A Fight to the Death, in Shakespearean Verse! (Now joined by the author's audiobook narrations) It's an age-old struggle-between the divine power of angels and prophets, and the earthly power of presidents and kings. It was exemplified in Elijah's challenge to King Ahab and Queen Jezebel in ancient Israel, and today finds its literary voice in poet and author, A LeRoy. Hailed as "an exemplar of epic poetry" (San Francisco Review of Books), LeRoy dreams up otherworldly realms where angels battle, mythical creatures awake, and God speaks as rushing waters. This three-book series begins with his visionary epic poem, Obama's Dream, followed by the central work, Elijah, where LeRoy reimagines the ministry and miracles of the great Old-Testament prophet, also as an epic poem. Finally, we hear from Elijah's main antagonist, Queen Jezebel, in Jezebel's Lament. (In the words of one reviewer, this collection contains some "naughty bits." If you're looking for 'PG' stories with otherworldly visions, you'll find them in the author's Christian Reveries Collection). Detailed descriptions of the three books follow: 1. Obama's Dream Obama's dreams are troubled, for he is about to hand over imperial power to one Donald J. Trump. But two great angels enter on a divine mission to save his soul, and with it, all of humanity. A journey of revelation follows, even to the throne of God. Does Obama heed Heaven's message? You decide! "This is the fourth book by LeRoy that I've reviewed, and hands down, uncontested, it is far and away the most hilarious... immensely entertaining, well researched, creative, thought-out, and delivered." William Mortensen Vaughan 2. Elijah Israel. 9th-century BC. Jezebel has killed the true prophets of the Lord, and Elijah must flee her wrath. But he is not alone. Embraced by a shapeshifting goddess, counseled by a great angel, he is empowered to call down fire from Heaven! This 12-part epic relives the spectacular miracles of the great prophet as described in the Old Testament-raising the dead, commanding the rain, calling down fire from Heaven, while weaving a rich thread of mythological themes. Raunchy yet reverent, this visionary tale takes wing in the poet's pen, the poet's voice! "Fun, interesting, and entertaining, with elements of a heroic quest, pure fantasy, and sexy romance." Karen Siddall "The telling was riveting, and you don't need to know the story ahead of time to be moved by it." Kit Donner 3. Jezebel's Lament Jezebel. Yes, that Jezebel. The queen whose name for millennia has stood for female wickedness. Killer of innocents. Seducer of priests. And the Old Testament's greatest supervillain! Not so fast, says Jezebel herself. Mad as hell at the reputation history has dealt her, she enlists "a failed writer of obscure poetry and other works no-one cares to read" to tell her side of the story. Not "harlot queen", she insists, but "virgin bride", not murderer but moderate, and certainly not the bad guy in her struggle with the prophet Elijah, that "unkempt fire-and-brimstone hairy hermit", and his successor Elisha. It's a riveting and saucy yarn, weaving invention around Scripture's narrative, while offering compelling insights into the "monsters" who live, and even rule, among us! Let this royal rant transport you to one of the Bible's greatest showdowns, and into the mind of a great antagonist. "An epic tale, Biblically based, but with considerable writer's freedom that makes the book wholly entertaining." San Francisco Review of Books

When decorated Moorish general Othello appoints Cassio as his chief lieutenant, Iago gets jealous and plots revenge, alleging that Othello's wife, a much younger white woman, is having an affair with Cassio. In many ways, Shakespeare's Othello remains a potent expression of race and racism three-hundred years after its publication. This volume offers compelling interpretations of the actions and the characters that have made this play so controversial. Essays discuss the question of Othello's color, the contradictory notions of black and white in the play, sexuality and racial difference, and whether Desdemona's marriage to Othello incites racism. Contributors include Ania Loomba, Peter Ackroyd, and Doris Adler.

In telling the story of Shakespeare's life and work within strict limits of space, an attempt has been made to keep closely to essential matters. There is no period of the poet's life, there is no branch of his marvellous work, that has not been the subject of long and learned volumes, no single play that has not been discussed at greater length than serves here to cover the chief incidents of work and life together. If the Homes and Haunts do not claim the greater part of the following pages, it is because nobody knows where to find them to-day. Stratford derives much of its patronage from unsupported traditions and the face of London has changed.

We celebrate Shakespeare as a creator of plays and poems, characters and ideas, words and worlds. But so too, in the four centuries since his death in 1616, have thinkers, writers, artists and performers recreated him. Readers of this book are invited to explore Shakespeare's afterlife on the stage and on the screen, in poetry, fiction, music and dance, as well as in cultural and intellectual life. A series of concise introductory essays are here combined with personal reflections by prominent contemporary practitioners of the arts. At once a celebration and a critical response, the book explores Shakespeare as a global cultural figure who continues to engage artists, audiences and readers of all kinds.

Shakespeare through Islamic Worlds investigates the peculiar absence of Islam and Muslims from Shakespeare’s canon. While many of Shakespeare’s plays were set in the Mediterranean, a geography occupied by Muslim empires and cultures, his work eschews direct engagement with the religion and its people. This erasure is striking given the popularity of this topic in the plays of Shakespeare’s contemporaries. By exploring the limited ways in which Shakespeare uses Islamic and Muslim tropes and topoi, Ambereen Dadabhoy argues that Islam and Muslim cultures function as an alternate or shadow text in his works, ranging from his staged Mediterranean plays to his histories and comedies. By consigning the diverse cultures of the Islamic regimes that occupied and populated the early modern Mediterranean, Shakespeare constructs a Europe and Mediterranean freed from the presence of non-white, non-European, and non-Christian Others, which belied the reality of the world in which he lived. Focusing on the Muslims at the margins of Shakespeare’s works, Dadabhoy reveals that Islam and its cultures informed the plots, themes, and intellectual investments of Shakespeare’s plays. She puts Islam and Muslims back into the geographies and stories from which Shakespeare had evacuated them. This innovative book will be of interest to all those working on race, religion, global and cultural exchange within Shakespeare, as well as people working on Islamic, Mediterranean, and Asian studies in literature and the early modern period.

This volume explores the multiple connections between the two most canonical authors in English, Jane Austen and William Shakespeare. The collection reflects on the historical, literary, critical and filmic links between the authors and their fates. Considering the implications of the popular cult of Austen and Shakespeare, the essays are interdisciplinary and comparative: ranging from Austen’s and Shakespeare’s biographies to their presence in the modern vampire saga Twilight, passing by Shakespearean echoes in Austen’s novels and the authors’ afterlives on the improv stage, in wartime cinema, modern biopics and crime fiction. The volume concludes with an account of the Exhibition “Will & Jane” at the Folger Shakespeare Library, which literally brought the two authors together in the autumn of 2016. Collectively, the essays mark and celebrate what we have called the long-standing “love affair” between William Shakespeare and Jane Austen—over 200 years and counting.
