Download or read book A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare written by James Shapiro and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 620 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize’s 25th Anniversary Winner of Winners award What accounts for Shakespeare’s transformation from talented poet and playwright to one of the greatest writers who ever lived? In this gripping account, James Shapiro sets out to answer this question, "succeed[ing] where others have fallen short." (Boston Globe) 1599 was an epochal year for Shakespeare and England. During that year, Shakespeare wrote four of his most famous plays: Henry the Fifth, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and, most remarkably, Hamlet; Elizabethans sent off an army to crush an Irish rebellion, weathered an Armada threat from Spain, gambled on a fledgling East India Company, and waited to see who would succeed their aging and childless queen. James Shapiro illuminates both Shakespeare’s staggering achievement and what Elizabethans experienced in the course of 1599, bringing together the news and the intrigue of the times with a wonderful evocation of how Shakespeare worked as an actor, businessman, and playwright. The result is an exceptionally immediate and gripping account of an inspiring moment in history.

No one who has attended closely to the progress of editorial labour on these writings, from the time of Rowe, who first undertook to revise the ancient text, can doubt that this has often been done. Indeed, unthinking people who have felt themselves offended by a misjudgment of a modern editor, have said, Give as the old editions. This is going too far but the modern editors require to be themselves subjected to editorial revision, and thus again the editorial labour bestowed on these writings becomes mul tiplied.

Nay, never paint me now; Where fair is not, praise cannot mend the brow: Here, good my glass, take this for telling true: Fair payment for foul words is more than dne. While saying this she slips money into his hand. The abashed forester, who had meant nothing less than to have become the lady's looking-glass to reflect any thing but what was agreeable, repeats his assurance that he had the most exalted opinion of her perfections, " Nothing but fair is that which you inherit." When the Princess affects again to misunderstand him, and she now attributes the compliment paid to her to the gratuity she had just bestowed upon him, as if it were purchased by her: See, see, my beauty will be saved by merit: where " merit" is used in its theological sense, as acts of charity were by some spoken of as meritorious, efficacious to salvation. All this may be thought so clear as not to require these illustrative remarks, but it is evident by the note that Dr. Johnson had not a just conception of the sense of the passage: and it may not be equally clear that we have a continuation of the theological allusion in what follows: Now Mercy goes to kill. Where " Mercy" is a kind of personification. " Now Mercy goes to kill f that is, I, in whom Mercy, a form of charity, has been so eminently displayed that it has actually saved my beauty, am now going to commit acts of slaughter on these poor innocent deer. We have now done with the Forester, and we have some of Shakespeare's kindliest philosophy in the remainder of the Princess's speech. If she misses in the shooting, it is that pity moved her; if she wounds, being, as she is, Mercy personified, it is not to pain the sufferer, but to gain praise and glory for herself, on which Shakespeare builds this just...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handsomely illustrated biography provides a dramatic, human view of Shakespeare as he lived his life.

Included in the 114 illustrations—many of them taken from sixteenth- and seventeenth-century originals—are two authentic portraits of Shakespeare. Pictures of the houses in which he lived, the theatres in which he acted, the other actors with whom he worked, and the faces of many people who knew him and wrote about him—all add a sense of immediacy to the biographical narrative and make Shakespeare come alive within the context of his own age.

Download or read book Selling Shakespeare written by Adam G. Hooks and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selling Shakespeare tells a story of Shakespeare's life and career in print, a story centered on the people who created, bought, and sold books in the early modern period. The interests and investments of publishers and booksellers have defined our ideas of what is 'Shakespearean', and attending to their interests demonstrates how one version of Shakespearean authorship surpassed the rest. In this book, Adam G. Hooks identifies and examines four pivotal episodes in Shakespeare's life in print: the debut of his narrative poems, the appearance of a series of best-selling plays, the publication of collected editions of his works, and the cataloguing of those works. Hooks also offers a new kind of biographical investigation and historicist criticism, one based not on external life documents, nor on the texts of Shakespeare's works, but on the books that were printed, published, sold, circulated, collected, and catalogued under his name.
