Download or read book Shakespeare s Heroines on the Stage Classic Reprint written by Charles E. L. Wingate and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Heroines on the Stage In so far as it is a literary sin to attempt the writing of any bit of history in a brief and anecdotical vein, I cry Peccavi. But what would you? To obtain simply the foundation for this book required patience-trying researches among dust-covered shelves where rested antique play-bills and moth-eaten records. To produce the much desired, but as yet unexisting, "Complete History of Shakespeare on the Stage," would necessitate the patience of Job and the age of Methuselah. I have not the one, nor can I reasonably expect the other. And even if I had both gifts, I should not ask my friends, the gentle readers, to emulate the man of sorrows in mentally struggling through such a ponderous work. For their sakes I have made this book as short as I could; I hope none will wish it were shorter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The single exception I have made is to Show the use Of the device of discovery.

Download or read book Burbage and Shakespeare s Stage Classic Reprint written by Mrs. C. C. Stopes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burbage and Shakespeare's Stage HE Lives of the Burbages ought to have been written long since by others. For many years I have desired to do this work, and published instalments in The Fort nightly and the Athenaeum, 1909, but the decision of the Shakespeare League to raise a Memorial to them in Shoreditch, determined me to do so at once, in order to help that Memorial Scheme. Therefore the collection, arrangement and publica tion of my materials, have at the last been rather more hurried than I would have liked, and some details may have been left in a state of comparative incompleteness which more leisure would have remedied. I would have liked to have said some thing oi the lives of other contemporaries, such as Edward Alleyn, who was Esquire made, and Ben Jonson, who eriti cized and praised Shakespeare; and to have aired some of my theories regarding the dramatic history of the time. But I did not wish, by presenting too many interesting people in the background, to distract my readers' attention from the central figures, or to divert their thoughts from the facts pre sented, to any discussion of my views. I may now, however, make some trifling suggestions regard ing the facts on which I have so long dwelt. It may be noticed, by those who read my Note 28, the list of the performances for 80 years of the Burbage Company, that there is a gap during which they do not perform at court, i.e., between 1563 and 1572. This may have arisen from lack of business quali ties in the manager. It is quite possible that Burbage was only an ordinary member of the Company at its commencement.

Download or read book Shakespeare in the Theatre Classic Reprint written by William Poel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare in the Theatre Tanical opponents, whose incessant taunts were, Behold the sumptuous theatre houses, a continual monument of London's prodigality and folly. The interior of an Elizabethan playhouse must have pre sented an unusually picturesque scene, with its mass of colouring in the costume of the spectators; while the actors, moving, as it were, on the same plane as the audience, and hating attention so closely and exclusively directed to them, were of necessity ap propriately and brilliantly attired. We hear much from the superficial student about the board being hung up chalked with the words, 'this is a waod, ' when the action of the play took place in a But this is an impression apparently founded upon Sir Philip Sidney's words in his Apology of Poetry, written about 1583 What child is there that, coming to a play and seeing Thebes written in great letters on an old door, doth believe that it is Thebes And whether these words were chalked upon the outside door of the building admitting to the auditorium, or whether they appeared ex hibited to the eye of the audience on the stage door of the tiring-room is not made clear, but this is certain, that there is no direct evidence yet forth coming to prove that boards were ever used in any of Shakespeare's dramas or in those of Ben Jonson; and, with some other dramatists, there is evidence of the name of the play and its locality being shown in writing, either by the prologue, or hung up on one of the posts of the auditorium. Shakespeare himself considered it to be the business of the dramatist to describe the scene, and to call the atten tion of the audience to each change in locality, and moreover he does this so skilfully as to make his.

And he wants to know because the answer to this inquiry may solve the problems of staging stated or implied in the text. In spite of the fact that these plays have been performed on almost every known type of stage during the last three hundred and fifty years, isn't it possible that only on the stage for which they were written can their uninterrupted tempo and certitude of performance be realized?

The quarto of 1600 was, on the whole, well printed; and no other edition Of the play is known to have been issued previous to the publicationof the Folio of 1623. The printers of the latter appear to have used a copy Of the quarto belonging to the library of the theatre and corrected for the purposes Of the stage; but the changes are for the most part very slight and seldom for the better, as will be seen by our Afofes below.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Plays: A Chapter of Stage History, an Essay on the Shakesperian Drama The title of this paper, I trust, fairly indicates the subject proposed. It does not treat of Shake speare personally; nor of his plays, described simply with reference to himself. There is no attempt to show how the plays became what they are; I simply take them as they stand, and try to show what has been done with them since they came from the mind of the poet. I want to tell something of the condi tions under which they have been presented during a long series of years; for although Shakespeare is so much more to us than a mere writer of stage plays, I dare assert that now, as in his own day, the theatre is his proper and most natural home. He may be studied and dearly prized in all places but to know Shakespeare in his fulness, without the agency of the stage, is, to my mind, as impossible as to taste the magical charm of snowy peaks and glaciers only from poring over books of science at home.
