Download or read book The Origins of English Tragedy written by J. M. R. Margeson and published by Oxford : Clarendon P. This book was released on 1967 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book makes a new assessment of the background of Elizabethan tragedy in order to show the importance of embryonic tragic situations, characters, and patterns of emotion in medieval and Tudor drama. It considers how these basic elements were later combined and shaped into effective dramatic forms by current ideas about the nature of tragic action. Tragedy on the Elizabethan stage was by no means a single or homogeneous phenomenon: this study examines the reasons for the appearance of several forms of tragedy at almost the same time. Its concentration upon a limited and well-documented period of stage history makes possible further insight into the nature of tragedy in general. -- from Book Jacket.

Download or read book Reading Robert Greene written by Darren Freebury-Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-06-15 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Greene holds a significant place in our understanding of Elizabethan literature. This book offers the most rigorous attempt yet undertaken to determine the scope of the playwright’s canon through analyses of Greene’s verse style, vocabulary, rhyming habits, and the dramatist’s phraseology in his attested plays and in comparison to four plays that have long been on the margins of Greene’s corpus: Locrine, Selimus, George a Greene, and A Knack to Know a Knave. The book defines the ranges for Greene’s stylistic habits for the very first time and proceeds to identify parallels of thought, language, and overall dramaturgy that reveal a single author’s creative consciousness. This volume also casts light on Greene as a more collaborative dramatist than has hitherto been acknowledged. Through emphasizing the immediate surroundings in which Greene was writing – the flourishing of popular theatres in two compact areas of London, in which each theatre company and their dra-matists kept a close eye on what their competitors were producing – Greene emerges as an influential playwright, whose restored oeuvre enables us to establish new ways in which his dramatic methods impacted other writers of the period, including Shakespeare.
Download or read book Shakespeare s borrowed feathers written by Darren Freebury-Jones and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2024-10-08 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating book exploring the early modern authors who helped to shape Shakespeare’s beloved plays. Shakespeare’s plays have influenced generations of writers, but who were the early modern playwrights who influenced him? Using the latest techniques in textual analysis Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers a fresh look at William Shakespeare and reveals the influence of a community of playwrights that shaped his work. This compelling book argues that we need to see early modern drama as a communal enterprise, with playwrights borrowing from and adapting one another's work. From John Lyly's wit to the collaborative genius of John Fletcher, to Christopher Marlowe and Ben Jonson, Shakespeare's borrowed feathers offers fresh insights into Shakespeare’s artistic development and shows us new ways of looking at the masterpieces that have enchanted audiences for centuries.

Download or read book Shakespeare and the Book Trade written by Lukas Erne and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shakespeare and the Book Trade follows on from Lukas Erne's groundbreaking Shakespeare as Literary Dramatist to examine the publication, constitution, dissemination and reception of Shakespeare's printed plays and poems in his own time and to argue that their popularity in the book trade has been greatly underestimated. Erne uses evidence from Shakespeare's publishers and the printed works to show that in the final years of the sixteenth century and the early part of the seventeenth century, 'Shakespeare' became a name from which money could be made, a book trade commodity in which publishers had significant investments and an author who was bought, read, excerpted and collected on a surprising scale. Erne argues that Shakespeare, far from indifferent to his popularity in print, was an interested and complicit witness to his rise as a print-published author. Thanks to the book trade, Shakespeare's authorial ambition started to become bibliographic reality during his lifetime.
