richard iii william shakespeare

Written in the early 1590s, Shakespeare s version of the story of Richard III, more properly known as The Tragedy of Richard the Third, depicts events that happened more than a century before. The story is based on the unfinished History of Richard III by Sir Thomas More, writing as the Tudor dynasty was seeking to consolidate its position. Shakespeare portrays his usurping, hunchbacked Richard as truly villainous, with few redeeming features. Yet as he strives to consolidate power, he is a compelling and charismatic character, delivering some of Shakespeare s most memorable lines. As well as the play itself, this edition contains: • An extended introduction that looks at the play s history, its structure, and characters• A glossary of words and terms• Notes on the text • A timeline of William Shakespeare s life and work

Richard III is one of the finest of Shakespeareâ ™s historical dramas. Although it has a huge cast, Richard himself, gleefully wicked, charismatically Machiavellian, always dominates the play: a role to gratify such leading actors as David Garrick, Laurence Olivier, Anthony Sher, Ian McKellen and Al Pacino. Since, in real life, political Machiavellianism is never out of date, Richard III remains perennially topical. Numerous revivals on stage and screen have demonstrated the enduring cogency of this drama about the lethally corrupting quest for power.Richard III is the twenty-first play in the Wordsworth Classicsâ ™ Shakespeare Series. The Times Literary Supplement says: â ˜Many students and ordinary readers will be grateful to Watts and his publishers for making such useful editions available at such low cost.â ™

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex.Richard II is one of Shakespeareâ ™s finest works: lucid, eloquent, and boldly structured. It can be seen as a tragedy, or a historical play, or a political drama, or as one part of a vast dramatic cycle which helped to generate Englandâ ™s national identity. Today, to some of us, Richard II may appear conservative; but, in Shakespeareâ ™s day, it could appear subversive: â ˜I am Richard IIâ ™, declared an indignant Queen Elizabeth.Numerous recent revivals in the theatre and on screen have demonstrated the enduring power and poignancy of this drama of the downfall of an egoistic but pitiable monarch.Richard II is the seventeenth volume in the Wordsworth Classicsâ ™ Shakespeare Series, in which each volume has been freshly edited by Cedric Watts.

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.

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.

The Wordsworth Classics Shakespeare s Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare s works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. The Tempest is the most lyrical, profound and fascinating of Shakespeare s late comedies. Prospero, long exiled from Italy with his daughter Miranda, seeks to use his magical powers to defeat his former enemies. Eventually, having proved merciful, he divests himself of that magic, his `art , and prepares to return to the mainland. The Tempest has often been regarded as Shakespeare s `farewell to the stage before his retirement. In the past, critics emphasised the romantically beautiful features of The Tempest, seeing it as an imaginative fantasia. In recent decades, however, The Tempest has also been treated as a potently political drama which offers controversial insights into colonialism and racism. Frequently staged and diversely filmed, the play has influenced numerous poets and novelists.

This is an intense drama of love, deception, jealousy and destruction. Desdemonaâ ™s love for Othello, the Moor, transcends racial prejudice; but the envious Iago conspires to devastate their lives. In its vivid rendering of racism, sexism, contested identities, and the savagery lurking within civilisation, Othello is arguably the most topical and accessible tragedy from Shakespeareâ ™s major phase as a dramatist.

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex.The Wordsworth Classics Shakespeare Series, with Henry V as its inaugral volume, presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare s works. The textual editing endeavours to take account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.Henry V is the most famous and influential of Shakespeare s history plays. Its powerful patriotic rhetoric has resounded down the ages, gaining eloquent expression in Laurence Olivier s renowned film. Henry himself, astute and charismatic, who led his â ˜band of brothersâ ™ to victory in the Battle of Agincourt, could indeed seem to be â ˜this star of Englandâ ™. In recent decades the play has attracted increasing critical attention and is now highly controversial. Kenneth Branagh s film-production reflected the changing valuation. Does this play have a sceptical sub-text which subverts its patriotism? Is Henry s achievement beset by irony? Has current scepticism distorted a predominantly and proudly nationalistic drama? Henry V demonstrates Shakespeare s acclaimed ability to bring new complexity to the material that he adapted, so that different eras may find within his work the familiar and the strange, the congenial and the harsh, the sustaining and the challenging.

With an Introduction by Tim Cook.Shakespeare s sonnets have an intensity of both feeling and meaning unmatched in English sonnet form. They divide into two parts; the first 126 sonnets are addressed to a fair youth for whom the poet has an obsessive love and the second chronicles his love for the notorious Dark Lady .In addition to the sonnets, this volume includes Shakespeare s two lengthy narrative poems on classical themes, The Rape of Lucrece which looks forward to the dark imagery of Macbeth, and Venus and Adonis which mixes ribaldry and tragedy in unique Shakespearean manner. The Phoenix and the Turtle is a beautiful metaphysical and allegorical short elegy, and takes its place with Shakespeare s better-known poetry.
