This book examines six plays by Shakespeare (Love's Labour's Lost, Hamlet, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, The Winter's Tale, and The Tempest) as dramatizations of the Renaissance court in its developing history - a history searched by Shakespeare to disclose its most characteristic gains and losses. For these plays do not simply celebrate Tudor and Stuart rule: they scrutinize it too, in the centre of its institutional theatre of power, the court. This book shows how, if the plays came into the court, the court also came into the plays, with its most salient features - its competitiveness, its inner tensions and its contradictions, its language, its cultural life and its entertainments - exposed to the scrutiny of an art-form that proved itself to be a new mode of historical understanding.

The question of who wrote Shakespeare’s plays has been the subject of furious debate among scholars for over 150 years. Everything known about the facts of William Shakespeare’s life seems incompatible with the extraordinary genius of his writing. How could a man who left school at the age of 13, and apparently never travelled abroad have authored the incomparable Sonnets or so intricately described Renaissance Venice? Shakespeare ‘candidates’ abound, among them Sir Francis Bacon, The Earl of Oxford, even Queen Elizabeth I herself, but none have stood up to serious scrutiny. Until now.... This remarkable, intriguing, and provocative book offers a completely plausible new candidate; Sir Henry Neville.

Love's Labour's Lost is one of William Shakespeare's early comedies, believed to have been written in the mid-1590s for a performance at the Inns of Court before Queen Elizabeth I. It follows the King of Navarre and his three companions as they attempt to forswear the company of women for three years of study and fasting, and their subsequent infatuation with the Princess of Aquitaine and her ladies. In an untraditional ending for a comedy, the play closes with the death of the Princess's father, and all weddings are delayed for a year. The play draws on themes of masculine love and desire, reckoning and rationalization, and reality versus fantasy.

The authoritative edition Love’s Labor’s Lost from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers. At first glance, Shakespeare’s early comedy Love’s Labor’s Lost simply entertains and amuses. Four young men (one of them a king) withdraw from the world for three years, taking an oath that they will have nothing to do with women. The King of Navarre soon learns, however, that the Princess of France and her ladies are about to arrive. Although he lodges them outside of his court, all four men fall in love with the ladies, abandoning their oaths and setting out to win their hands. The laughter triggered by this story is augmented by subplots involving a braggart soldier, a clever page, illiterate servants, a parson, a schoolmaster, and a constable so dull that he is named Dull. Letters and poems are misdelivered, confessions are overheard, entertainments are presented, and language is played with, and misused, by the ignorant and learned alike. At a deeper level, Love’s Labor’s Lost also teases the mind. The men begin with the premise that women either are seductresses or goddesses. The play soon makes it clear, however, that the reality of male-female relations is different. That women are not identical to men’s images of them is a common theme in Shakespeare’s plays. In Love’s Labor’s Lost it receives one of its most pressing examinations. This edition includes: -Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play -Full explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play -Scene-by-scene plot summaries -A key to the play’s famous lines and phrases -An introduction to reading Shakespeare’s language -An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play -Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library’s vast holdings of rare books -An annotated guide to further reading Essay by William C. Carroll The Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is home to the world’s largest collection of Shakespeare’s printed works, and a magnet for Shakespeare scholars from around the globe.

The play opens with the King of Navarre and three noble companions, Berowne, Dumaine, and Longaville, taking an oath to devote themselves to three years of study, promising not to give in to the company of women - Berowne somewhat more hesitantly than the others. Berowne reminds the king that the princess and her three ladies are coming to the kingdom and it was suicidal for the King to agree to this law. The King denies what Berowne says, insisting that the ladies make their camp in the field outside of his court. The King and his men comically fall in love with the princess and her ladies.

Fans of Shakespeare have long been struck by Portia's impassioned plea for mercy and by the sophisticated lawyerly twists of the trial of Antonio v. Shylock. Christina Waldman, JD, shows how the scene shifts from a law court to chancery court, presaging the evolution of the English legal system, and she brings in a wealth of references to writers who have examined this play and related questions. Her own research has turned up countless suggestive examples of word-play along with intriguing possible historical precedents for names and symbols used in the drama, adding layers of appreciation and pleasure to the reading. Could Bacon be Bellario in Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice? This is the first book-length exploration of the mysterious Bellario, the old Italian jurist whose advice Portia seeks out. The play gives very few clues about Bellario's identity.In a book published in 1965, Mark Edwin Andrews asserted that Francis Bacon was Bellario, based on the abundance of legal terms the playwright used accurately and the uncanny parallel Andrews found between the role Bacon played twenty years later in an important court case, Glanvill v. Courtney, and the play's courtroom drama with Shylock.As part of the Shakespeare authorship argument, this book explores whether the play's author modelled Bellario on Francis Bacon or, indeed, whether Bacon himself could have been the real author of the play. Bacon was an innovator and reformer, an original thinker whose ideas helped pave the way for the modern world. Because Bacon took "all knowledge to be his province" and his genius touched upon many areas, this book explores a wide range of topics; for example, law, history, philosophy, linguistics, rhetoric, theology, and overlaps, such as the historical connections between law and literature. It looks at words coined by Bacon and used by Shakespeare, and explores punning, which the Elizabethans considered an art form. It sheds light on many riddles in the play, based on clues within the work itself and in the writings of Bacon, looking closely at individual characters such as Portia, Shylock, Bassanius, and Gratiano.It is hoped this book will appeal to lawyers who, as Daniel Kornstein predicted, all seem to eventually make their pilgrimage to The Merchant of Venice, to students of history, literature, law and pre-law, theatre, and legal historians, and to students of Bacon and Shakespeare at a variety of levels.

Alvin Kernan looks at Shakespeare as a patronage playwright whose work after 1603 focused on the main concerns of his royal patron: divine-right kingship in Lear, the corruption of the court in Antony, the difficulties of the old military aristocracy in Coriolanus, and other vital matters. Kernan argues that Shakespeare was neither the royal propagandist nor the political subversive that the New Historicists have made him out to be.

From the introductory. IN these supreme days of our nation's struggle for existence and freedom, there is no direction in which we can more profitably turn for solace and distraction from our overweighted thoughts, and for support and inspiration in our hours of trial and strain, than to our great national poet, Shakespeare, in whose works, whether acted or read, while being lifted out of our- selves, we may find expressed more thoroughly and intensely than in those of any other Englishman the spirit and the feelings which animate us -- his fellow countrymen -- at this tremendous crisis in the fate of our -- and his -- beloved country. This, it is hoped, may be sufficient apology for submitting at such a time the results of the writer's researches into the mode in which one of Shakespeare's plays was presented in his life-time, and probably under his personal superintendence, before the Court of King James at Whitehall. Especially may this be so, perhaps - small as the subject may seem, beside the vast, and ever-expanding lore, that deals with Shakespeare and his art, and insignificant as may appear the present writer's contribution towards it -- if, nevertheless, it should help us, however so little, towards arriving at the right solution of that ever-present and ever-pressing problem -- equally pressing for play-goers, play actors, and play producers -- namely, what is, with due regard to the dramatist's work, the best and most loyal, as well as the most effective and convincing mode of presenting his plays on the modern stage? It is now just 306 years and a half since, on 1st November, 1611, in the old banqueting-house of Whitehall Palace, on the site where stands to-day Inigo Jones's later building, there was presented by Shakespeare's Company of His Majesty's Players, before King James and his Court, that most perfect and enchanting creation of our great dramatist -- the crown of his life's work -- The Tempest.

The life of William Shakespeare, arguably the most significant figure in the Western literary canon, is relatively unknown. Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1565, possibly on the 23rd April, St. George's Day, and baptised there on 26th April. Little is known of his education and the first firm facts to his life relate to his marriage, aged 18, to Anne Hathaway, who was 26 and from the nearby village of Shottery. Anne gave birth to their first son six months later. Shakespeare's first play, The Comedy of Errors began a procession of real heavyweights that were to emanate from his pen in a career of just over twenty years in which 37 plays were written and his reputation forever established. This early skill was recognised by many and by 1594 the Lord Chamberlain's Men were performing his works. With the advantage of Shakespeare's progressive writing they rapidly became London's leading company of players, affording him more exposure and, following the death of Queen Elizabeth in 1603, a royal patent by the new king, James I, at which point they changed their name to the King's Men. By 1598, and despite efforts to pirate his work, Shakespeare's name was well known and had become a selling point in its own right on title pages. No plays are attributed to Shakespeare after 1613, and the last few plays he wrote before this time were in collaboration with other writers, one of whom is likely to be John Fletcher who succeeded him as the house playwright for the King's Men. William Shakespeare died two months later on April 23rd, 1616, survived by his wife, two daughters and a legacy of writing that none have since yet eclipsed.
