Download or read book Shakespeare s Montaigne written by Michel de Montaigne and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An NYRB Classics Original Shakespeare, Nietzsche wrote, was Montaigne’s best reader—a typically brilliant Nietzschean insight, capturing the intimate relationship between Montaigne’s ever-changing record of the self and Shakespeare’s kaleidoscopic register of human character. And there is no doubt that Shakespeare read Montaigne—though how extensively remains a matter of debate—and that the translation he read him in was that of John Florio, a fascinating polymath, man-about-town, and dazzlingly inventive writer himself. Florio’s Montaigne is in fact one of the masterpieces of English prose, with a stylistic range and felicity and passages of deep lingering music that make it comparable to Sir Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy and the works of Sir Thomas Browne. This new edition of this seminal work, edited by Stephen Greenblatt and Peter G. Platt, features an adroitly modernized text, an essay in which Greenblatt discusses both the resemblances and real tensions between Montaigne’s and Shakespeare’s visions of the world, and Platt’s introduction to the life and times of the extraordinary Florio. Altogether, this book provides a remarkable new experience of not just two but three great writers who ushered in the modern world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare Not Bacon: Some Arguments From Shakespeare's Copy of Florio's Montaigne in the British Museum If Shakespeare's reputation was dear to these two fellow-actors, to whose reverence for the dead we are indebted for seventeen plays which probably would not otherwise have been preserved to us, so surely ought it to be to anyone who has experienced that delight in his works of which they speak above. That reputation has been assailed by a body of men and women who persistently assert that Bacon was the author of the plays. Their enthusiasm and energy have produced a whole literature: indeed there are now between sixty or seventy items under the heading Bacon Controversy in the Catalogue of the British Museum. Their main argument runs somewhat on these lines - The plays show wide learning. William Shakespeare the actor, with his education and opportunities, could never have acquired that learning. We find it in Bacon's works. There fore Bacon was the author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Montaigne and Shakespeare: And Other Essays on Cognate Questions Of the following essays, the first originally appeared as a series of magazine articles in 1896, and thereafter, revised and expanded, as a separate volume in 1897. That having been for years out of print, the essay is now again revised and considerably expanded, the thesis being strengthened by new parallels; while there is raised a fresh problem of some little interest, as to a point of apparent intellectual contact between Shakespeare and Bacon - not, of course, in the sense of the current Bacon-Shakespeare theorem. The paper on "The Originality of Shakespeare" discusses and answers a number of the criticisms passed on the first essay in 1897-98, and appeared as a magazine article.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Montaigne and Shakspere For a good many years past the anatomic study of Shakspere, of which a revival seems now on foot, has been somewhat out of fashion, as compared with its vogue in the palmy days of the New Shakspere Society in England, and the years of the battle between the iconoclasts and the worshipers in Germany. When Mr. Fleay and Mr. Spedding were hard at work on the metrical tests; when Mr. Spedding was subtly undoing the chronological psychology of Dr. Furnivall; when the latter student was on his part undoing in quite another style some of the judgments of Mr. Swinburne; and when Mr. Halliwell-Phillipps was with natural wrath calling on Mr. Browning, as President of the Society; to keep Dr. Furnivall in order, we (then) younger onlookers felt that literary history was verily being made.

Download or read book Shakspere and Montaigne written by Jacob Feis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakspere and Montaigne: An Endeavour to Explain the Tendency of 'Hamlet' From Allusions in Contemporary Works IT has always been a daring venture to attempt find ing out Shakspere's individuality, and the range of his philosophical and political ideas, from his poetical produc tions. We come nearest to his feelings in his Sonnets but only a few heavy sighs, as it were, from a time of anguish in his life can be heard therefrom. All the rest of those lyrical effusions, in spite of the zealous exertions of commentators full of delicate sentiment and of deep thought, remain an unsolved secret. In his historical dramas, a political creed has been pointed out, Which, with some degree of certainty, may be held to have been his. From his other dramas, the most varied evidence has been drawn. A perfect maze of contradictions has been read out of them so much so that, on this ground, we might almost despair of trustworthy results from further inquiry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Collectanea, Second Series: Montaigne, Webster, and Marston, Donne and Webster, And, the Bacon-Shakespeare Question I take no delight in proving that Webster was a wholesale borrower of the good things in other men's work, and could wish that my present task were con fined to showing up the plagiary of Marston or of some other author whose work I am too dull to ap preciate at its proper value. Webster generally puts what he borrows to noble uses; but Marston is one of those men of whom Ben Jonson said that they are born only to suck out the poison of books. If Webster sows vice, he sows it with the hand, but Marston scatters it broadcast and with the basket. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Was the Shakespeare After All a Myth Judging from that and the deep philosophy of the whole piece (always excepting the Shakespearian blot upon it), it must have been the creation of an educated man, which Shakespeare was not. It is probably a partnership concern. The only man of that day, of poetical power sufficient to write the higher parts of this tragedy, was ben jonson, the greatest Dramatic Poet England ever produced. Langhorne, in his preface to Plutarch, referring to the time of Shakespeare, says - The celebrated soliloquy 'to be, or not to be, ' is taken almost verbatim from that philosopher (plato); yet we have never found that Plato was translated in those times.

Download or read book Montaigne written by Richard Warwick Bond and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-04 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Montaigne: A Study Montaigne is one of those perennial sources of mental health which there needs no excuse for returning. He is always necessary and always being rediscovered. Perhaps his grand sincerity, fullness, and truth of matter, his absolute freedom from affectation of manner, are of special cathartic value for an age in which these qualities are not conspicuous. Perhaps Montaigne with his hatred for the lie, his detestation of show and sham, his fearless frankness, might help us to a quicker instinct for honesty, a readier detection of the vulpine and the vain. Even if we must echo with a sigh his own doubt whether true opinions are always the most convenient for man, yet never was it well with him who consciously withheld his worship from that altar - few are they who will not profit by sharing Montaigne's noble passion for the truth.

Download or read book Montaigne and the Art of Free thinking written by Richard Scholar and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We know a great deal of what Michel de Montaigne (1533-92), Shakespeare's near-contemporary and fellow literary mastermind, thinks. We know, because he tells us on page after page of his Essais, which have marked literature and thought since the European Renaissance and remain to this day compelling reading. It might seem surprising, with this wealth of evidence at hand, that Montaigne could prove so elusive in his thinking. Yet elusive he proves, as volatile as he is voluble. What, we are left wondering, does all that thinking amount to? How is it to be understood? And what value might it have for us? Montaigne has too often seen his thinking reduced to the expression of an '-ism'. Richard Scholar investigates the nature - and detail - of Montaigne's evolving attempts to seek out that elusive thing called truth. Examining at close quarters passages from across the Essais, Scholar provides twenty-first-century readers with a companion guide to a text that is rooted in the time and place of its composition and yet continues to speak to the present, to haunt its readers, to ask them the questions that matter.
