DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Topical Shakespeariana: Or a Collection of English Shakespeariana (Exclusive of Editions); Arranged Under Headings to Facilitate Reference to Special Subjects of Investigation Merson claims that while every one is allowed his poet, that the poet should be allowed the poet's poet without exciting any ill-feeling. In agreement with this phil osophy, it seems as if providing for the bibliopole and the bibliomaniac, there might be room for the student who values his books as they aid his investigations, and who desires to know of a new book the nature and manner of treatment. Bibliographies like Thimm's or Lowndes' or Allibone's are not Specially convenient for the purpose last stated, and it is hoped that this article will be found directly serviceable to those who have forgotten or who have never known where to look for aid in the pursuit of any special Shakespearian inquiry. To study Shakespeare is a general direction, and many are de terred by an ignorance of what to study in Shakespeare, and of those auxiliaries which direct and aid one while a pupil, and which enlarge even the student's view by the presenta tion of the work of[others. Most essays upon Shakespeare are unfortunately eulogistic rather than critical: hence with a traditional belief that Shakespeare is the great name in En glish literature, but little is done towards changing a blind faith into a clear conviction hence again, while all in a gen eral way, know that Shakespeare has proved his universality by standing the tests of many and various standards, it yet remains to bring home to people the truth that Shakespeare can minister better than another to their individual needs and that with a recognition of the reciprocity of all genuine efforts, we should be relieved from the bickerings and un charitableness that form so large a part of most treatises.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →George Lyman Kittredge’s insightful editions of Shakespeare have endured in part because of his eclecticism, his diversity of interests, and his wide-ranging accomplishments, all of which are reflected in the valuable notes in each volume. These new editions have specific emphasis on the performance histories of the plays (on stage and screen). Features of each edition include: - The original introduction to the Kittredge Edition - Editor’s Introduction to the Focus Edition. An overview on major themes of the plays, and sections on the play’s performance history on stage and screen. - Explanatory Notes. The explanatory notes either expand on Kittredge’s superb glosses, or, in the case of plays for which he did not write notes, give the needed explanations for Shakespeare’s sometimes demanding language. - Performance notes. These appear separately and immediately below the textual footnotes and include discussions of noteworthy stagings of the plays, issues of interpretation, and film and stage choices. - How to read the play as Performance Section. A discussion of the written play vs. the play as performed and the various ways in which Shakespeare’s words allow the reader to envision the work "off the page." - Comprehensive Timeline. Covering major historical events (with brief annotations) as well as relevant details from Shakespeare’s life. Some of the Chronologies include time chronologies within the plays. - Topics for Discussion and Further Study Section. Critical Issues: Dealing with the text in a larger context and considerations of character, genre, language, and interpretative problems. Performance Issues: Problems and intricacies of staging the play connected to chief issues discussed in the Focus Editions’ Introduction. - Select Bibliography & Filmography Each New Kittredge edition also includes screen grabs from major productions, for comparison and scene study.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Twelfth Night is one of the most popular of Shakespeare's plays in the modern theatre, and this edition places particular emphasis on its theatrical qualities throughout. The introduction analyses the many views of love in the play, and the juxtaposition of happiness and melancholy used todramatize them. The presentation of the text has been re-thought in theatrical terms, and the exceptionally full an detailed commentary pays close attention to the often difficult language. The play's contrastig moods are emphasized by the use of music, which plays an important role in TwelfthNight; James Walker has re-edited the existing music from the original sources, and where none exist has composed settings compatible in style with the surviving originals, so that this edition offers material for all the music required in a performance, the only modern edition to do so. Theedition will be invaluable to actors, directors, and students at all levels.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This new edition of the precursor to Richard III offers a fresh interpretation of the relationship between the two earliest texts--The True Tragedy of Richard Duke of York (octavo, 1595) and the First Folio Henry VI Part Three (1623)--arguing that the former is a memorially reported and original version of the play later revised for the Folio. The two therefore represent Shakespeare's early and revised conceptions of the play. Unlike all previous editions, the text here is based rigorously on the Folio, with a re-examination of the dates of composition, memorial reporting, and revision. It includes a full introduction, appendices, and commentary.
