Описание: Julius Caesar`s exciting plot, brilliant rhetoric, and searching characterisation have made it one of Shakespeare`s most popular plays with both readers and theatre-goers. Introducing this thoroughly reconsidered edition, Arthur Humphreys provides a fresh look at the play`s date and its place in the Shakespeare canon and examines Shakespeare`s transmutation of history into drama. He investigates the play`s ethical and moral concerns in a section on Roman values and analyses its fortunes in performance, from its immediately successful first staging to modern productions for cinema, television, and stage.

Описание: Hamlet`s combination of violence and introspection is unusual among Shakespeare`s tragedies. It is also full of curious riddles and fascinating paradoxes, making it one of his most widely discussed plays. Professor Hibbard`s illuminating and original introduction explains the process by which variant texts were fused together in the eighteenth century to create the most commonly used text of today. Drawing on both critical and theatrical history, he shows how this fusion makes Hamlet seem a much more `problematic` play than it was when it originally appeared in the First Folio of 1623. The Oxford Shakespeare edition presents a radically new text, based on that First Folio, which printed Shakespeare`s own revision of an earlier version. The result is a `theatrical` and highly practical edition for students and performers alike.

Описание: In its towering central characters, vast geographical and historical sweep, and its variety of style and mood, Anthony and Cleopatra is perhaps the most ambitious of Shakespeare`s designs. Yet the degree and nature of its success remain surprisingly contentious, and performances of the play have seldom matched the extravagant expectations of its admirers. Michael Neill`s wide-ranging introduction from a number of angles, including those of gender and race. He examines the sources and discusses the theatrical challenge presented by Shakespeare`s technique, with its extraordinary tensions between rhetoric and action. A full stage history further illustrates its theatrical fortunes; both here and in the extensive commentary this edition illuminates the play`s theatrical dimensions as well as the rich complexity of its poeticlanguage.

Описание: Through an examination of five plays by Shakespeare, the author analyzes the contiguous development of common law and poetic drama during the first decade of Jacobean rule. The broad premise of the book is that the 'artificial reason' of law was a complex art form which shared the same rhetorical strategy as the plays of Shakespeare. Common law and Shakespearean drama of this period employed various aesthetic devices to capture the imagination and the emotional attachment of their respective audiences. The common law of the Jacobean era, as spoken in the law courts, learned at the Inns of Court, and recorded in the law reports, used imagery that would have been familiar to audiences at the plays of Shakespeare. In its juridical form, English law was intrinsically dramatic, its adversarial mode of expression being founded on an agonistic model. Conversely, Shakespeare borrowed from the common law some of its most critical themes: justice, legitimacy, sovereignty, community, fairness, and (above all else) humanity. Each chapter investigates a particular aspect of the common law, seen through the lens of a specific play by Shakespeare. Topics include the unprecedented significance of rhetorical skills to the practice and learning of common law (Love's Labour's Lost); the early modern treason trial as exemplar of the theatre of law (Macbeth); the art of law as the legitimate distillation of the law of nature (The Winter's Tale); the efforts of common lawyers to create an image of nationhood from both classical and Judaeo-Christian mythography (Cymbeline); and the theatrical device of the island as microcosm of the Jacobean state and the project of imperial expansion (The Tempest). *** "Raffield's elegant argument is that early modern lawyers learned their tricks and tropes from the theatre, just as much as the thespians came to play the law. Simultaneously erudite and funny, The Art of Law in Shakespeare allows Raffield, himself actor and lawyer, scholar and gentleman, his proper role in both tracking and playing the part of a magistrate of wit." --Professor Peter Goodrich, Cardozo School of Law *** "Paul Raffield's fascinating and illuminating study of the legal issues explored by Shakespeare and his early Jacobean contemporaries is a major contribution to the burgeoning field of law and literature scholarship. Raffield's exploration of cultural history should be of interest to all those interested in early modern English culture." --Professor Barbara Shapiro, UC Berkeley Subject: Legal History, Shakespearean Studies, Literature, Law & Humanities]
