Some say that the play is cursed because of the way in which it portrays the witches and so tradition has it that the name of the play should not be spoken in theatre; instead it is referred to simply as ‘the Scottish play’. *** The Scottish play begins with the brief appearance of a trio of witches who act as the narrators for this version of the play, appearing between each scene. It then moves to a military camp, where the Scottish King Duncan hears the news that his generals, Macbeth, and Banquo, have defeated two separate invading armies—one from Ireland and one from Norway.

  • There Are Various Ways of Sourcing Books to Read During the Lockdown
    There are various ways of sourcing books to read during the lockdown. You may have borrowed a lot from the school library, or may have lots at home. I’ve listed a selection of suggested good reads: some brand new, some classics, some long, some short. I hope there will be a good selection, with something for everyone. I’ll send five more each week. Next to each book, I have shown its price on Amazon. Any classics should be able to be downloaded on to a Kindle App for free. It is possible to join Buckinghamshire Libraries from home: https://buckinghamshire.spydus.co.uk/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/MSGTRN/WPAC/JOIN from which you can download books using the Libby App: https://www.overdrive.com/apps/libby/?utm_origin=lightning&utm_page_genre=tout&u tm_list=meet_libby&utm_content=libby_tout_learnmore_06019018 This is another good way of accessing books for free. WEEK 1 RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Noughts and Crosses by Malorie lackman. 2001. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Noughts-Crosses-Book- ebook/dp/B0031RS5YC/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1U8RFQMEE056F&dchild=1&keywords= noughts+and+crosses+malorie+blackman&qid=1585734994&s=books&sprefix=n ought+and%2Cstripbooks%2C169&sr=1-1 A story of star-crossed young lovers caught up in an alternative reality, where the whites are the Nought underclass and Crosses are the powerful black rulers. When published, this book tackled discrimination in a way that no other book for teenagers had done before. It has recently been televised in a 6 part series: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p082w992, but do make sure you read it before watching it to really get the full impact.

Rabillard, Supervisor (Department of English) Dr. Janelle Jenstad, Departmental Member (Department of English) Dr. Michael Best, Departmental Member (Department of English) Dr. Annalee Lepp, Outside Member (Department of Women’s Studies) Abstract The temptation to meddle with Shakespeare has proven irresistible to playwrights since the Restoration and has inspired some of the most reviled and most respected works of theatre. Nahum Tate’s tragic-comic King Lear (1681) was described as an execrable piece of dementation, but played on London stages for one hundred and fifty years. David Garrick was equally tempted to adapt King Lear in the eighteenth century, as were the burlesque playwrights of the nineteenth. In the twentieth century, the meddling continued with works like King Lear’s Wife (1913) by Gordon Bottomley and Dead Letters (1910) by Maurice Baring.

  • CAMBRIDGE LIBRARY COLLECTION Books of Enduring Scholarly Value

Ranging from Old English to Shakespeare to early twentieth-century work from around the world, these books offer a valuable resource for scholars in reception history, textual editing, and literary studies. The Bowdler Shakespeare ‘The Family Shakspeare: in which nothing is added to the original text, but those words and expressions are omitted which cannot with propriety be read in family.’ These words on the title pages of this edition gave rise to the verb ‘to bowdlerise’ - to remove or modify text which was considered vulgar or objectionable. Thomas Bowdler (1754-1825) was a man of independent means who studied medicine but, instead of practising as a doctor, devoted his time to prison reform, chess and the sanitising of Shakespeare. The first edition of the Family Shakespeare was published in 1818, and Bowdler’s work became enormously popular as the scandal-ridden Regency gave way to Victorian respectability. This volume, from the 1853 edition, contains The Tempest, Two Gentlemen of Verona, The Merry Wives of Windsor, Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure, Much Ado about Nothing and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-108-00108-3 - The Bowdler Shakespeare, Volume 1 William Shakespeare Frontmatter More information Cambridge University Press has long been a pioneer in the reissuing of out-of- print titles from its own backlist, producing digital reprints of books that are still sought after by scholars and students but could not be reprinted economically using traditional technology.

After setting his alarm clock for 1 a.m. for all of those years, Kasell has finally decided to sleep in. Last month he hung up his microphone and retired from his newscaster responsibilities. A veteran broadcaster with a career spanning more than 50 years, Kasell became a part-time NPR newscaster in 1975, and joined the staff full-time in 1977. He did the first newscast of Morning Edition in 1979 and has been a fixture of the program ever since. To tens of thousands of NPR listeners, it was Kasell who broke the news of such gripping events as the fall of the Berlin Wall and the terrorist attacks of Sept 11, 2001.

    Discussion Guide By TERRY PRATCHETT ABOUT THE BOOK A young street urchin comes to the aid of a seemingly helpless young woman, beginning his meteoric ascent through London society as he rubs shoulders with the likes of Charles Dickens, Benjamin Disraeli, and Sweeney Todd. With his characteristic wit and boundless imagination, Terry Pratchett delivers a tale of London in the Victorian Age, and of a young man who must navigate its seamy underbelly—not just the ancient Roman sewers but the dangerous world of greed, crime, and politics. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Discuss a woman’s place in society during telling people that they are downtrodden, the Victorian Age.
