play is often referred to as one of Shakespeare's "problem plays" (a group that also includes Pericles, Cymbeline, and The Tempest). To complicate matters, these works are also referred to as Shakespeare's "romances," which you can read more about in "Genre."Aside from its unique structure and Shakespeare's experiments in genre, The Winter's Tale is also famous for its flagrant disregard for the "classical unities" (of time, place, and action), literary rules that say all plays should have the following features: 1) the action should take place within a 24 hour time span; 2) the action should take place in one geographical place/setting; 3) the play should have one main plot and no sub-plots. Most of Shakespeare's plays ignore the "classical unities," but The Winter's Tale takes it a step further by having the figure Time appear on stage at the beginning of Act 4 to announce that Shakespeare is fast-forwarding sixteen years and changing the location from Sicily to Bohemia - if anyone has a problem, they should just get over it, please.Much of The Winter's Tale is based on Robert Greene's Pandosto, The Triumph of Time (published 1588), a pastoral romance about a jealous king who banishes his infant daughter and drives away his friend. Shakespeare also draws from the story of Pygmalion in Book 10 of Ovid's Metamorphoses.Over the years, there's been some speculation that The Winter's Tale is really about King Henry VIII's second wife, Anne Boleyn, who was beheaded after being (unfairly) accused and convicted of adultery in 1536.

Download or read book Shakespearean Romance written by Howard Felperin and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2015-03-08 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Shakespeare's last plays—Pericles, Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale, The Tempest, and Henry VIII—are to be neither debunked nor idealized but taken seriously on their own terms, they must be examined within the traditions and conventions of romance. Howard Felperin defines this relatively neglected literary mode and locates these plays within it. But, as he shows, romance was not simply an established genre in which Shakespeare worked at both the beginning and end of his career but a mode of perceiving the world that pervades and shapes his entire work. The last plays are examined to answer such questions as: How does Shakespeare raise to a higher power the conventions of romance available to him, particularly those of the native medieval drama? How does he bring us to accept these elements of romance? Above all, how does romance, the mode in which the imagination enjoys its freest expression, become the vehicle, not of beautiful, escapist fantasy but of moral truth? Originally published in 1972. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
