Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-22277-8 - Love’s Labour’s Lost Edited by William C. Carroll Frontmatter More information THE NEW CAMBRIDGE SHAKESPEARE general editor Brian Gibbons, University of M¨unster associate general editor A. R. Braunmuller, University of California, Los Angeles From the publication of the first volumes in 1984 the General Editor of the New Cambridge Shakespeare was Philip Brockbank and the Associate General Editors were Brian Gibbons and Robin Hood. From 1990 to 1994 the General Editor was Brian Gibbons and the Associate General Editors were A. R. Braunmuller and Robin Hood. LOVE’S LABOUR’S LOST Love’s Labour’s Lost, the first work to bear Shakespeare’s name on its title page, differs greatly from his other early plays, both for its highly unorthodox ending and for its extraordinary use of language. This new edition presents a highly readable, modernized text of the play, freshly edited from the first quarto published in 1598. A thorough but concise scholarly and critical commentary provides exciting new perspectives on Love’s Labour’s Lost, and a comprehensive introduction discusses the significant elements of the play and its place in theatrical history. New critical trends are reflected in the special attention paid to the play’s performance history since 1950, including films and adaptations, with illustrations of several productions. Engaging and illuminating, this will be an invaluable guide for seasoned scholars as well as students approaching the play for the first time. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-22277-8 - Love’s Labour’s Lost Edited by William C.

Molly Mahood pays special attention to the expectations of the play’s first audience, and to our modern experience of seeing and hearing the play. In a substantial new addition to the Introduction, Charles Edelman focuses on the play’s sex- ual politics and recent scholarship devoted to the position of Jews in Shakespeare’s time. He surveys the international scope and diversity of theatrical interpretations of The Merchant in the 1980s and 1990s and their different ways of tackling the troubling figure of Shylock. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-82544-3 - The Merchant of Venice Edited by M.

    EDITING for PERFORMANCE: DR JOHNSON and the STAGE I Want

    Editing for performance... 75 EDITING FOR PERFORMANCE: DR JOHNSON AND THE STAGE Peter Holland Notre Dame University I want to begin by quoting one of Dr Johnson’s notes on Hamlet, a passage that, though entirely characteristic, may be less than familiar to many. Johnson is commenting on the punctuation of a passage and is concerned about a sequence of dashes towards the end of the play: To a literary friend of mine I am indebted for the following very acute observation: “Throughout this play,” says he, “there is nothing more beautiful than these dashes; by their gradual elongation, they distinctly mark the balbuciation and the increasing difficulty of utterance observable in a dying man.” To which let me add, that, although dashes are in frequent use with our tragic poets, yet they are seldom introduced with so good an effect as in the present instance. (qtd. in Wells 1: 69) Johnson’s reliance on others—and their cloaked identity—is something we are used to. So too Johnson’s yearning here both to generalize about tragic practice and to praise the particular local effect in Shakespeare can be paralleled frequently elsewhere. There is that precision that is Ilha do Desterro Florianópolis nº 49 p.075-098 jul./dez. 2005 76 Peter Holland also apparent in Johnson’s note on Ophelia’s reference to “a rope of onions”, a phrase that Pope had suggested emending to “a robe of onions”: Rope is, undoubtedly, the true reading. A rope of onions is a certain number of onions, which, for the convenience of portability, are, by the market-women, suspended from a rope: not, as the Oxford editor ingeniously, but improperly, supposes, in a bunch at the end, but by a perpendicular arrangement.
  • Christopher Marlowe and the Golden Age of England

    Christopher Marlowe and the Golden Age of England

    The Marlowe Society Christopher Marlowe and the Research Journal - Volume 05 - 2008 Golden Age of England Online Research Journal Article Michael J. Kelly Christopher Marlowe and the Golden Age of England Poet, spy and playwright, Christopher Marlowe was the embodiment of the Elizabethan Golden Age. Marlowe’s work was the product of his ‘Erasmian,’ or Christian humanist, education, the state of affairs in England and his own ability and readiness to satirize the world around him. Marlowe and his fellow contemporaries were a testament to the development of English drama, its pinnacle at the end of the English Renaissance and its eventual decline and suppression at the outbreak of the English Civil War. Their work is historically important because it illustrates, in addition to the development of English theatre, the dramatic political and social events of the time through the public medium of the playhouse. Specifically, the development of the theatre helps explain key features of the English Renaissance such as the creation of English self-identity, adoption of humanistic ideal, the advancement of English over Latin, the role of religion, the intellectual development of a people and parliament and their gradual alienation from the monarchy, the ultimate assertion of parliamentary power, and Civil War. Furthermore, the development of commercial playwriting, acting, stage management and private investment in theatres, an aspect of life today taken for granted, began during this Golden Age in English drama. The history of English playwriting and performance stretches back to at least the ninth century trope ‘Alle Luia’ sung at Easter masses. However, post-classical Christian ritual performance itself probably developed from the ritualistic repetitions of the Empirical Roman Senate.1 This tradition, established in the Church at some point during the early formation of Roman successor states, likely spread to England from Spain, via Ireland, through missionaries.

  • Garrick's Alterations of Shakespeare

    Garrick's Alterations of Shakespeare

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-88977-3 - Shakespeare and Garrick Vanessa Cunningham Excerpt More information prologue Garrick’s alterations of Shakespeare – a note on texts The great majority of the versions of Shakespeare’s plays made by David Garrick and published during his management of Drury Lane (1747– 1776) are described on their title pages as ‘alterations’, or as having been 1 ‘alter’d for performance’. The two operas (The Fairies, 1755, and The Tempest, 1756) are said to be ‘taken from Shakespear’, while Antony and Cleopatra,publishedin1758 and generally credited jointly to Edward Capell and Garrick (though not attributed to either on the title page), is dis- tinguished from the others by its description as ‘an historical Play, written by William Shakespeare: fitted for the Stage by abridging only’. Despite the fact that Harry William Pedicord and Fredrick Louis Bergmann, modern editors of Garrick’s plays, entitle their two volumes of Shakespeare- 2 derived texts ‘adaptations’, ‘alteration’ is certainly the preferable term for discussion of Garrick’s performance versions of Shakespeare’s plays, since throughout the eighteenth century ‘alter’ was used far more commonly than ‘adapt’. Garrick, according to Pedicord and Bergmann, is believed to have been involved in the altering of some twenty-two plays by Shakespeare over the course of his professional career. In their collected edition they reproduce 3 the dozen that they consider can be authenticated. The present work discusses a selection of alterations that span Garrick’s professional career. Two are from the early years (Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet) and two from the middle period (Florizel and Perdita, Antony and Cleopatra).
  • Shakespeare Apocrypha” Peter Kirwan

    Shakespeare Apocrypha” Peter Kirwan

    The First Collected “Shakespeare Apocrypha” Peter Kirwan he disparate group of early modern plays still referred to by many Tcritics as the “Shakespeare Apocrypha” take their dubious attributions to Shakespeare from a variety of sources. Many of these attributions are external, such as the explicit references on the title pages of The London Prodigal (1605), A Yorkshire Tragedy (1608), 1 Sir John Oldcastle (1619), The Troublesome Raigne of King John (1622), The Birth of Merlin (1662), and (more ambiguously) the initials on the title pages of Locrine (1595), Thomas Lord Cromwell (1602), and The Puritan (1607). Others, including Edward III, Arden of Faversham, Sir Thomas More, and many more, have been attributed much later on the basis of internal evidence. The first collection of disputed plays under Shakespeare’s name is usually understood to be the second impression of the Third Folio in 1664, which “added seven Playes, never before Printed in Folio.”1 Yet there is some evidence of an interest in dubitanda before the Restoration. The case of the Pavier quar- tos, which included Oldcastle and Yorkshire Tragedy among authentic plays and variant quartos in 1619, has been amply discussed elsewhere as an early attempt to create a canon of texts that readers would have understood as “Shakespeare’s,” despite later critical division of these plays into categories of “authentic” and “spu- rious,” which was then supplanted by the canon presented in the 1623 Folio.2 I would like to attend, however, to a much more rarely examined early collection of plays—Mucedorus, Fair Em, and The Merry Devil of Edmonton, all included in C.

    Tamburlaine the Great: Triumph of the Will

    RICE UNIVERSITY Tamburlalne the Great: Triumph of the Will by Joseph A. English A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ART Thesis Director's signature: May, 1967 Abstract Tamburlaine the Great: Triumph of the Will Joseph A. English The Renaissance interest in ontology expresses itself through its astrological, mythological, and cos¬ mological views of the world. This concern for under¬ standing the precise nature and function of the indi¬ vidual is thus particularly important in the drama of the era, which frequently focused on the problem of the individual—the problem of examing and understanding his precise nature as well as his precise role in the ordered world of the Renaissance, This thesis examines the ontological concerns of the Renaissance in general and of Tamburlalne the Great in particular in an at¬ tempt to demonstrate how radically at odds are the worlds, values, and premises of Part I and Part II. Chapter One examines the Renaissance concern for ontology as it is expressed in astrology and mythology. The Renaissance emphasis on self-knowledge and on the proper balance of will and understanding is also examined as another manifestation of its ontological concern, Ovid's concept of metamorphosis is similarly discussed. Chapter Two studies the intellectual environ¬ ment of Christopher Marlowe. By training and tempera¬ ment Marlowe was interested in the individual and in the potentialities and limitations of man’s being. His drama¬ tic works are filled with mythological allusions and as¬ trological references which reflect his ontological a¬ wareness. Chapter Three examines Tamburlaine’s ontological motivation In Part I.

  • Marlowe's Tamburlaine (1587) and Islamic Theology

    Marlowe's Tamburlaine (1587) and Islamic Theology

    TRAMES, 2012, 16(66/61), 2, 177–201 MARLOWE’S TAMBURLAINE (1587) AND ISLAMIC THEOLOGY Fahd Mohammed Taleb Al-Olaqi King Abdulaziz University Abstract. Marlowe’s Tamburlaine (1589) is a great Elizabethan Oriental play. Marlowe’s reference to the Qur’ān and the Prophet Muhammad is remarkable in two parts of the play. Marlowe calls it the ‘Turkish Alcoran’ to attack the Turkish pride in affronting it. How- ever, to burn the Qur’ān, Marlowe denigrates it, and unfairly falsifies the Prophet Muhammad. Marlowe’s hero Tamburlaine identifies the Qur’ān as an enemy of the Elizabethans. Tamburlaine’s burning of the Qur’ān is a sign of Christian power and victory. The Qur’ānic biblioclasm on London stage was bizarre. The huge flames and vaunting speeches of Tamburlaine show an earthly hell for Muslims in the East with no limits. Tamburlaine asks the Prophet Muhammad to take his revenge just to mock him. The Qur’ān has been frequently and badly misunderstood in Europe. This derogatory treatment betrays Marlowe’s lack of understanding Islam. Though several performances of the play, recently, replace the copies of the Qur’ān by irreligious books, the English Christian Tamburlaine is literarily known as the Qur’ān burner in the English literature. Keywords: Christopher Marlowe, Marlowe’s Tamburlaine (1589), religion, theology, Qur’ān, Islam DOI: 10.3176/tr.2012.2.05 1. Introduction The Qur’ān is the first and most authentic source of Islam. As a book, it is arranged in 114 Suras or chapters. Every chapter is divided into rhymed prose verses in Arabic.

    CHAPTER 14 RESEARCH QUALITY, BIBLIOMETRICS AND THE REPUBLIC OF SCIENCE I'll burn my books! Ah, Mephistophilis. −Faustus Christopher Marlowe, The Tragicall History of D. Faustus1 Nothing is more contrary to the progress of knowledge than mystery.... If it happens that an invention favorable to the progress of the arts and sciences comes to my knowledge, I burn to divulge it; that is my mania. Born communicative as much as it is possible for a man to be, it is too bad that I was not born more inventive; I would have told my ideas to the first comer. Had I but one secret for all my stock in trade, it seems to me that if the general good should require the publication of it, I should prefer to die honestly on a street corner, my back against a post, than let my fellow men suffer. −Denis Diderot2 IDEOLOGIES OF KNOWLEDGE3 It is only since the 1960s with the development of research evaluation and increasing sophistication of bibliometrics that it has been possible to map the emerging economy of global science, at least on a comparative national and continental basis.
