Shakespeare's Cultural Capital by Dominic Shellard,Siobhan Keenan Pdf
Shakespeare is a cultural phenomenon and arguably the most renowned playwright in history. In this edited collection, Shellard and Keenan bring together a collection of essays from international scholars that examine the direct and indirect economic and cultural impact of Shakespeare in the marketplace in the UK and beyond. From the marketing of Shakespeare’s plays on and off stage, to the wider impact of Shakespeare in fields such as education, and the commercial use of Shakespeare as a brand in the advertising and tourist industries, this volume makes an important contribution to our understanding of the Shakespeare industry 400 years after his death. With a foreword from the celebrated cultural economist Bruno Frey and nine essays exploring the cultural and economic impact of Shakespeare in his own day and the present, Shakespeare’s Cultural Capital forms a unique offering to the study of cultural economics and Shakespeare.
The Plays of William Shakespeare: A Modernized Compilation by William Shakespeare Pdf
William Shakespeare – born in April 1564 in Stratford on Avon – was the greatest dramatist of the age. By his retirement around 1613, he had created a body of literature unparalleled in its brilliance and impact on the English language. His plays featured rich prose and poetry, complex characters, and explorations of universal themes. They introduced many new words and phrases into the language and set high standards for writers of dramatic verse everywhere. Shakespeare wrote in various genres and styles. Many of the plays combined comedy, real history, romance, and misfortune. This expanded the dramatic possibilities. On top of this, the playwright constantly experimented and innovated to create an artistic product that satisfied mixed audiences. These positive features or selling points of Shakespeare’s plays helped boost the theatre in general as a medium of mass entertainment. Plays became popular across-the-board – attracting all kinds of people and firmly establishing the theatre as a central cultural institution. Large audiences continue to patronize the great Shakespeare plays in live and filmed versions today – notably · "A Midsummer Night's Dream" – the whimsical comedy with several intertwining plots surrounding a celebrity marriage; · “Hamlet” – the story of a Prince of Denmark grappling with the death of his father and seeking revenge against a murdering uncle; · "Henry IV, Part 1" and "Henry IV, Part 2" – following the political struggles of King Henry IV and the coming-of-age of his son, Prince Hal, who later became Henry V; · “King Lear” – the aging king whose decision to divide his kingdom among his three daughters has tragic effects; · "Much Ado About Nothing", with its themes of love and deception, witty banter, and humorous misunderstandings throughout; · “Othello”, exploring themes of jealousy, betrayal, and racism in the tragic story of a Moorish general; · "Richard III", depicting the rise and fall of a scheming, manipulative, and murderous English monarch; · "The Tempest" exploring themes of magic, betrayal, and forgiveness on a remote island; · "The Winter's Tale" combining misfortune and comedy with a story line spanning a long period and strong themes of jealousy and redemption; and · "Twelfth Night" – the compelling tale of mistaken identity and love featuring a young woman disguise d as a man. However, four centuries-plus have inevitably lessened the readability and understandability of the original literary productions. This is a modernized compilation of the dramas – seeking to cut out archaic words, outdated grammar and spelling, and complex old-fashioned syntax while preserving their essence. Concise study guides go with each of the plays. These provide details of their dates (where available) and the complex characters and important events occurring in them. They also summarize the overall themes and plots and assess their general significance as pieces of dramatic art.
Shakespeare's Industry (Classic Reprint) by Mrs. C. C. Stopes Pdf
Excerpt from Shakespeare's Industry Shakespearean writers are wont to make apologies for the books they add to the pile, pending the passing of the proposed Bill that the Censor should be given powers to stay for nine years at the printers, all Shakespeare books which have not taken nine years at least in the writing. My apology is this, that for more than nine years I had been collecting materials for a book., which I meant to appear in Shakespeare's Commemoration year. Fate has made it impossible to finish it in time (perhaps impossible to finish it at all). But in defiance I said to myself that a book there should be, and I have brought together a series of papers, new and old, all bearing to some extent upon our great Poet. I have always tried to specialise in studies relating to his personal character, so that I may as much as possible understand the man. For this purpose I had brought out a twin volume in 1914, called (for lack of a better title) e Shakespeare's Environment.' This present one sticks more closely to its title of 'Shakespeare's Industry.' It was difficult for myself or my fellow-students to bring together my various papers, scattered in many periodicals, and it is the general idea which one requires to follow. Every one of the papers, at the time of publication, contained something new. These little new points are of some importance taken together, even to those who only borrow their work, for they may be used, fragments as they are, to design a beautiful mosaic. But to those who do all their work for themselves, these little points are found to be living seeds, which may be planted and bear fruit. The introduction of some of the articles under the title may be criticised. I acknowledge this. The first part of my Macbeth paper, for instance, has no bearing on Shakespeare, but on Macbeth. But the second part of the paper, on the contrary, discusses Shakespeare and his Industry, and his conception of Macbeth.

The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Social Justice by David Ruiter Pdf
The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Social Justice is a wide-ranging, authoritative guide to research on Shakespeare and issues of social justice and arts activism by an international team of leading scholars, directors, arts activists, and educators. Across four sections it explores the relevance and responsibility of art to the real world ? to the significant teaching and learning, performance and practice, theory and economies that not only expand the discussion of literature and theatre, but also open the gates of engagement between the life of the mind and lived experience. The collection draws from noted scholars, writers and practitioners from around the globe to assert the power of art to question, disrupt and re-invigorate both the ties that bind and the barriers that divide us. A series of interviews with theatre practitioners and scholars opens the volume, establishing an initial portfolio of areas for research, exploration, and change. In Section 2 'The Practice of Shakespeare and Social Justice' contributors examine Shakespeare's place and possibilities in intervening on issues of race, class, gender and sexuality. Section 3 'The Performance of Shakespeare and Social Justice' traces Shakespeare and social justice in multiple global contexts; engaging productions grounded in the politics of Mexico, India, South Africa, China and aspects of Asian politics broadly, this section illuminates the burgeoning field of global production while keeping as a priority the political structures that make advocacy and resistance possible. The last section on 'Economies of Shakespeare' describes socio-economic and community issues that come to light in Shakespeare, and their potential to catalyse ongoing discussion and change in respect to wealth, distribution, equity, and humanity. An annotated bibliography provides further guidance to those researching the subject.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE’S POETRY by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE Pdf
In the ISR Modernized Poetic Masterpieces series – beautifully readable modern prose translations of the Bard’s songs, sonnets, speeches, and narrative poems This is a collection of Shakespeare’s songs, sonnets, speeches, and narrative poems in modern prose format. The aim has been to make these parts of Shakespeare’s works more accessible and understandable for present-day readers. The anthology starts with the songs – trying to clarify the meaning of the compositions without disconnecting from the deep emotions they express. The book then unveils the sonnets in modern idiom. The sonnets are a great artistic treasure trove. We seek to remain faithful to their emotional depth and philosophical themes while making plainer their deep insights into love, beauty, and human sentiments. The anthology next presents an assortment of speeches from Shakespeare’s theatrical plays. Finally, it provides complete modern versions of Shakespeare’s major narrative poems. These pieces blend captivating storytelling and poetic finesse. Once again, we have sought to preserve their essence while providing a smoother and more enjoyable reading experience.
