A Life of Shakespeare
Author: Hesketh PearsonPublisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 1789120799
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
‘You are a genuine soaker in Shakespeare, and have not read him as a task. You have him by heart.’—Bernard Shaw wrote in a letter to Hesketh Pearson. Before he became a well-known biographer, Hesketh Pearson was an actor. Few facts are known about Shakespeare, but with an actor’s eye and a supreme self-confidence Pearson has drawn a recognisable portrait of Shakespeare the man—even telling us the colour of his hair and of his predilection for black-haired women. The plays and poems are assessed in the search to discover and build up a picture of Shakespeare’s character. Pearson has included an anthology of his favourite lines and passages.
An Oxford Anthology of Shakespeare
Author: William ShakespearePublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 9780192822406
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
This elegantly-crafted anthology presents over two hundred of the finest examples of Shakespeare's work, ranging from two-line aphorisms to sonnets and even complete scenes. Ideal for browsing, it allows readers to revisit favorite passages such as Hamlet's soliloquy or the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet, or to discover unfamiliar gems. Above all, it permits readers to savor Shakespeare's unequaled capacity to portray the peaks and valleys of human experience. In creating the anthology, Stanley Wells--the General Editor of the Oxford Shakespeare--has selected those passages which he finds most attractive in their own right and which suffer least from being read out of context. Arranged according to subject matter, this volume, which is based on the text of the Complete Oxford Shakespeare, also contains a play-by-play index and glossary.

London in the Age of Shakespeare
Author: Lawrence ManleyPublisher:
ISBN: 9780271004457
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
London in the age of Shakespeare was one of the largest and most important cities of Europe. Poets and poetasters, rhetoricians and preachers were able to use the city as an object for displays of technical rhetoric in ballads, bawdy jests, sermons, and tales. There is today an unparalleled wealth of contemporary descriptions which give us a vivid picture of what life was like in London in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Professor Manley has collected a rich variety of such documents on Shakespeare's London, many of which have never before been translated into English. He has provided a general introduction to the history and literature of Tudor-Stuart London, while in further introductions to each chapter he sets the selections in their historical context and explains the conventions of literary genre that must be considered in using the selections as historical evidence. This collection will be welcomed by those interested in Renaissance history and life, and will be a useful resource for students of Renaissance poetry and rhetoric.
