Pochybnosti o autorství Sonetů a her přisuzovaných W. Shakespearovi jsou starého data; výborně shrnuté je najdete v knize anglistky P. Váňové Identita génia - Shakespeare / Oxford. Sonety byly vydány beze jména autora roku 1609 a Shakespeare se k nim nehlásil. Věnování anonymního nakladatele hovoří o našem nesmrtelném básníkovi, pak musel být básník v roce vydání Sonetů mrtev, neboť nesmrtelnými či věčně živými jsou nazýváni již mrtví velikáni.Divadelní podnikatel Shakespeare však zemřel až v dubnu 1616! Zato ten, koho označují J. T. Looney, Charles Ogburn či Minos D. Miller za pravého autora Shakespearových her i Sonetů, totiž Edward de Vere, 17. hrabě z Oxfordu, zemřel již roku 1604.

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.

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.

The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.Othello has long been recognised as one of the most powerful of Shakespeareâ ™s tragedies. 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. Productions on stage and screen regularly renew its power to engross, impress and trouble the imagination.

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.

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

In the theatre, it has been treated in a diversity of ways, so that Kateâ ™s apparent capitulation varies between the ironic and the sincere. Feminists have been divided in their responses. The provocative vitality of this comedy has been transmitted by numerous adaptations for stage and screen, notably the film directed by Franco Zeffirelli and the Cole Porter musical, Kiss Me, Kate.

The Royal Shakespeare Company s choice of The Two Noble Kinsmen to open the Swan Theatre in 1986 demonstrated that this long-neglected play has at last come into its own as a stageworthy, humorous, and moving dramatization of the conflicting claims of love and friendship. It was first published in 1634 as `by the memorable worthies of their time, Mr John Fletcher, and Mr William Shakespeare, Gent and was probably first performed soon after the wedding of Princess Elizabeth, daughter of the company s patron James I, to the Elector Palatine in February 1613. The exceptionally full introduction to this edition explains the relevance to the play of ideas of chivalry and of the classical idea of friendship. The edition (which is illuminatingly illustrated) also offers a discussion of the centuries-long debate about the play s authorship and a clarification of its stage action.
