Shakespeare and the History of Soliloquies by James E. Hirsh Pdf

Provides the first systematic and comprehensive account of the conventions governing soliloquies in Western drama from ancient times to the twentieth century. Over the course of theatrical history, there have been several kinds of soliloquies. Shakespeare's soliloquies are not only the most interesting and the most famous, but also the most misunderstood, and several chapters examine them in detail. The present study is based on a painstaking analysis of the actual practices of dramatists from each age of theatrical history. This investigation has uncovered evidence that refutes long-standing commonplaces about soliloquies in general, about Shakespeare's soliloquies in particular, and especially about the to be, or not to be episode. 'Shakespeare and the history of Soliloquies' casts new lights on historical changes in the artistic representation of human beings and, because representations cannot be entirely disentangled from perception, on historical changes in the ways human beings have perceived theselves.

Shakespearean Inside by Marcus Nordlund Pdf

The Shakespearean Inside is a study of all soliloquies and solo asides (dubbed "e;insides"e; for short) in Shakespeare's complete plays. The first step in the research process was the creation of the Shakespearean Inside Database (SID) where these speeches were annotated according to variables of genuine literary interest (such as act, dramatic subgenre, probable time of composition, dramatic speech acts, selected figures of speech, and character attributes such as gender and class). Such comprehensive and detailed data makes it possible to generalize dependably about Shakespeare's authorial habits, and, by extension, to identify situations where the author departs in interesting ways from his habitual practices. The monograph uses these broad patterns and significant exceptions as a backdrop for fresh interpretations of various Shakespeare plays (from early works such as The Taming of the Shrew and The Two Gentlemen of Verona to mature tragedies like Hamlet and late plays like The Tempest and The Two Noble Kinsmen).

Modern Hamlets and Their Soliloquies by Mary Zenet Maher Pdf

In "Modern Hamlets and Their Soliloquies" (Iowa, 1992), Mary Maher examined how modern actors have chosen to perform HamletOCOs soliloquies, and why they made the choices they made, within the context of their specific productions of the play. Adding to original interviews with, among others, Derek Jacobi, David Warner, Kevin Kline, and Ben Kingsley, "Modern Hamlets and Their Soliloquies: An Expanded Edition" offers two new and insightful interviews, one with Kenneth Branagh, focusing on his 1997 film production of the play, and one with Simon Russell Beale, discussing his 2000-2001 run as Hamlet at the Royal National Theatre."

Reading Shakespeare's Soliloquies by Neil Corcoran Pdf

'Now I am alone,' says Hamlet before speaking a soliloquy. But what is a Shakespearean soliloquy? How has it been understood in literary and theatrical history? How does it work in screen versions of Shakespeare? What influence has it had? Neil Corcoran offers a thorough exploration and explanation of the origin, nature, development and reception of Shakespeare's soliloquies. Divided into four parts, the book supplies the historical, dramatic and theoretical contexts necessary to understanding, offers extensive and insightful close readings of particular soliloquies and includes interviews with eight renowned Shakespearean actors providing details of the practical performance of the soliloquy. A comprehensive study of a key aspect of Shakespeare's dramatic art, this book is ideal for students and theatre-goers keen to understand the complexities and rewards of Shakespeare's unique use of the soliloquy.

The Soliloquies of Shakespeare by Morris Leroy Arnold Pdf

Excerpt from The Soliloquies of Shakespeare: A Study in Technic In the first place, this, so far as I know, is the only collective study of all of Shakespeare's soliloquies. Again, with sur prisingly few exceptions this is the only technical examination of any of Shakespeare s soliloquies. Finally, although the soliloquy as a convention has been frequently treated of late years in some valuable magazine articles at home and some lengthy monographs abroad, this discussion really adds to our knowledge of the soliloquy. There is a new treatment, I be lieve, of the following topics: (i) definition of the soliloquy; (2) the data of Chapter II; (3) the expository soliloquy as a means of identification and disguising; (4) the soliloquy as an explanation of accompanying business, - such as sleep, sui cide and death, - as an accompaniment of an entrance and of an exit, and as the unconscious entrance (5) the classifica tion and analysis of Shakespeare's comic soliloquies, showing their relation to conventional types; and (6) the collective study of Shakespeare's tragic soliloquies as revelations of thought and feeling, and, in particular, these aspects of the convention, - the apology for the introspective soliloquy, text ual indications of introspection, the setting of the introspective soliloquy, and the trance also, the evolution of the moraliz ing in Shakespeare's soliloquies, and the classification of the passions depicted by Shakespeare's soliloquizers. Notwith standing the analytical method of this investigation, I trust that I have not entirely failed to rise to the height of this great argument.
