Download or read book Shakespeare s Reading Audiences written by Cyndia Susan Clegg and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2017-06-26 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study grows out of the intersection of two realms of scholarly investigation - the emerging public sphere in early modern England and the history of the book. Shakespeare's Reading Audiences examines the ways in which different communities - humanist, legal, religious and political - would have interpreted Shakespeare's plays and poems, whether printed or performed. Cyndia Susan Clegg begins by analysing elite reading clusters associated with the Court, the universities, and the Inns of Court and how their interpretation of Shakespeare's Sonnets and Henry V arose from their reading of Italian humanists. She concludes by examining how widely held public knowledge about English history both affected Richard II's reception and how such knowledge was appropriated by the State. She also considers The Merry Wives of Windsor, Henry V, and Othello from the point of view of audience members conversant in popular English legal writing and Macbeth from the perspective of popular English Calvinism.

Download or read book Hamlet written by William Shakespeare and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2011-08-23 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hamlet is Shakespeare's most popular, and most puzzling, play. It follows the form of a “revenge tragedy,” in which the hero, Hamlet, seeks vengeance against his father’s murderer, his uncle Claudius, now the king of Denmark. Much of its fascination, however, lies in its uncertainties. Among them: What is the Ghost—Hamlet's father demanding justice, a tempting demon, an angelic messenger? Does Hamlet go mad, or merely pretend to? Once he is sure that Claudius is a murderer, why does he not act? Was his mother, Gertrude, unfaithful to her husband or complicit in his murder?

Download or read book Native Shakespeares written by Parmita Kapadia and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explored in this essay collection is how Shakespeare is rewritten, reinscribed and translated to fit within the local tradition, values, and languages of the world's various communities and cultures. Contributors show that Shakespeare, regardless of the medium - theater, pedagogy, or literary studies - is commonly 'rooted' in the local customs of a people in ways that challenge the notion that his drama promotes a Western idealism. Native Shakespeares examines how the persistent indigenization of Shakespeare complicates the traditional vision of his work as a voice of Western culture and colonial hegemony. The international range of the collection and the focus on indigenous practices distinguishes Native Shakespeares from other available texts.

Download or read book William Shakespeare Hamlet written by Sydney Bolt and published by Penguin (Non-Classics). This book was released on 1990 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No English play has proved as consistently challenging, as open to re-interpretation or as probing in its exploration of conscience as Hamlet. For this critical study, Sydney Bolt isolates six significant factors of the play - the plot, stagecraft, speech, roles, themes and the nature of tragedy - and demonstrates how Shakepeare's use of them has given us some of the most profound and universal drama ever written. The play is then examined in its historical context and compared with other Elizabethan revenge tragedies. There is also a discussion of the meaning of tragedy, and Hamlet is reviewed in the light of both classical and contemporary theories. --
Download or read book Shakespeare for the wiser sort written by Steve Sohmer and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-30 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Shakespeare’s plays are riddled with passages, scenes and sudden plot twists which baffle and confound the most devoted playgoer and the most attentive commentator. Why, for example, didn’t Hamlet succeed to the throne of Denmark at the instant of his father’s death? (It’s not because the Danish throne was elective.) Why does Chorus in Romeo and Juliet promise his audience ‘two houres trafficke of our stage’ when the play obviously runs almost three hours? How is it that Old Hamlet sent his son to school in (Protestant) Wittenberg but his Ghost was sent to (Catholic) Purgatory? and is there cause-and-effect here? How can Lancelot Gobbo be correct (and he is) when he claims Black Monday (the day after Easter) and Ash Wednesday (the 41st day before Easter) once fell on the same day? And what is a ‘dram of eale’? This engaging and lucid book solves these tantalizing riddles and many others.
Download or read book Hamlet and Emotions written by Paul Megna and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume bears potent testimony, not only to the dense complexity of Hamlet’s emotional dynamics, but also to the enduring fascination that audiences, adaptors, and academics have with what may well be Shakespeare’s moodiest play. Its chapters explore emotion in Hamlet, as well as the myriad emotions surrounding Hamlet’s debts to the medieval past, its relationship to the cultural milieu in which it was produced, its celebrated performance history, and its profound impact beyond the early modern era. Its component chapters are not unified by a single methodological approach. Some deal with a single emotion in Hamlet, while others analyse the emotional trajectory of a single character, and still others focus on a given emotional expression (e.g., sighing or crying). Some bring modern methodologies for studying emotion to bear on Hamlet, others explore how Hamlet anticipates modern discourses on emotion, and still others ask how Hamlet itself can complicate and contribute to our current understanding of emotion.
