Book Description
Excerpt from Caliban by the Yellow Sands TO mention but one of the 1916 Tercentenary Objects necessary to solve, it was needful for this Masque to provide, in brief time and focussed space, as large a num her as possible Of important Shakespearian parts for eminent professional actors and actresses to interpret. Hence, I devised the Inner Scenes, as here published, scenes which, of course, Shakespeare did not originally conceive to be spoken on an immense outdoor scale, yet which eminent Shakespearian actors would hardly have consented to act in pantomime. The words of my own text in this volume have, for the most part, been carefully intended for the large outdoor scale, whereas those of Shakespeare in the Inner Scenes were not so intended.

Shakespeare as Children's Literature
Author: Velma Bourgeois Richmond
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 0786437812
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 373
Book Description
Although William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, he traditionally receives little notice in studies of children's literature. However, there is a fascinating relationship between Shakespeare and children's interests, and the Bard's works have been successfully adapted for children's use over several centuries. This book continues and parallels the author's previous study, Chaucer as Children's Literature, as part of a greater endeavor to evaluate the significance of traditional literature retold as children's literature in modern English studies. It examines the ways in which William Shakespeare's stories have been adapted for children, particularly in Mary and Charles Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare, which was almost immediately recognized as a classic of children's literature when it was first published in 1807. The author describes the significance of the Lamb's Tales as the pre-eminent children's adaptation of Shakespeare's literature, focusing particularly on the lavishly illustrated Edwardian editions which used pictures to convey Shakespeare's stories for children. Other topics include Victorian alternatives to the Lambs' stories, including anthologies from David Murray Smith, Abby Sage Richardson, and Mary Seymour; the lavish illustrations of Shakespeare's stories found in antique English textbooks; Shakespeare in nursery books, including sophisticated collections from Mary Macleod, Thomas Carter, Alice S. Hoffman, and other noted authors; and Shakespeare in multi-volume American collections, including The Children's Hour, Journeys through Bookland, and The Junior Classics.
