Excerpt from Shakespeare's Stories of the English Kings It is inevitable, in retelling the stories of Shakespeare's English Kings, that we should recall the names of Charles and Mary Lamb. These gifted authors are associated immortally with Shakespeare, and their Tales must remain a classic for youthful readers, to whom a simple prose rendering is of great value as an introduction to the genius of our greatest poet. The Histories, however, were not included in the Tales, hence there is opportunity for an endeavour to provide a prose version of this attractive section of the great plays. Beginning with the period before the Roman invader came to our shores, and passing through the times of Plantagenet and Tudor to the opening days of Elizabeth, Shakespeare has presented in his wonderful series an almost complete view of the great figures of English history, indicating with a sure touch the movements, crises, and turning-points of our national development. The canvas is a crowded one, but there is no superfluous figure, and from the king to the peasant he holds the mirror of genius up to Nature and reflects life. The inner significance has been well indicated by Walter Pater. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Story of English Kings, According to Shakespeare A little sketch leads up to the story of the second Richard; a glance at his famed ancestor, the Black Prince, in the act of winning his spurs; a look toward the English people of those days as they appeared to the clear vision of Chaucer, of the author of Piers the Plowman, of that rare old chronicler Sir John Froissart. Thereafter each story is a prelude to the one that follows; as, for instance, in telling the tale of Richard II much more than a beginning is made upon that of his successor. At the opening of each story there is a looking back to get the leading string well in hand. The world believes Shakespeare is its greatest dramatist, and, as possessing the profoundest insight, its best teacher of the science of human nature. If teaching by example is history, he is also one of the ablest of historians. These English plays, at least so much of them as are contained in this book, may well be a part of any coarse of general reading. Its perusal by the young, at odd times and at even times, regularly and as a "stop-gap," will hold open the doors into two great empires of thought - English history and Shakespeare.

Excerpt from The Plays of Shakespeare: King Henry Vi, Second PartShakespeare was not the only dramatist in Eliza beth's reign who could write vigorous lines of dramatic poetry: It does not at all follow that in an Old play to which Shakespeare may have contributed, all the best lines were of his writing. It was not by the mere writing of good verses that Shakespeare grew to be the master-poet of the world; and when he revised these plays on the most desolating Of our English civil wars, he had not reached the fulness of his power. He was simply helping to lay stress upon the miseries of civil war, at a time when many Englishmen began to dread that there might be civil war again, arising out of rival claims to the throne after the death Of Queen Elizabeth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Stage History of Shakespeare's King Richard the Third In the following pages it is my purpose to trace the fortune upon the stage of one of the most popular of Shakespeare's plays, "The Tragedy of King Richard the Third." In such a history, the consideration of the play as literature must be entirely subordinated to the exhibition of its capacity for stage effectiveness, and its success, deserved or not, with the public. For this reason, discussions of text, date and authorship, are deemed out of the province of this enquiry. While the materials for such a study, especially in the earlier history of the, play, are scant, it has been my aim to give such records of performances as are extant, with the conditions of staging, the use of scenery, properties, and costume, the methods of actors, especially of those who have taken the principal part, and the attitude of the audience in successive periods and under varying conditions. Since there is little direct information concerning the play during the Elizabethan period, I have attempted to supply this lack in some measure, by an examination of the typical plays of the time, with a view to discovering the stage conditions which affected the original presentation. Having established the prevailing methods of staging by careful reference to the directions in contemporary plays, and by noting the favorite devices, and the management of situations similar to those occurring in this play, I have thought it possible, by a comparative method, to reconstruct the presentation of "Richard the Third" in Shakespeare's time. The work naturally falls into well-marked divisions. First, the history of the play from its earliest performance to the closing of the theatres. The next period extends from the opening of the theatres to 1700, a time of general rather than particular importance to our subject. With the beginning of the eighteenth century, the Gibber version of "Richard the Third," the best known of all the adaptations of Shakespeare, appeared, and this constitutes the main feature of the history of the play during the century. Garrick initiates a new era-4 in the history of acting in the mid-eighteenth century and I have therefore made his age the beginning of a fourth period. This extends through the career of Sir Henry Irving. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

King John, a history play by William Shakespeare, dramatises the reign of John, King of England (ruled 1199–1216), son of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine and father of Henry III of England. It is believed to have been written in the mid-1590s but was not published until it appeared in the First Folio in 1623. Life of William Shakespeare is a biography of William Shakespeare by the eminent critic Sidney Lee. This book was one of the first major biographies of the Bard of Avon. It was published in 1898, based on the article contributed to the Dictionary of National Biography. William Shakespeare (1564 – 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His extant works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, the authorship of some of which is uncertain. Sir Sidney Lee (1859 – 1926) was an English biographer and critic. He was a lifelong scholar and enthusiast of Shakespeare. His article on Shakespeare in the fifty-first volume of the Dictionary of National Biography formed the basis of his Life of William Shakespeare. This full-length life is often credited as the first modern biography of the poet.
