Abstract:

Britain began making Shakespeare her national poet early in the eighteenth century, and Germany followed suit a few decades later, progressively turning ‘unser Shakespeare’ into one of three national poets, with Goethe and Schiller. As early as 1773, Johann Gottfried Herder included his essay on ‘Shakespear’ in a collection entitled Von Deutscher Art und Kunst. The drama of the ‘Sturm und Drang’, which Herder's collection programmatically inaugurated, appropriated what Goethe (Götz von Berlichingen), Schiller (The Robbers) and their contemporaries (mis)understood to be Shakespeare's dramatic t

Abstract:

William Shakespeare embraces the racial concerns of the seventeenth century in his various plays. The racial clash was one of the significant inquiries of the seventeenth century. There were numerous prohibitions against the relationship of black and white. The etymological colonialism was at the core of the Shakespearean dramatization that rendered on racism. The language utilized as a pioneering instrument for racial discrimination. Moreover, Shakespeare's play was effectively associated with darker-looking individuals during Elizabethan times. Therefore, the darker-looking Othello and the J

Abstract:

In his commendatory poem from the First Folio, Ben Jonson asserted that Shakespeare “was not of an age, but for all time.” This has proved true, and Shakespeare has been able to speak to many succeeding generations of readers and theatregoers. This, however, is not because essential, unchangeable, and universal truths about human nature, the world, and experience lay hidden in his plays or his characters but (quite the opposite) because succeeding generations, over the centuries, have been able to appropriate, exploit, and reuse Shakespeare to make sense of their world and their lives.

Abstract:

The plays of William Shakespeare have been performed all over the globe. This is particularly true of the erstwhile colonies of Britain and India is no exception. Along with other English playwrights, Shakespeare’s plays began to be performed in India during the eighteenth century by British officials for their entertainment. Educated Indians took these performances as a model to develop ‘modern’ Indian theatre. The present essay engages with Shakespeare production in colonial Calcutta, starting with Shakespeare performances in English before moving on to consider the later process of ‘indigen

Abstract:

The paper examines the spatial overlap between the disenfranchisement of African Americans and the performance of William Shakespeare’s plays in the United States. In America, William Shakespeare seems to function as a prelapsarian poet, one who wrote before the institutionalization of colonial slavery, and he is therefore a poet able to symbolically function as a ‘public good’ that trumps America’s past associations with slavery. Instead, the modern American performance of Shakespeare emphasizes an idealized strain of human nature: especially when Americans perform Shakespeare outdoors, we te

Abstract:

Studying English literature is insufficient without shedding light on the works of William Shakespeare (1564- 1616). His plays in particular, are rich of significant ideas that give inspiration, controversy and debate for both spectators and critics despite the fact that female characters in Shakespearean plays have less conversation than the male characters. Nevertheless; when they speak, the spectators feel that they seem as they were the backbone of the plays. Their roles are pivotal in the plays and in the development of the plot and undoubtedly, their words and their speeches reflect the

Abstract:

Shakespeare’s works at that time considered a work of high art. The influence of his work has been a source of inspiration for many artists to create paintings, operas and ballet performances. Studying Shakespeare is like studying life from multiple perspectives: psychological, political, philosophical, social, spiritual. The rhythms he uses in his words are reflected in the rhythms of our bodies. Known as the greatest English-language writer in history, and earning him the nickname of England's national poet, William Shakespeare is the author with the most-played theatrical work to date.

Because that is injected in Shakespeare’s nature to discuss every aspect of his age like medicine, falconry and agriculture but his astronomy is quite interesting.

Abstract:

This dissertation is concerned with the paradox of revelatory deception a form of 'lying' which reveals truth instead of concealing it in four Shakespearean plays: Much Ado About Nothing, As You Like It, Hamlet, and King Lear. Through close analysis, I show that revelatory deceptions in these plays are metatheatrical, and read them as responding to contemporary writers who attacked the theatre for being inherently deceitful. This reading leads to the identification of parallels in the description of theatre in antitheatrical texts and the descriptions of revelatory deceptions in the plays.

What role did identification play in the motives, processes, and products of select post-colonial authors who "wrote back" to William Shakespeare and colonialism? How did post-colonial counter-discursive metatheatre function to make select post-colonial adaptations creative and critical texts? In answer to these questions, this dissertation proposes that counter-discursive metatheatre resituates post-colonial plays as criticism of Shakespeare's plays. As particular post-colonial authors identify with marginalized Shakespearean characters and aim to amplify their conflicts from the perspective

An analytical history of the representation of gender on the English stage from Shakespeare to modern times is followed by a detailed examination of the National Theatre of Great Britain's production of 'As You Like It' in 1967, the first production of a play by Shakespeare for over three hundred years in which the female parts were played by male actors. Subsequent cross-cast productions of Shakespeare's plays by Glasgow Citizen's Theatre, Prospect theatre Company, Lindsay Kemp, Theatre du Soleil and Goodman Theatre Chicago are discussed and the views of directors and critics of those product

Abstract:

Abstract Some attitudes to Shakespeare elsewhere in nineteenth-century society came from quite other needs. Shakespeare’s plays required to be changed to make them accessible to children and acceptable for families. Charles and Mary Lamb produced their Tales from Shakespeare in 1807 (mostly written by Mary), turning the plays into placidly and even at times sentimentally moral stories that were also designed to free children’s (and especially young girls’) imaginations by their encounters with the worlds of the plays. Their versions have never been out of print since and have formed the first encounters with Shakespeare for many generations of children.

Abstract In the meantime, Shakespeare was developing new forms for his drama. Pericles marked a new departure, a drama whose narrative spreads to and fro across the Mediterranean, with a chorus, the poet John Gower whose poem Confessio amantis is one of the play’s sources, returned from the grave to tell the tale. From the finality of losing the beloved daughter at the end of King Lear to the possibility of a family being reunited at the end of Pericles is an enormous distance. Pericles was the only play largely written by Shakespeare not to be included in the 1623 first folio but it appeared in a quarto edition in 1608.

Abstract In every sense a special case, William Shakespeare (1563–1616) stands at the centre of the new early modern England that is emerging as a site of religious struggle and redeWnition. While there is no conclusive evidence for Shakespeare’s own religious convictions and practices, scholars now take more seriously Richard Davies ‘ late 17th-c. comment, ‘He died a papist ‘, and recognize the circumstantial evidence in favour of Roman Catholicism. Stratford-upon-Avon remained partially loyal to Catholicism as, indeed, did Warwick-shire, home to the Coventry mystery plays, an early dramatic inXuence on Shakespeare.
