Now, a decade later, her Shakespeare in Shackles program has been lauded by academics and prison communities alike. In this profound illustration of the enduring lessons of Shakespeare through the ten-year relationship of Bates and Newton, an amazing testament to the power of literature emerges. But its not just the prisoners who are transformed. It is a starkly engaging tale, one that will be embraced by anyone who has ever been changed by a book. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1629333 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1729672 El siempre original Arthur Phillips se ha superado a s mismo en este inteligente juego literario, mezcla de narrativa, teatro y autobiografa, con l mismo como socarrn personaje que se infiltra en el mundo de Shakespeare, en la industria editorial y en su propia familia, provocando un divertido efecto. Arthur Phillips y su hermana gemela, Dana, mantienen una relacin poco comn con su padre, tambin llamado Arthur Phillips, un falsificador apasionado por distorsionar y envolver de magia lo cotidiano. A punto de morir, Arthur, padre, le entrega a su hijo una obra maestra de Shakespeare que l mismo ha descubierto luego de que permaneciera oculta durante siglos, y lo invita a editarla. Como albacea literario de este patrimonio, Arthur, hijo, se cuestiona a menudo la autenticidad de la obra, al tiempo que pone en tela de juicio, durante el proceso filolgico que emprende para comprobarla, la fiabilidad de su tan excntrica como disfuncional familia. Porque Arthur est plenamente convencido de que la obra shakespeariana es la mayor estafa llevada a cabo por su padre... -- cover, p. [4]. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1711977 For over 150 years many intelligent, highly educated men and women have questioned whether William Shakespeare wrote the works attributed to him. From an obscure family in a small provincial town, Shakespeare had no formal education after the age of thirteen. His surviving handwriting consists of six signatures on legal documents. His will makes no mention of his books or manuscripts. His two daughters were illiterate. There is, in other words, a seemingly enormous gap between the meagreness of Shakespeares background and his achievements as the greatest and most famous writer in the English language. Over the years, numerous candidates have been proposed as the true author. Often dismissed by the orthodox Shakespeare establishment in Britain and America as crackpots, the Anti-Stratfordians, as they are known, have become increasingly visible and numerous during the past thirty years. Who Wrote Shakespeares Plays? provides a clear, objective guide to the Shakespeare authorship question by examining all of the candidates, including William Shakespeare himself. It is the first book to examine in an objective way the strengths and deficiencies of the arguments for each potential Shakespeare: Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford; Sir Francis Bacon; Christopher Marlowe; William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby; Roger Manners, 5th Earl of Rutland; Mary Sidney; Sir Henry Neville. William Rubinstein goes on to consider William Shakespeare himself in the same objective fashion. This book is a fascinating, comprehensive, and up-to-date look at one of historys greatest mysteries. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1393880 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1304101 Looks at the roles of justice and law in the lives of modern-day people through the lens of Shakespeares plays. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1483614 Hamlet has decided to join Juliet, Othello, Iago, and Falstaff in their rebellion against the powerful forces of Richard III and Lady Macbeth. But the path to their saviour Shakespeare is long and dangerous, and not all are whom they appear to be, least of all the Bard himself. As he crosses the threshold into the Globe Woods Hamlet will find out what nightmares may come when one meets their maker. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1307015 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1254461 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1430208 Using the text from Shakespeares ten Italian Plays, the author determined the exact locations of nearly every scene, recording them in a work thats a combination literary detective story and travelogue. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1498024 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1209608 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1128456 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1090852 Shakespeare scholar James Shapiro explains when and why so many people began to question whether Shakespeare wrote his plays. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1303101 Shakespearean scholar Kate Stanley and Ben Pearl, her partner in crime-solving, find themselves in a desperate race to discover a lost version of Macbeth, said to contain rituals of witchcraft aimed at conjuring demonic forces to gain forbidden knowledge.

This Introduction celebrates the achievement of Shakespeare as a poet, providing students with ways of understanding and enjoying his remarkable poems. It honours the aesthetic and intellectual complexity of the poems without making them seem unapproachably complicated, outlining their exquisite pleasures and absorbing enigmas. Schoenfeldt suggests that todays readers are better able to analyze aspects of the poems that were formerly ignored or the source of scandal - the articulation of a fervent same-sex love, for example, or the incipient racism inherent in a hierarchy of light and dark. By engaging closely with Shakespeares major poems - Venus and Adonis, Lucrece, The Phoenix and the Turtle, the Sonnets and A Lovers Complaint - the Introduction demonstrates how much these extraordinary poems still have to say to us-- http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1195874 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1364751 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1127752 Beauclerk has spent more than two decades researching the authorship question, and he convincingly argues that if the plays and poems of Shakespeare were discovered today, we would see them for what they are--shocking political works written by a court insider, someone whose status and anonymity shielded him from repression in an unstable time of armada and reformation. But the authors unique status and identity were swept under the rug after his death. The official history--of an uneducated Stratfordian merchant writing in obscurity and of a virginal queen married to her country--dominated for centuries. Shakespeares Lost Kingdom delves deep into the conflicts and personalities of Elizabethan England, as well as into the plays themselves, to tell the true story of the Soul of the Age. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1116103 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1058568 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1009574 The history of the Shakespeare controversy is presented in this revised edition of the 1992 work, with new information and additional chapters.

With his trademark wit, Bill Bryson sorts through this colorful muddle to reveal the man himself. Bryson documents the efforts of earlier scholars, and, emulating the style of his travelogues, records episodes in his own research. He celebrates Shakespeare as a writer of unimaginable talent and enormous inventiveness, a coiner of phrases (vanish into thin air, foregone conclusion, one fell swoop) that even today have common currency. His Shakespeare is like no one elses--the beneficiary of Brysons genial nature, his engaging skepticism, and an unrivaled gift for storytelling.--From publisher description. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=811432 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=719446 During the 1967 school year, on Wednesday afternoons when all his classmates go to either Catechism or Hebrew school, seventh-grader Holling Hoodhood stays in Mrs. Bakers classroom where they read the plays of William Shakespeare and Holling learns much of value about the world he lives in. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=700814 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=934413 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=729587 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=753263 Setting itself apart from the usual discussions about Hamlet, Hunt here demonstrates that Hamlet is much more than we take him to be. Much more than the sum of his parts--more than just tragic, sexy youth and more than just vain cruelty--Hamlet is a reflection of our own aspirations and neuroses. This book investigates the many searches for Hamlet, from their origins in Danish mythology through the complex problems of early printed texts, through the centuries of shifting interpretations of the young prince to our own time, when Hamlet is more compelling and perplexing than ever before. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=734881 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=817163 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=688522 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1693185 An authoritative, modernized edition of the complete works of the great Elizabethan dramatist offers the complete texts of every comedy, tragedy, and history play, along with key facts about each work, a plot summary, major roles, sources, textual history, glossaries, and other helpful textual notes. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=735612 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1298368 Tap-tapping the keys and out come the words on this little screen, and who will read them I hardly know. I could be dead by the time anyone actually gets to read them, as dead as, say, Tolstoy. Or Shakespeare. Does it matter, when you read, if the person who wrote still lives? These are the words of Jake Mishkin, whose seemingly innocent job as an intellectual property lawyer has put him at the center of a deadly conspiracy and a chase to find a priceless treasure involving William Shakespeare. As he awaits a killer - or killers - unknown, Jake writes an account of the events that led to this deadly endgame, a frantic chase that began when a fire in an antiquarian bookstore revealed the hiding place of letters containing a shocking secret, concealed for four hundred years. In a frantic race from New York to England and Switzerland, Jake finds himself matching wits with a shadowy figure who seems to anticipate his every move. What at first seems like a thrilling puzzle waiting to be deciphered soon turns into a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, where no one - not family, not friends, not lovers - is to be trusted. Moving between twenty-first-century America and seventeenth-century England, The Book of Air and Shadows is a modern thriller that re-creates William Shakespeares life at the turn of the seventeenth century and combines an intricately layered plot with a devastating portrait of a contemporary man on the brink of self-discovery ... or self-destruction.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=880596 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=641804 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=721486 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=688511 This concise edition and reassessment of Bradleys Shakespearean Tragedy gives ready access to a major work of criticism that deals with matters fundamental to any thoughtful reading of Shakespeares texts. It continues to be informative and challenging more than a hundred years since first publication. In an introduction aimed at present-day students John Russell Brown argues that Bradley anticipated much in recent performance criticism and was unusually perceptive about the plays physical action, multiple meanings, and subtextual life.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=724984 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=721478 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=649079 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=733027 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=658790 Named after a character in a Shakespeare play, misfit sixth-grader Hero becomes interested in exploring this unusual connection because of a valuable diamond supposedly hidden in her new house, an intriguing neighbor, and the unexpected attention of the most popular boy in school. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=634966 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=683381 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=652797 Cultural historian Rosenbaum gives readers a way of rethinking the greatest works of the human imagination, as he shakes up much that we thought we understood about a vital subject and renews our sense of excitement and urgency. Rather than raking over worn-out fragments of biography, Rosenbaum focuses on cutting-edge controversies about the true source of Shakespeares enchantment and illumination--the astonishing language itself. He takes readers into the midst of fierce battles among the most brilliant Shakespearean scholars and directors over just how to delve deeper into the mind of Shakespeare. He makes ostensibly arcane textual scholarship seductive, and he shows us great directors as Shakespearean scholars in their own right. This book offers a thrilling opportunity to engage with Shakespeares work at its deepest levels.--From publisher description. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=682758 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=726679 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=963513 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=608809 Restricted by the authorities from practicing Catholicism and forbidden by her parents from seeing a Puritan boy, Susanna, the daughter of William Shakespeare, vents her anger by writing in a journal and composing a play. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=672517 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=672796 Motivated by scholarship and driven by curiosity, Shakespeare historian Brenda James applied a sixteenth-century code-breaking technique to the dedication of Shakespeares Sonnets. What she uncovered led her to the truth behind literatures greatest mystery. For more than 150 years, academics have questioned how William Shakespeare of Stratford, a man who left school at age thirteen and apparently never traveled abroad, could have written such a broad and deep body of work, one that is said to draw on the largest vocabulary of any writer in the English language. Now, in The Truth Will Out James and history professor William D. Rubinstein explore the facts behind Jamess important findings, detailing how her work on the dedication led to the name Sir Henry Neville, a prominent Elizabethan diplomat whose life unlocked the secrets of the Shakespeare Authorship Question once and for all. Examining the true nature of Shakespeare of Stratfords involvement with the plays, the authors reveal the London actor to be a mere pawn, while Neville, the Oxford-educated ambassador to France and a member of Parliament for twenty-eight years, was actually the Bard. Disguising his authorship to avoid bringing scandal and shame to his family name, Neville spent a great deal of time abroad in Europe, entering a realm of aristocratic intrigue and mystery that provided the foundation for some of his greatest plays. With insightful explanations of never-before-studied documents, James and Rubinstein demonstrate that not only did the refined and worldly Neville know the landscape of Shakespeares plays firsthand but that these works represent a total convergence of the events in Nevilles life. But the evidence proving Nevilles authorship is not merely circumstantial. Comparing mysterious signatures and Nevilles richly woven family lineage, the authors paint a portrait of a man whose claim moves beyond the speculative. An experienced politician, who was well-versed in the intrigues of the Court, Neville was locked away in the Tower of London for his part in the unsuccessful Essex Rebellion against Queen Elizabeth. Using a collection of Nevilles writings from his imprisonment, James and Rubinstein provide an exhaustive cross section of the intrigue surrounding Nevilles life, exposing the events that led to his hidden writings and the cloaking of their true origin.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=686105 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=649044 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=681739 Shakespeare has always been celebrated for the depth of his themes, the vividness of his characters, and the beauty of his poetry. However, the philosophical nature of his opus has often been overlooked. Focusing on Shakespeares six most regarded plays, noted philosopher Colin McGinn provides an analysis of the major philosophical themes embedded in Shakespeares work, including the possibility of human knowledged and the threat of skepticism; the nature and persistence of the self; the character of causation as it shapes human affairs; the existence and nature of evil; and the power of language to influence and shape the human mind.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=673166 Phyllis Rackin challenges a number of current assumptions about Shakespeare and women, including the women in his family, the women who worked in the London theatre industry, the female characters in his plays, and the dark lady of the sonnets. She argues that the current scholarly emphasis on patriarchal power, male misogyny, and womens oppression may tell us more about ourselves than about the world Shakespeare inhabited and the worlds he created in his plays.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=580824 In sixteenth-century England many loyal subjects to the crown were asked to make a terrible choice: serve their monarch or their God. The schism between the Crown and the Catholic Church had widened from a theological dispute in the reign of Henry VIII to bitter political conflict under Elizabeth I. It was also the era of the greatest creative genius the world has ever known: William Shakespeare. How, then, was it possible that such a remarkable man born into such violently volatile times should apparently make no comment about the state of England in his work? He did. But it was hidden. Clare Asquith traces the common code used covertly by dissident writers in the sixteenth century to discuss the tribulations of their time, and reveals that the acknowledged master of this forgotten art form was William Shakespeare. Constantly attacking and exposing a regime that he believed had seized illegal control of the country he loved, Shakespeares work, seen from this new perspective, offers a revelatory insight into the politics and personalities of his era.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=589919 An intimate history of Shakespeare, following him through a single year - 1599 - that changed not only his fortunes but the course of literature. How was Shakespeare transformed from being a talented poet and playwright to become one of the greatest writers who ever lived? In this one exhilarating year we follow what he reads and writes, what he sees, and whom he works with as he invests in the new Globe Theatre and creates four of his most famous plays - Henry the Fifth, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and, most remarkably, Hamlet. James Shapiro illuminates both Shakespeares staggering achievement and what Elizabethans experienced in the course of 1599: sending off an army to crush an Irish rebellion, weathering an Armada threat from Spain, gambling on the fledgling East India Company, and waiting to see who would succeed their aging and childless queen. This book brings the news and intrigue of the times together with an evocation of how Shakespeare worked as an actor, businessman, and playwright.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=567502 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=588356 From the earliest days of the cinema to the present, Shakespeare has offered a tempting bank of source material that the film industry has been happy to plunder. Shakespeare on Film examines an extensive range of films that have emerged from the curious union of an iconic dramatist with a medium of mass appeal. The many films Judith Buchanan studies are shown to be telling indicators of trends in Shakespearean performance interpretation, illuminating markers of developments in the film industry and culturally revealing about broader influences in the world beyond the movie theatre. As with other titles from the Inside Film series, the book is illustrated throughout with stills. Each chapter concludes with a list of suggested further reading in the field.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=555459 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=568593 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=594868 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=580819 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=557422 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1694533 Presents a revised edition of the Shakespeare play wherein The King of France gives Helena the hand of any man she wants in marriage, but the one she chooses, Bertram, flees to Tuscany, and she must use her wits to get him back.
