Neví se kdy přesně se narodil odhaduje se 23.4.1564, jisté je však pouze to že byl pokřtěn 26.4.1564. Narodil se v Anglii ve Stratfordu nad Avonou. Před rokem 1592 se Shakespeare připojil ke kočovným divadelníkům. Roku 1592 přišel do Londýna, kde hrál v různých divadelních společnostech. Stal se také spolumajitelem divadla. V letech 1593 až 1594 ale byla londýnská divadla zavřena kvůli epidemii moru. Shakespeare psal poezii pod ochranou hraběte Southamptonstého. Po této epidemii se stal členem nové divadelní společnosti Služebníci lorda komořího (Lord Chamberlain s Men), kde půspbil jako herec a dramatik. Když roku 1613 Divadlo Globe vyhořelo, přesunula se společnost do divadla Blackfriars. Pro Shakespeara však končí dramatiská tvorba a zanedlouho se vrací za manželkou a dcerami do svého rodiště, kde zůstane až do své smrti. Shakespeare umírá 23.4.1616, zrovna na svoje narozeniny.

King John - William Shakespeare
King John - today remembered as the villainous opponent of Robin Hood and the Magna Carta - was for Shakespeare and his audience a heroic figure who stood up to England s enemies. This Penguin Shakespeare edition is edited by R. L. Smallwood with an introduction by Eugene Giddens. This England never did, nor never shall,Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror Under the rule of King John, England is forced into war when the French challenge the legitimacy of John s claim to the throne and determine to install his nephew Arthur in his place. But political principles, hypocritically flaunted, are soon forgotten, as the French and English kings form an alliance based on cynical self-interest. And as the desire to cling to power dominates England s paranoid and weak-willed king, his country is threatened with disaster. This book contains a general introduction to Shakespeare s life and Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to Richard II, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary. William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote about 38 plays (the precise number is uncertain), many of which are regarded as the most exceptional works of drama ever produced, including Romeo and Juliet (1595), Henry V (1599), Hamlet (1601), Othello (1604), King Lear (1606) and Macbeth (1606), as well as a collection of 154 sonnets, which are among the most profound and influential love poetry in English.

On King Lear, The Confessions, and Human Experience and Nature - Kim Paffenroth
Augustineâ ™s Confessions and Shakespeareâ ™s King Lear are two of the most influential and enduring works of the Western canon or world literature. But what does Stratford-upon-Avon have to do with Hippo, or the ascetical heretic-fighting polemicist with the author of some of the worldâ ™s most beautiful love poetry? To answer these questions, Kim Paffenroth analyses the similarities and differences between the thinking of these two figures on the themes of love, language, nature and reason. Pairing and connecting the insights of Shakespeareâ ™s most nihilist tragedy with those of Augustineâ ™s most personal and sometimes self-condemnatory, sometimes triumphal work, challenges us to see their worldviews as more similar than they first seem, and as more relevant to our own fragmented and disillusioned world.

Shakespeare and Science - Tom Rutter
As a figurehead for the literary humanities, and a dramatist whose plays feature fairies, ghosts, and spirits, Shakespeare may not be the first author that comes to mind when thinking about science. Tom Rutter shows, however, that in his plays and poetry Shakespeare made detailed use of the knowledge and theories of the cosmos, the natural world, and human biology that were available to him. These range from astronomical and anatomical ideas derived from medieval scholars, Islamic philosophers, and ancient Greek and Roman authorities, through to the challenges issued to those earlier models by more recent figures such as Copernicus and Vesalius. Shakespeare s treatment of these materials was informed by the poetic and dramatic media in which he worked; the dialogic nature of drama enabled an approach that could be provisional, exploratory, and tolerant of uncertainty and contradiction. Shakespeare made the early modern playhouse a venue for the production of scientific understanding through performance, illusion, and the creative use of space.As well as surveying current scholarship that contextualizes Shakespeare s work in relation to histories of meteorology, matter theory, humoral physiology, racialization, mathematics, and more, Shakespeare and Science offers detailed original readings of a variety of texts including the Histories, Hamlet, Antony and Cleopatra, Othello, King Lear, The Tempest, the Sonnets, and Lucrece. It also makes extensive reference to works by Shakespeare s near-contemporaries such as Robert Recorde, William Fulke, Juan Huarte, and Thomas Elyot. Its four chapters focus on astronomy and meteorology, matter, the body, and mathematics. Rutter s overall approach is informed by recent studies that interrogate science as a concept, and that question both the boundary between literature and science and the idea of a seventeenth-century scientific revolution .

Shakespeare is Hard, but so is Life - Fintan O
The works of Shakespeare have become staples of literature. They are everywhere, from our early schooling to the lecture rooms of academia, from classic theatre to modern adaptations on stage and screen. But how well do we really know his plays?In this witty, iconoclastic book, the bestselling author Fintan Oâ ™Toole examines four of Shakespeareâ ™s most enduring tragedies: Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello and King Lear. He shows how their tragic heroes have been over-simplified and moulded to fit restrictive, conservative values, and restores the true heart and spirit of the classics. I ve never read a book like this before: it s challenging, irreverent and funny. Roddy Doyle

King Henry VIII; or All is True - William Shakespeare
Men s evil manners live in brass, their virtuesWe write in water. Henry VIII or All is True is Shakespeare s retelling of one of the defining periods in English history: the marriage and divorce of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon. Written in the wake of the sudden death of Henry Stuart, King James I and VI s oldest son and heir, Shakespeare s most contemporary history play offers provocative parallels between the Tudor past and Stuart present. The play examines the rise and fall of Cardinal Wolsey, Thomas Cranmer, and Anne Boleyn, providing both a meditation on history as a narrative dictated by Church and State, and on the tragic lives of those who become collateral damage to greater forces.The New Oxford Shakespeare offers authoritative editions of Shakespeare s works with introductory materials designed to encourage new interpretations of the plays and poems. Using the text from the landmark The New Oxford Shakespeare Complete Works: Modern Critical Edition, these volumes offer readers the latest thinking on the authentic texts (collated from all surviving original versions of Shakespeare s work) alongside innovative introductions from leading scholars.
