Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their feuding families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and, along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers. Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. Its plot is based on an Italian tale, translated into verse as The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562 and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1567. Shakespeare borrowed heavily from both but, to expand the plot, developed supporting characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris. Believed to have been written between 1591 and 1595, the play was first published in a quarto version in 1597. This text was of poor quality, and later editions corrected it, bringing it more in line with Shakespeare's original.

Book excerpt: What actions are justified when the fate of a nation hangs in the balance, and who can see the best path ahead? Julius Caesar has led Rome successfully in the war against Pompey and returns celebrated and beloved by the people. Yet in the senate fears intensify that his power may become supreme and threaten the welfare of the republic. A plot for his murder is hatched by Caius Cassius who persuades Marcus Brutus to support him. Though Brutus has doubts, he joins Cassius and helps organize a group of conspirators that assassinate Caesar on the Ides of March. But, what is the cost to a nation now erupting into civil war? A fascinating study of political power, the consequences of actions, the meaning of loyalty and the false motives that guide the actions of men, Julius Caesar is action packed theater at its finest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harley Granville-Barker S Prefaces To Shakespeare Originally Published In Five Series Between 1927 And 1947 Covering Ten Plays Are Collected In Four Volumes:Volume I (Hamlet), Volume Ii (King Lear, Cymbeline, Julius Caesar), Volume Iii (Antony And Cleopatra, Coriolanus) And Volume Iv (Love S Labour S Lost, Romeo And Juliet, The Merchant Of Venice, Othello).An Actor, Dramatist, Producer And A Profound Shakespearean Scholar, Granville-Barker Brought About A Revolution In His Shakespearean Productions In The First Decade Of The Twentieth Century By Recapturing, With His Experience And Expertise, The Spirit And Vitality Of The Plays As They Were Produced On The Elizabethan Stage. He Saw Shakespeare As A Man Of The Theatre And Gave A Lie To Lamb That The Plays Of Shakespeare Were Less Calculated For Performance On A Stage Than Those Of Any Dramatist Whatsoever. About The Productions G.B. Harrison Remarks That They Were The Most Important Productions For A Hundred Years Not Only Because They Were Beautiful In Themselves, But Because For The First Time Since The Seventeenth Century Shakespeare S Plays Were Played Just As They Were Written, And Not Cut And Rearranged To Suit The Scene-Shifter. The Prefaces Are Elaborate Explications Of What Shape The Productions, And How And Why Granville-Barker S Alert Attention To The Minutiae Of A Text And Threadbare Discussions Of Various Aspects Of The Plays Reveal The Dramatic Wealth Of A Shakespearean Play. The Prefaces With Their Focus On The Integrity And Vitality Of A Play Have Become A Landmark In Shakespearean Criticism. T.S. Eliot Has Rightly Remarked: Perhaps More Than Any Other Single Writer, H. Granville-Barker By His Prefaces, Illuminating The Plays With The Understanding Of The Producer, Has Suggested The Need For A Synthesis Of The Several Points Of View From Which Shakespeare Can Be Studied. Any Teacher And Student Of Shakespeare Will Find These Books Immensely Valuable.

Excerpt from book: JULIUS CSAR GENERAL QUESTIONS 1. To show the simplicity of the plot material, outline the action in one hundred words or less. 2. Give reasons for the play's comparative poverty in subtle analysis of character and motive and in poetic beauty. What is the influence, in this respect, of the . nobly simple, austere, and somewhat stiff personality of Brutus ? If Antony had been allowed to dominate and determine the tone of the play, how would the play have differed in effect ? It would not be entirely misleading to compare, in this connection, the wonderfully rich and various Antony and Cleopatra. Coriolanus also has a voluminous majesty and a sumptuous splendor which forbids the assertion that the simplicity of Julius Ccesar is due to the poet's estimate of the Roman type of mind. 3. What powers of the poet's mind are scarcely brought into play in this drama ? What powers are clearly in evidence ? ' 4. Try to define the exact nature of the pleasure you take 'in this play. Is it at all like the pleasure you take in any of the great tragedies or in any of the comedies ? ' ''' 5. Why is this play especially suited to the comprehen- /; sion of children and to the elementary type of mind among adults ? (This must not, of course, be understood to imply condemnation, unless we wish to include in that condemnation almost the entire tragic theater of the ancient world.) What scenes do you leave out of consideration in your answers to this and to the three preceding questions ? 6. Would you say that in this play the poet's powers of expression are in advance of his thought or thatjjiejr lag-Jbehind his thought? Or are thought and expression in a nearly perfect equipoise ? Select several passages in illustration. Compare A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Tempest in this ...
