THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR, THE COMEDY OF ERRORS, MEASURE FOR MEASURE The Shakespeare Novels The novelization of Shakespeare’s plays adds an entirely new dimension to the enjoyment and fuller appreciation of his work, while generally paralleling the plays scene by scene, and there’s absolutely no better way to learn the plays than through reading the novels. Although Shakespeare wrote thirty-seven magnificent plays, few people other than English and drama majors are familiar with more than a handful of them. Yet all his plays are intricately plotted and among them they contain all the elements of great fiction: romance, comedy, tragedy, intrigue, dramatic climaxes, surprise twists and denouements, war, murder, rape, incest, mystery, madness, revenge, deadly duels, the clash of mighty opposites, noble sacrifices, tyranny, villainous plots, horror, superstition, the supernatural, ghosts, mistaken identity, religion, miracles, panoramic epics, history, hilarity, delight, farce, sagacity, and the world’s greatest love stories, including deadly triangles, suicides, dark rendevous, pandered love, sizzling sensuality, jealousy, star-crossed lovers, summer love, eternal love, and even the inimitable Falstaff in love, by order of Queen Bess. Although Shakespeare did say “Men have died from time to time, and worms have eaten them, but not for love,” his great love stories give that quip the lie. Now fortunately you don’t have to go to school and take a class in English lit to understand and enjoy Shakespeare. Here are the world’s most memorable plays in everyday English, in easy, highly readable novel form, written initially for the student and the playgoer yes, as they follow the plays fairly closely, but really for anyone seeking a great story. An entirely new perspective on Shakespeare, a totally new “paradigm” in the sense of the word as defined by people motivator Stephen Covey. Shakespeare as you’ve never known him, except that ironically, this time, you will! CTRandall As the author is more concerned with his role as a teacher than as a writer, he invites critical comments and suggestions, including errata, which he can incorporate in a second or subsequent edition. The author especially wants to hear from students and playgoers who find this or other novels in the series helpful in their study and/or fuller enjoyment of Shakespeare. Observations from other Shakespeareans are cordially invited and will be especially appreciated. Please include permission (or nonpermission) to quote your comments. Xlibris.com or ShakespeareNovels.com The Merry Wives of Windsor The Novel. This story might never have been told, except for the intervention of no less a personage than that of Her Most Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the First. For sadly, as we all know, Sir John Falstaff passed on in Shakespeare’s Henry the Fifth, just as we looked forward to the fat knight’s enormous presence on the glorious field at Agincourt — hoping for an even more flamboyant repetition of the gallant behavior he exhibited when he rose from seeming death at Shrewsbury and slew the already dead Hotspur, in The First Part of Henry the Fourth. Thus we were fated to forgo the considerable pleasure of seeing at least once more the merry shaking of the heavy timbers of the stage as Falstaff burst upon us with his ponderous stride while raising the rafters of the fartherest gallery with his bellowing voice and booming laugh. Except that Queen Bess loved and missed the fat, roguish knight so much, Sir John Falstaff would have remained forever dead to those packed houses which cheered and hooted him, laughed with and at him, and cried with and for him. The groundlings, that eager assortment of poor clerks, apprentices and ne’er-do-wells sneaking away from their cho

A THE TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019 'The best introduction to the plays I've read, perhaps the best book on Shakespeare, full stop' Alex Preston, Observer 'It makes you impatient to see or re-read the plays at once' Hilary Mantel A genius and prophet whose timeless works encapsulate the human condition like no others. A writer who surpassed his contemporaries in vision, originality and literary mastery. Who wrote like an angel, putting it all so much better than anyone else. Is this Shakespeare? Well, sort of. But it doesn't really tell us the whole truth. So much of what we say about Shakespeare is either not true, or just not relevant, deflecting us from investigating the challenges of his inconsistencies and flaws. This electrifying new book thrives on revealing, not resolving, the ambiguities of Shakespeare's plays and their changing topicality. It introduces an intellectually, theatrically and ethically exciting writer who engages with intersectionality as much as with Ovid, with economics as much as poetry: who writes in strikingly modern ways about individual agency, privacy, politics, celebrity and sex. It takes us into a world of politicking and copy-catting, as we watch him emulating the blockbusters of Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Kyd, the Spielberg and Tarantino of their day; flirting with and skirting round the cut-throat issues of succession politics, religious upheaval and technological change. The Shakespeare in this book poses awkward questions rather than offering bland answers, always implicating us in working out what it might mean. This is Shakespeare. And he needs your attention.

To Analyze Delight written by Gary Taylor and has been published by University of Delaware Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1985 with Drama categories.
This book is an attempt to analyze why certain moments in Shakespear's play give more pleasure than others. Too often, according to the author, literary criticism filters out pleasure in the pursuit of meaning, reducing poems to their lowest common denominator. He would rather analyze delight by replacing the modern emphasis upon interpretation with a kind of critical hedonism--the study of drama as a superior amusement.

Shakespeare in Modern English breaks the taboo about Shakespeare’s texts, which have long been regarded as sacred and untouchable while being widely and freely translated into foreign languages. It is designed to make Shakespeare more easily understood in the theatre without dumbing down or simplifying the content. Shakespeare’s ‘As You Like It’, ‘Coriolanus’ and ‘The Tempest’ are presented in Macdonald’s book in modern English. They show that these great plays lose nothing by being acted or read in the language we all use today. Shakespeare’s language is poetic, elaborately rich and memorable, but much of it is very difficult to comprehend in the theatre when we have no notes to explain allusions, obsolete vocabulary and whimsical humour. Foreign translations of Shakespeare are normally into their modern language. So why not ours too? The purpose in rendering Shakespeare into modern English is to enhance the enjoyment and understanding of audiences in the theatre. The translations are not designed for children or dummies, but for those who want to understand Shakespeare better, especially in the theatre. Shakespeare in Modern English will appeal to those who want to understand the rich and poetical language of Shakespeare in a more comprehensible way. It is also a useful tool for older students studying Shakespeare.

'And kiss me, Kate. We will be married o?Sunday?Petruchio, seeking his fortune in Padua, seeks to marry the strong-willed Katherine, while Lucentio and Bianca steal a marriage from under a father's nose. The Taming of the Shrew offers a Shakespearean take on feminism and a humorous but, surprisingly modern, look at the age-old battle between the sexes.With its hilarious Induction, laughably believable characters, and skillfully intertwined plots and subplots, the play provides an excellent introduction to the range of Shakespeare's comedic talents.To make The Taming of the Shrew more accessible for the modern reader, our Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Edition includes a glossary of the more difficult words, as well as convenient sidebar notes to enlighten the reader on aspects that may be confusing or overlooked. In doing this, it is our intention that the reader may more fully enjoy the beauty of the verse, the wisdom of the insights, and the impact of thedrama.
