In Shakespeare Well-Versed, James Muirden captures the essence of each of the bard's plays in quick-witted, rhyming verse. These clever synopses--with varied rhyme schemes--bring to life the high points and high jinks of all of Shakespeare's plays. Here the best-loved scenes and characters-Romeo and Juliet's impassioned balcony rendezvous, Henry V's speech before the Battle of Agincourt, Hamlet's melancholy soliloquy, the three witches meddling in Macbeth--are given fresh perspective by Muirden's charming, insightful interpretations. Whether you are a lifelong devotee of Shakespeare or one who hasn't read his work since high school, you will be delighted by Muirden's verse and by David Eccles's wickedly clever illustrations that are featured throughout the book. Shakespeare Well-Versed is a smart and entertaining companion to Shakespeare's plays.

Shakespeare S Macbeth written by William Shakespeare and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2024-04-26 with Drama categories.

This new edition of Macbeth includes helpful annotations, unique illustrations, and a commentary on the birds hidden in this fascinating play. ---- Macbeth is a tale of witches, deception, secrecy, and superstition. It is also a tale of loyalty, honor, relationships, and God. But of the many motifs of Macbeth, those revolving around nature and the supernatural are central. Some of these superstitions are hidden in the feathers of birds flitting throughout the play. Despite their number, they often remain unnoticed in the greater scope of the story. But they are not included as merely a background prop nor mentioned by happenstance, rather, the birds are often used to characterize a person or give meaning to a scene's atmosphere. Yet to the modern reader, most of these birds mean little besides name, shape, and perhaps color if the reader is well-versed in bird species. Understanding them allows for understanding the underlying messages of the play. So, enjoy Shakespeare's thrilling Macbeth and learn about the symbols, omens, and messages throughout this play. ---- Inside you will find: - An edited, modern, first folio edition of Macbeth - A glossary of terms - Annotations on every page to aid in reading and understanding - A concluding commentary - Unique illustrations of the birds mentioned in the play

Shakespeare S Religious Allusiveness written by Maurice Hunt and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2019-10-28 with Literary Criticism categories.

Shakespeare's Religious Allusiveness complicates debates about whether Shakespeare's plays are fundamentally Protestant or Catholic in sympathy, challenging analyses that either find Protestant elements consistently undercutting Catholic motifs or, less often, discover evidence of the playwright's endorsement of Catholic doctrine and customs. Rather, Maurice Hunt argues that Shakespeare's syncretistic method of incorporating both Protestant and Catholic elements into his plays was singular among early modern English playwrights at a time when governmental and social tolerance of Protestantism in the theatre was high and criticism of stereotyped Catholicism was correspondingly rampant in drama. In-depth discussions of The Two Gentlemen of Verona, the Second Henriad, All's Well That Ends Well, Twelfth Night, and Othello reveal how Shakespeare allusively integrates Reformation Protestant and Roman Catholic motifs and systems of thought. This book sheds new light on the playwright's knowledge of and interest in Elizabethan and Jacobean religious debates over the nature of spiritual reformation, the efficacy of merit for redemption, and the operation of Providence. It will appeal not only to Shakespeare scholars but to those interested in the cultural history of the Reformation.

This book is an "Award-winning finalist in the Best New Nonfiction category of the National Best Books, 2008 Awards, sponsored by USA Book News." The award includes a full-color listing live on USABookNews.com for six months. The judges also have underway a major publicity campaign announcing the award results, to be continued throughout the holidays. Free award images for our websites are available at http://www.ucabooknews.com/awardimages.html. TESTIMONIALS "Gordon intelligently and humanely explicates well over five dozen of the poems, providing the sonnets themselves, thorough and straightforward paraphrases, and concise but never hasty discussions. Sonnets are arranged thematically rather than in their standard 1609 published order, since Gordon believes that they were written at various times and prompted by a variety of circumstances . While [Helen] Vendler's explications of the Sonnets are more thorough and microscopic, Gordon's here are significantly more engaging and alive." -Review by Michael Delahoyde, Rocky Mountain Review of Language and Literature (Fall, 2007)- "Both Jo and I have finished reading your excellent book: "Secret Love Story".. Your explanation of the sonnets is far and away the best interpretation that we have ever seen. I [tend] to be suspicious of [other authors] fitting every sonnet into a tightly structured time frame.. Your interpretation makes such good sense. It was also a compelling read." -From Ian Haste, Oxfordian scholar- "Fascinating reading . . . often more sympathetic to our life experiences and common sense than some interpretations I've seen. An at-times-dizzying new interpretation of the Sonnets and of the Shakespeare conundrum--negating the conventional wisdom that there is nothing new to be said about Shakespeare. Dr. Gordon's close reading of the Sonnets sometimes contrasts with other new theories, sometimes agrees or even augments them....Her explication of the notoriously opaque introduction to the Sonnets compels attention despite our reflexive distrust of ciphers and anagrams.... " -Wenonah Sharpe, Oxfordian Scholar- "I wish I'd had Helen Gordon's book when I was teaching Shakespeare's sonnets to high school students. They would have found the paraphrases extremely helpful and the love story strongly compelling. Her insightful commentaries on the sonnets are both enjoyable and revealing. They certainly cast new light on Shakespeare's sonnets with unusual, refreshing interpretations -- a must-read for all lovers of English literature." -Karen Whicker Ellis, English teacher- "As a long-time admirer of both Shakespeare's and Dr. Gordon's literary work,I was entranced by The Secret Love Story in Shakespeare's Sonnets. I found it hard to put down, as I couldn't wait to discover what was hidden in the next sonnet! Even readers who are not well-versed in Shakespearean literature will enjoy this intriguing, encrypted love story." -Heidi Winn, M.S., Licensed Psychotherapist-

Motivated by scholarship and driven by curiosity, Shakespeare historian Brenda James applied a sixteenth-century code-breaking technique to the dedication of Shakespeare's Sonnets. What she uncovered led her to the truth behind literature's greatest mystery. For more than 150 years, academics have questioned how William Shakespeare of Stratford, a man who left school at age thirteen and apparently never traveled abroad, could have written such a broad and deep body of work, one that is said to draw on the largest vocabulary of any writer in the English language. Now, in The Truth Will Out James and history professor William D. Rubinstein explore the facts behind James's important findings, detailing how her work on the dedication led to the name Sir Henry Neville, a prominent Elizabethan diplomat whose life unlocked the secrets of the Shakespeare Authorship Question once and for all. Examining the true nature of Shakespeare of Stratford's involvement with the plays, the authors reveal the London actor to be a mere pawn, while Neville, the Oxford-educated ambassador to France and a member of Parliament for twenty-eight years, was actually the Bard. Disguising his authorship to avoid bringing scandal and shame to his family name, Neville spent a great deal of time abroad in Europe, entering a realm of aristocratic intrigue and mystery that provided the foundation for some of his greatest plays. With insightful explanations of never-before-studied documents, James and Rubinstein demonstrate that not only did the refined and worldly Neville know the landscape of Shakespeare's plays firsthand but that these works represent a total convergence of the events in Neville's life. But the evidence proving Neville's authorship is not merely circumstantial. Comparing mysterious signatures and Neville's richly woven family lineage, the authors paint a portrait of a man whose claim moves beyond the speculative. An experienced politician, who was well-versed in the intrigues of the Court, Neville was locked away in the Tower of London for his part in the unsuccessful Essex Rebellion against Queen Elizabeth. Using a collection of Neville's writings from his imprisonment, James and Rubinstein provide an exhaustive cross section of the intrigue surrounding Neville's life, exposing the events that led to his hidden writings and the cloaking of their true origin. Captivating and elucidating, The Truth Will Out is a revelatory exploration of two men and their times that will forever change the landscape of Shakespearean scholarship.
