Shakespeare and the Medieval World
Helen Cooper, Helen Cooper
Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, The Arden Critical Companions, London, United Kingdom, 2014-09-26
Helen Cooper's unique study examines how continuations of medieval culture into the early modern period, forged Shakespeare's development as a dramatist and poet. Medieval culture pervaded his life and work, from his childhood, spent within reach of the last performances of the Coventry Corpus Christi plays, to his dramatisation of Chaucer in The Two Noble Kinsmen three years before his death. The world he lived in was still largely a medieval one, in its topography and its institutions. The language he spoke had been forged over the centuries since the Norman Conquest. The genres in which he wrote, not least historical tragedy, love-comedy and romance, were medieval inventions. A high proportion of his plays have medieval origins and he kept returning to Chaucer, acknowledged as the greatest poet in the English language. Above all, he grew up with an English tradition of drama developed during the Middle Ages that assumed that it was possible to stage anything - all time, all space. Shakespeare and the Medieval World provides a panoramic overview that opens up new vistas within his work and uncovers the richness of his inheritance.

The Comedies with Introductions by Judith Buchanan These Comedies are among the best loved of Shakespeare's plays. In each a problem emerges, is then intensified to a point of maximum confusion and potential upset, before the chaos is resolved, however improbably, into general goodwill and a spate of marriages. The triumph of these plays lies in the way they mingle humorous stage business and dexterous word play with a more serious study of identity, gender, dreaming, the meaning of love, even of the theatre itself. They reassure us that with all its faults, the world will always in the end be redeemable. The Tragedies with Introductions by Emma Smith 'Not for an age but for all time.' So Ben Jonson established what we now take for granted: Shakespeare's unique place among the world's great authors. Romeo and Juliet shows us the archetypal story of fated young love; Hamlet, the tortured psyche of the young prince of Denmark; Othello, a strikingly modern representation of racial difference; King Lear, a man stripped of all material and psychological comforts; and Macbeth, a dark investigation of the origins and effects of, evil. The plays throw a fascinating light on the concerns of Shakespeare's day, yet offer perennial insights into the nature of human emotion.

Reinventing Shakespeare : a cultural history, from the Restoration to the present
Taylor, Gary, 1953-
Weidenfeld & Nicolson; Grove/Atlantic, Incorporated, 1st ed., New York, New York State, 1989
<p>As an actor, William Shakespeare reinvented himself almost every day. At the height of his career, he often performed in six different plays on six consecutive days. He stopped reinventing himself when he died on April 23, 1616, but, as Gary Taylor tells us in this bold, provocative, irreverent history of Shakespeare's reputation through the ages, we have been reinventing him ever since.<br> Taylor, who sparked a worldwide controversy in 1985 by announcing his discovery of a "new" Shakespeare poem "Shall I die?," presents a brilliantly argued, wryly humorous discussion of the ways in which society "reinvents" Shakespeare—and to some extent all great literature—to suit its own ends. He reveals how Shakespeare's reputation has benefited from such diverse and unpredictable factors as the dearth of new plays after the Restoration; the decline of tragedy in the eighteenth century, when, as Taylor puts it, "Shakespeare was kept on the menu because he was the only serious dish [the repertoire companies] knew how to cook"; the changing social status of women in the nineteenth century; England's longstanding rivalry with France, which turned Shakespeare into the great advocate of conservative British values; and the current trend in academia toward shockingly unorthodox views, which has turned Shakespeare into the great ally of radical Marxist and feminist critics.<br> Through the centuries, critics have cited the same Shakespeare—often the very same play—as the supporter of a vast array of world views. Examining each period's method of invoking the Bard's "greatness" to support a series of conflicting values, Taylor questions what actually constitutes greatness. He insists on examining the criteria of each epoch on its own terms in order to demonstrate how literary criticism can often become the most telling form of social commentary. <b>Reinventing Shakespeare</b> offers nothing less than a major reevaluation of Shakespeare, his writing, his place in world history, and the very bases of aesthetic judgment.</p> <p>In an irreverent and provocative history of Shakespeare's reputation through the ages, Gary Taylor presents a brilliantly argued discussion of the ways in which society "reinvents" Shakespeare as the supporter of a vast array of world views, from conservative to unorthodox to radical and feminist perspectives. "Fascinating."--The New York Times. </p>

Reinventing Shakespeare : a cultural history, from the Restoration to the present
Taylor, Gary, 1953-
Weidenfeld & Nicolson; Grove/Atlantic, Incorporated, 1st ed., New York, New York State, 1989
<p>As an actor, William Shakespeare reinvented himself almost every day. At the height of his career, he often performed in six different plays on six consecutive days. He stopped reinventing himself when he died on April 23, 1616, but, as Gary Taylor tells us in this bold, provocative, irreverent history of Shakespeare's reputation through the ages, we have been reinventing him ever since.<br> Taylor, who sparked a worldwide controversy in 1985 by announcing his discovery of a "new" Shakespeare poem "Shall I die?," presents a brilliantly argued, wryly humorous discussion of the ways in which society "reinvents" Shakespeare—and to some extent all great literature—to suit its own ends. He reveals how Shakespeare's reputation has benefited from such diverse and unpredictable factors as the dearth of new plays after the Restoration; the decline of tragedy in the eighteenth century, when, as Taylor puts it, "Shakespeare was kept on the menu because he was the only serious dish [the repertoire companies] knew how to cook"; the changing social status of women in the nineteenth century; England's longstanding rivalry with France, which turned Shakespeare into the great advocate of conservative British values; and the current trend in academia toward shockingly unorthodox views, which has turned Shakespeare into the great ally of radical Marxist and feminist critics.<br> Through the centuries, critics have cited the same Shakespeare—often the very same play—as the supporter of a vast array of world views. Examining each period's method of invoking the Bard's "greatness" to support a series of conflicting values, Taylor questions what actually constitutes greatness. He insists on examining the criteria of each epoch on its own terms in order to demonstrate how literary criticism can often become the most telling form of social commentary. <b>Reinventing Shakespeare</b> offers nothing less than a major reevaluation of Shakespeare, his writing, his place in world history, and the very bases of aesthetic judgment.</p> <p>In an irreverent and provocative history of Shakespeare's reputation through the ages, Gary Taylor presents a brilliantly argued discussion of the ways in which society "reinvents" Shakespeare as the supporter of a vast array of world views, from conservative to unorthodox to radical and feminist perspectives. "Fascinating."--The New York Times. </p>

Shakespeare's Philosophy Of History Revealed In Detailed Analysis Of Henry V And Examined In Other History Plays (studies In Renaissance Literature, V. 25)
Ronald A. Rebholz
The E. Mellen Press, Studies in Renaissance literature ;, v. 25, Lewiston, N.Y, New York State, 2003
The notion that "new" worlds of post-revolutionary political realities are inevitably degradations of earlier eras is ubiquitous in English drama of the period, but perhaps most strikingly evident in Shakespeare's Henry V , argues Rebholz (English, Stanford U.). He explores this theme in the play, comparing it with other English history plays written before 1600 and relating it to developments in late Elizabethan and early Jacobean political ideologies of war and government. He also addresses issues of historical causality and attempts to reconcile the longstanding problem of Henry's contending voices (from the work of Norman Rabkin) within a single framework.

Brick Shakespeare. The tragedies : : Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Julius Caesar
Jack Hollan, John McCann, Monica Sweeney, Gebrüder Grimm [Brothers Grimm], Becky Thomas
Skyhorse Publishing Company, Incorporated; Skyhorse Publishing, Simon & Schuster, New York, 2013
Enjoy four of Shakespeare's tragedies told with LEGO bricks. Here are Hamlet, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, and Julius Caesar enacted scene by scene, captioned by excerpts from the plays. Flip through one thousand color photographs as you enjoy Shakespeare's iconic poetry and marvel at what can be done with the world's most popular children's toy.Watch the brick Hamlet give his famous “To be or not to be” soliloquy, and feel brick Ophelia's grief as she meets her watery end. Lady Macbeth in brick form brings new terror to “Out, out, damn spot!” and brick Romeo and Juliet are no less star-crossed for being rectangular and plastic. The warm familiarity of bricks lends levity to Shakespeare's tragedies while remaining true to his original language.The ideal book for Shakespeare enthusiasts, as well as a fun way to introduce children to Shakespeare's masterpieces, this book employs Shakespeare's original, characteristic language in abridged form. Though the language stays true to its origins, the unique format of these well-known tragedies will give readers a new way to enjoy one of the most popular playwrights in history.

Four Great Comedies: The Taming of the Shrew; A Midsummer Night's Dream; Twelfth Night; The Tempest (Signet Classics)
William Shakespeare; Sylvan Barnet
Signet Classics, Signet classics Shakespeare, Revised edition, New York, 1998
"Comedies," as one of Shakespeare's contemporaries wrote, 'begin in trouble and end in peace." This is certainly true of the four masterworks selected for this collection--The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and The Tempest--each of which represents a significant stage in the development of the world's greatest dramatist. Reading these plays, we sample the whole comic spectrum of the Elizabethan world--from the satiric comes that portrays a world of people whose unreasonable behavior is ludicrous and in need of reform to the romantic comedy that takes us into a dreamlike holiday world whose inhabitants, for all their folly, are still endearing characters. And to give these plays more meaning for the modern reader, this edition includes the following special features: An Introduction by Sylvan Barnet, general editor of the Signet Classic Shakespeare series Reliable texts by noted Shakespeare scholars Texts printed in the clearest, most readable type Name of each speaker given in full Detailed footnotes at the bottom of each page keyed to the numbered lines of the text Textual notes Updated bibliography --back cover
