Описание: A THE TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019'The best introduction to the plays I've read, perhaps the best book on Shakespeare, full stop' Alex Preston, Observer'It makes you impatient to see or re-read the plays at once' Hilary MantelA genius and prophet whose timeless works encapsulate the human condition like no others. A writer who surpassed his contemporaries in vision, originality and literary mastery. Who wrote like an angel, putting it all so much better than anyone else.
Is this Shakespeare? Well, sort of. But it doesn't really tell us the whole truth. So much of what we say about Shakespeare is either not true, or just not relevant, deflecting us from investigating the challenges of his inconsistencies and flaws.
This electrifying new book thrives on revealing, not resolving, the ambiguities of Shakespeare's plays and their changing topicality. It introduces an intellectually, theatrically and ethically exciting writer who engages with intersectionality as much as with Ovid, with economics as much as poetry: who writes in strikingly modern ways about individual agency, privacy, politics, celebrity and sex. It takes us into a world of politicking and copy-catting, as we watch him emulating the blockbusters of Christopher Marlowe and Thomas Kyd, the Spielberg and Tarantino of their day; flirting with and skirting round the cut-throat issues of succession politics, religious upheaval and technological change.
The Shakespeare in this book poses awkward questions rather than offering bland answers, always implicating us in working out what it might mean. This is Shakespeare. And he needs your attention.

Описание: Arden Student Guides: Language and Writing offer a new type of study aid which combines lively critical insight with practical guidance on the critical writing skills you need to develop in order to engage fully with Shakespeare’s texts. The books’ core focus is on language: both understanding and enjoying Shakespeare’s complex dramatic language, and expanding your own critical vocabulary, as you respond to his plays. Key features include: an introduction considering when and how the play was written, addressing the language with which Shakespeare created his work, as well as the generic, literary and theatrical conventions at his disposal detailed examination and analysis of the individual text, focusing on its literary, technical and historical intricacies discussion of performance history and the critical reception of the work a ‘Writing matters’ section in every chapter, clearly linking the analysis of Shakespeare’s language to your own writing strategies in coursework and examinations. Written by world-class academics with both scholarly insight and outstanding teaching skills, each guide will empower you to read and write about Shakespeare with increased confidence and enthusiasm. At a climactic point in the play, Macbeth realises that the witches have deceived him through their ambiguous language: ‘they palter with us in a double sense’. This book explores Shakespeare’s own paltering in the play – the densely rich language of ambition, of blood, and of guilt that structures Macbeth.

Описание: A celebration of humanity's long relationship with the book, written with remarkable wit, warmth, reverence, irreverence, erudition, and storytelling panache. Stephen King has referred to books as "uniquely portable magic," and this book is no exception. Portable Magic is a collection of encounters with books over the last millennium and more: from the 8th-century gospel buried with St. Cuthbert on the island of Lindisfarne to the Lithuanian language books smuggled into the Russian empire in the 19th century; from the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, a list of books banned by the Catholic Church over three centuries to Marita, or the Folly of Love, the first work of fiction in English by an African writer (known only as A. Native) to the viral ten books that have stayed with you question that Facebook tallied across the world in 2014; from banned Lady Chatterley's Lover to the billions of copies produced of Mao's Little Red Book; from the Bay Psalm Book (the first book printed in North America) to the manuscript of the early medieval Icelandic sagas known as the Poetic Edda, repatriated from Denmark to Reykjavik in 1971. Throughout, Smith argues that the materiality of the book is inseparable from its content; its smell, weight, cover illustration, associations, and provenance can exert a powerful influence on how we read it. Smith is not so much concerned with different types of books as she is with what we do to them and what we do with them, as companions, lovers, teachers, and priests. She considers, too, religious and spiritual books and the very idea of the book as sacred; the long history of readers and owners marking their books in singular ways; the book as weapon in military and ideological conflict; patterns of ownership and gifting across cultures; the ways in which books are invested with emotional connection by different networks of readers; and how the arrangement of books on a shelf can be startlingly revelatory. Part deep history, part love story, global in its reach but grounded in the everyday, the familiar and the tactile, Portable Magic--like no other book about books--makes us look afresh at this marvelous thing that has become an indispensable part of our lives.

Описание: Here is a true story of how the great nations of America and England almost went to war in 1859 over a pig--but learned to share instead. In 1859, the British and Americans coexist on the small island of San Juan, located off the coast of the Pacific Northwest. They are on fairly good terms--until one fateful morning when an innocent hog owned by a British man has the misfortune to eat some potatoes on an American farmer's land. In a moment of rash anger, Lyman Cutlar shoots Charles Griffin's pig, inadvertently almost bringing the two nations to war. Tensions flare, armies gather, cannons are rolled out . . . all because of a pig Emma Bland Smith's humorous text and Alison Jay's folksy illustrations combine in this whimsical nonfiction picture book that models the principles of peaceful conflict resolution.
