Books by William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare - Chandos Portrait (PD)
William Shakespeare's plays and poems shaped English culture and language more than any other writer. His work spans tragedy, comedy and timeless poetry.
From Hamlet to Macbeth, Shakespeare's insights into love, power and fate remain unmatched centuries later.
A great place to start with William Shakespeare is Romeo and Juliet, while a lesser-known gem worth discovering is Cymbeline.

    Book SynopsisKarl Klein introduces Shakespeare's late play as a complex exploration of a corrupt, moneyed society. He argues that evidence for other authors is inconclusive and shows the play to be neither tragedy, satire nor comedy, but a subtle and complete drama whose main characters contain elements of all three genres.Table of ContentsList of illustrations; List of abbreviations and conventions; Introduction: date, the play and its themes, critical approaches, the play on the stage, the 1999 RSC production (A.

    Book SynopsisThis new edition of Shakespeare's Cymbeline foregrounds the elements of romance, tragicomedy and Jacobean stagecraft which together shape the play; it also acknowledges the postmodern indeterminacy of the play's key moments.

  • Cambridge University Press King Henry V

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis is the first stage history of Shakespeare''s King Henry V to cover the play''s theatrical life since its first performance in 1599. Staging this play has always been a political act, and the substantial introduction traces its theatrical interventions into conflicts from the Napoleonic Wars to Vietnam and the Falklands crisis, offering a complete account of the play''s fortunes: from its absence in the seventeenth century to its dominant position as historical spectacle in the Victorian period, through twentieth-century productions, which include the popular films by Olivier and Branagh. Together they raise vital interpretative questions: is Henry V an epic of English nationalism, a knowing and cynical piece of power politics, or an anti-war manifesto? The volume also includes the play text, illustrations and detailed footnotes about major performances.Trade Review'I cannot recommend too highly the whole series (a bargain at £16.99 for each play) to all theatre lovers, theatregoers, theatre practitioners, and anybody who enjoys Shakespeare.' Robert Tanitch, What's on in LondonTable of ContentsList of illustrations; Series editors' preface; List of abbreviations; Select chronology of English-language performances; Introduction; King Henry V and commentary; Index.

The commentary is especially full and helpful, untangling many obscure words and phrases, illuminating sexual puns, and alerting the reader to Shakespeare's shaping of his source material Table of ContentsList of illustrations; Preface; List of abbreviations and conventions; Introduction: Date and sources; The contrarieties of critical response; The ironic gap between word and deed; Transcending limits; Genre and structure; Style; Stagecraft; Antony and Cleopatra in performance; Recent critical and stage interpretations; Note on the text; List of characters; THE PLAY; Supplementary note; Textual analysis; Reading list.
