Shakespeare's Cats by William Shakespeare Pdf

A journey through the Bard’s poetry with fun facts—and furry felines. Join a band of curious cats for a journey through William Shakespeare’s 154 sonnets. Whether it’s friendship, beauty, love, or something saucier, the Bard of Avon has a sonnet for every occasion. Learn what the sonnets mean and read fun facts about the poet, witches, Elizabethan life, and the unfortunate hygiene habits of the sixteenth century. Despite being written four hundred years ago, the sonnets speak to the eternal ups and downs of anyone in love and the struggle to fight our mortality with art. And, many centuries later, we have something else in common with Elizabethans: we find kittens to be utterly adorable.

Why are certain words used as insults in Shakespeare's world and what do these words do and say?

Shakespeare and Animals by Karen Raber,Karen Edwards Pdf

This encyclopaedic account of animals in Shakespeare's plays and poems, provides readers with a much-needed resource by which to navigate the recent outpouring of critical and historical work on the topic. This dictionary extends its coverage to include insects, fish and mythic creatures, as well as the places, practices and lore pertaining to all animal-oriented experiences of early modern life. It emphasizes the role of animality in defining character, and is attentive to the instabilities of the human-animal boundary as they were theatrically represented, exploited and interrogated, but it is also concerned with the material presence of animals on stage and in everyday life in Shakespeare's world. The volume is a new tool for instructors, but is also a resource for critics and scholars in the many disciplines engaged with animal studies, posthumanist theory, ecostudies and cultural studies.

Shakespeare and Ecofeminist Theory by Jennifer Munroe,Rebecca Laroche Pdf

Ecofeminism has been an important field of theory in philosophy and environmental studies for decades. It takes as its primary concern the way the relationship between the human and nonhuman is both material and cultural, but it also investigates how this relationship is inherently entangled with questions of gender equity and social justice. Shakespeare and Ecofeminist Theory engagingly establishes a history of ecofeminist scholarship relevant to early modern studies, and provides a clear overview of this rich field of philosophical enquiry. Through fresh, detailed readings of Shakespeare's poetry and drama, this volume is a wholly original study articulating the ways in which we can better understand the world of Shakespeare's plays, and the relationships between men, women, animals, and plants that we see in them.

Cats' Tales from Shakespeare by William Shakespeare,Margaret Woodhouse Pdf

Margaret Woodhouse, much-loved author and illustrator of Know Your Cat's Purr Points, uses her clever insights into feline behaviour to capture the spirit of Shakespeare's most rousing verses in cat form. This is a charmingly illustrated and colourful book that will delight and amuse cat lovers and Shakespeare buffs alike. William Shakespeare saw the theatre in cats. Knowing their love of stealth tactics -- 'The cat, with eyne of burning coal, Now couches fore the mouse's hole' -- and their talent for gripping their audience -- 'Tom will make them weep and wail' -- Shakespeare penned some of his most magnificent words with the feline performer in mind. Now, at last, this feline theatre is being brought alive on page. Cats' Tales from Shakespeare is a superb collection of transmogrifications, and the witty illustrations that accompany Shakespeare's most rousing verses show just how gifted our moggy companions are.

Shakespeare's Demonology by Marion Gibson,Jo Ann Esra Pdf

Is postdramatic theatre political and if so how? How does it relate to Brecht's ideas of political theatre, for example? How can we account for the relationship between aesthetics and politics in new forms of theatre, playwriting, and performance? The chapters in this book discuss crucial aspects of the issues raised by the postdramatic turn in theatre in the late twentieth and early twenty-first century: the status of the audience and modes of spectatorship in postdramatic theatre; the political claims of postdramatic theatre; postdramatic theatre's ongoing relationship with the dramatic tradition; its dialectical qualities, or its eschewing of the dialectic; questions of representation and the real in theatre; the role of bodies, perception, appearance and theatricality in postdramatic theatre; as well as subjectivity and agency in postdramatic theatre, dance and performance. Offering analyses of a wide range of international performance examples, scholars in this volume engage with Hans-Thies Lehmann's theoretical positions both affirmatively and critically, relating them to other approaches by thinkers ranging from early theorists such as Brecht, Adorno and Benjamin, to contemporary thinkers such as Fischer-Lichte, Rancière and others
