Shakespeare and Biography / David Bevington

Public ISBD Titre : Shakespeare and Biography Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : David Bevington, Auteur Editeur : Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2012 Collection : Oxford Shakespeare Topics Importance : 188 p. Format : 20.27 x 13.72 x 1.09 centimetres (0.23 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-958647-9 Langues : Anglais Résumé : XFORD SHAKESPEARE TOPICS General Editors: Peter Holland and Stanley Wells Oxford Shakespeare Topics provide students and teachers with short books on important aspects of Shakespeare criticism and scholarship. Each book is written by an authority in its field, and combines accessible style with original discussion of its subject. Shakespeare and Biography is not a new biography of Shakespeare. Instead, it is a study of what biographers have said about Shakespeare, from the first formal biography in the early 18th century by Nicholas Rowe to Stephen Greenblatt, James Shapiro, Jonathan Bate, Germaine Greer, Katherine Duncan-Jones, Park Honan, Rene Weis, and others who have written recent biographical accounts of England's greatest writer. The emphasis is on what sort of issues these biographers have found especially interesting in relation to sex and gender, politics, religion, pessimism, misanthropy, jealousy, aging, family relationships, the end of a career, the end of life. How has Shakespeare's contemplation of these issues changed and grown, and in what ways do those changes reflect new cultural developments in our world as it continues to reinterpret Shakespeare?

Shakespeare and Memory / Hester Lees-Jeffries

Public ISBD Titre : Shakespeare and Memory Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Hester Lees-Jeffries, Auteur Editeur : Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2013 Collection : Oxford Shakespeare Topics Importance : 228 p. Format : 20.7 x 14.8 x 2.1 centimetres (0.40 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-967426-8 Note générale : Hamlet's father's Ghost asks his son to 'Remember me!', but how did people remember around 1600? And how do we remember now? Shakespeare and Memory brings together classical and early modern sources, theatre history, performance, material culture, and cognitive psychology and neuroscience in order to explore ideas about memory in Shakespeare's plays and poems. It argues that, when Shakespeare was writing, ideas about memory were undergoing a kind of crisis, as both the technologies of memory (print, the theatre itself) and the belief structures underpinning ideas about memory underwent rapid change. And it suggests that this crisis might be mirrored in our own time, when, despite all the increasing gadgetry at our disposal, memory can still be recovered, falsified, corrupted, or wiped: only we ourselves can remember, but the workings of memory remain mysterious. Shakespeare and Memory draws on works from all stages of Shakespeare's career, with a particular focus on Hamlet, the Sonnets, Twelfth Night, and The Winter's Tale. It considers some little things: what's Hamlet writing on? And why does Orsino think he smells violets? And it asks some big questions: how should the dead be remembered? What's the relationship between memory and identity? And is it art, above all, that enables love and beauty, memory and identity, to endure in the face of loss, time, and death? Langues : Anglais Note de contenu : Table of Contents: NOTE ON TEXTS ; LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS ; 1. Introduction ; 2. The Art of Memory: Hamlet ; 3. Remembering Rome: Titus Andronicus, The Rape of Lucrece, Troilus and Cressida ; 4. Remembering England: The Histories, Henry VIII ; 5. Remembering the Dead: Hamlet ; 6. Remembering love: Twelfth Night, the Sonnets, Troilus and Cressida ; 7. The Memory of Things: The Winter's Tale, The Merchant of Venice, Othello, Hamlet ; 8. Remembrance of Things Past: The Sonnets, The Winter's Tale ; 9. Epilogue: Remembering Shakespeare ; NOTES ; FURTHER READING ; INDEX.

Shakespeare and the Staging of English History / Janette Dillon

Public ISBD Titre : Shakespeare and the Staging of English History Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Janette Dillon, Auteur Editeur : Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2012 Collection : Oxford Shakespeare Topics Importance : 150 p. Format : 20.32 x 13.97 x 1.52 centimetres (0.30 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-959316-3 Note générale : OXFORD SHAKESPEARE TOPICS General Editors: Peter Holland and Stanley Wells Oxford Shakespeare Topics provide students and teachers with short books on important aspects of Shakespeare criticism and scholarship. Each book is written by an authority in its field, and combines accessible style with original discussion of its subject. This new study of Shakespeare's English history plays looks at the plays through the lens of early modern staging, focusing on the recurrence of particular stage pictures and 'units of action', and seeking to show how these units function in particular and characteristic ways within the history plays. Through close analysis of stage practice and stage picture, the book builds a profile of the kinds of writing and staging that characterise a Shakespearean history play and that differentiate one history play from another. The first part of the book concentrates primarily on the stage, looking at the 'single' picture or tableau; the use of presenters or choric figures; and the creation of horizontally and vertically divided stage pictures. Later chapters focus more on the body: on how bodies move, gesture, occupy space, and handle objects in particular kinds of scenes. The book concludes by analysing the highly developed use of one crucial stage property, the chair of state, in Shakespeare's last history play, Henry VIII. Students of Shakespeare often express anxiety about how to read a play as a performance text rather than a non-dramatic literary text. This book aims to dispel that anxiety. It offers readers a way of making sense of plays by looking closely at what happens on stage and breaks down scenes into shorter units so that the building blocks of Shakespeare's historical dramaturgy become visible. By studying the unit of action, how it looks and how that look resembles or differs from the look of other units of action, readers will become familiar with a way of reading that may be applied to other plays, both Shakespearean and non-Shakespearean.

Shakespeare's Common Prayers / Daniel Swift

Public ISBD Titre : Shakespeare's Common Prayers : The Book of Common Prayer and the Elizabethan Age Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Daniel Swift, Auteur Editeur : Oxford [United Kingdom] : Oxford university press Année de publication : 2013 Collection : Oxford Shakespeare Topics Importance : 304 p. Format : 21.1 x 14.7 x 2.4 centimetres (0.43 kg) ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-983856-1 Langues : Anglais Résumé : Shakespeare's Common Prayers revolves around Shakespeare's great overlooked source: the Book of Common Prayer, first published in 1549, whose appearance established Protestantism as the compulsory belief of the day. Written in a simple vernacular and incorporating familiar Catholic rituals, the book laid out the proper performance of church rites and services. And yet it was also highly disputed and constantly in flux; as Daniel Swift shows, the prayer book's history is one of passionately contested revision and of manic sensitivity to a verb or a turn of phrase. In the book's ambiguities and fierce contestations, Swift argues, William Shakespeare found the ready elements of drama: dispute over words and their practical consequences, hope for sanctification tempered by fear of simple meaninglessness, and the demand for improvised performance as a compensation for the failure of language to do what it appears to promise. Swift offers a study of Shakespeare at work: of his imagination at play upon a set of literary materials from which he both borrowed and learned, of his manipulation of the explosive chemistry of word and action that comprised early modern liturgy. Swift argues that the Book of Common Prayer mediates between the secular and the devotional, producing a tension that helps make Shakespeare's plays so powerful and exceptional. Tracing the prayer book's lines and motions through As You Like It, Hamlet, Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure, Othello, and particularly Macbeth, Swift redirects scholarly attention to the religious heart of Shakespeare's work and time. Note de contenu : Table of Contents: Prologue: A Revel with the Puritans ; Chapter 1: The only book in the world ; Part 1: The form of solemnization of Matrimony ; Chapter 2: For better, for worse ; Chapter 3: Till death us depart ; Part 2: The order for the administration of the Lord's Supper, or holy Communion ; Chapter 4: The Quick and the Dead ; Chapter 5: A gap in our great feast ; Part 3: The ministration of Baptism to be used in the Church ; Chapter 6: Graceless Sacraments ; Chapter 7: Above all Humane Power ; Epilogue: Five or Six Words.
