  • Shakespeare's Lost Playhouse
    Shakespeare’s Lost Playhouse The playhouse at Newington Butts has long remained on the fringes of histories of Shakespeare’s career and of the golden age of the theatre with which his name is associated. A mile outside London, and relatively disused by the time Shakespeare began his career in the theatre, this playhouse has been easy to forget. Yet for eleven days in June, 1594, it was home to the two companies that would come to dominate the London theatres. Thanks to the ledgers of theatre entrepreneur Philip Henslowe, we have a record of this short venture. Shakespeare’s Lost Playhouse is an exploration of a brief moment in time when the focus of the theatrical world in England was on this small playhouse. To write this history, Laurie Johnson draws on archival studies, archaeology, en- vironmental studies, geography, social, political, and cultural studies, as well as methods developed within literary and theatre history to expand the scope of our understanding of the theatres, the rise of the playing business, and the formations of the playing companies. Laurie Johnson is Associate Professor of English and cultural studies at the University of Southern Queensland, current President of the Australian and New Zealand Shakespeare Association, and editorial board member with the journal Shakespeare. His publications include The Tain of Hamlet (2013), and the edited collections Embodied Cognition and Shakespeare’s Theatre: The Early Modern Body-Mind (with John Sutton and Evelyn Tribble, Routledge, 2014) and Rapt in Secret Studies: Emerging Shakespeares (with Darryl Chalk, 2010).

  • Dating the Shrew by Stephanie Hopkins Hughes
    Dating the Shrew by Stephanie Hopkins Hughes The Taming of the Shrew was published for the first time in the First Folio of 1623. Commonly referred to as The Shrew to distinguish it from A Shrew, a play that on May 2,1594, was entered to Peter Short in the Stationers’ Register as The Tamynge of a Shrowe and published anonymously that year in quarto. It’s clearly the same play, though sufficiently different to be distinct from the 1623 version. The title page states: “A Pleasant Conceyted Historie, called The Taminge of a Shrowe . sundry times acted by the Right honorable the Earle of Pembroke his servants . 1594.” A single copy of this edition survives, followed by a reprint in 1596 and by two more in 1607. The first in 1607 was entered in the register to Nicholas Ling at the same time as Romeo and Juliet and Love’s Labours Lost, indicating a clear connection with Shakespeare. The relationship between A Shrew (1594) and The Shrew (1623) has been vigorously debated over the years. Ann Thompson, editor of the 1984 Cambridge edition, explains the choice of theories: a) A Shrew is the original play, by an unknown writer, and the direct source of the Shakespeare play; b) The Shrew is the original play, while A Shrew (a “bad quarto”) is a memorial reconstruction of the Shakespeare play by an actor or some other person; c) both Shrews derive from a lost original, Shakespeare’s first version of the play. Despite the close resemblance in structure, the language in A Shrew is far less Shakespearean, though not totally without lyrical touches.

  • Doctor Faustus, Tamburlaine and the Taming of the Shrew
    Doctor Faustus , Tamburlaine and The Taming of The Shrew Derran Charlton he sole authority for the text of The Taming of The Shrew is the Folio of 1623. It is the eleventh play, appearing amongst the comedies, after As You LIke It and before All`s Well T That Ends Well. It occupies twenty-two folio pages, pp 208-29. Page 214 is wrongly numbered 212. Of the thirty-six dramas in the Folio, eighteen had already been published as Quartos. The Folio, therefore, includes eighteen unpublished plays. Sixteen were registered on 8 November, 1623. Significantly, the remaining two, King Iohn and The Taming of the Shrew , were not registered as they probably passed as reprints of older plays, The Troublesome Raigne of Iohn King of England, an anonymous play in two parts published in 1591, and The Taming of a Shrowe registered “Secundo die Maij, 1594, Peter Shorte.” This second play was printed in a quarto edition in the same year, with the following information on its title page: A Pleasant Conceited Historie, called The Taming of a Shrew. As it was sundry times acted by the Right honorable the Earl of Pembrook his seruants. Printed at London by Peter Short and are to be sold by Cuthbert Burbie, at his shop at the Royall Exchange, 1594. A single copy of this edition survives, owned by the Duke of Devonshire. First Known Performance On 11 June 1594 a performance of “the taming of a Shrow ” at the Newington Butts theater, in the village of Newington, Surrey, is recorded in Henslowe`s diary.

  • Hamlet's Jest
    18. Hamlet's Jest "A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy" —Hamlet Hamlet, the greatest play by the greatest writer who ever lived, has held its sway over the human mind for 400 years. And yet it is still shrouded in mystery. When was it written? Was there an earlier version before Shakespeare's? What is it really about? Why does Hamlet delay his revenge? The greatest mystery of all, however, is for some the easiest to answer, namely, who actually wrote the play? Its authorship is commonly attributed to William of Stratford, but there are enormous difficulties in ascribing the play to him. These problems are usually glossed over or explained away by a considerable number of unwarranted assumptions. There is, however, a simpler and more logical theory of the authorship. It is that this play about the machinations of court life was written and rewritten over a period of 30–40 years by a courtier who dares us to make the obvious identification. Date Of Composition The first difficulty with the William theory concerns the time of the play's initial composition. There are two known references to a Hamlet of the 1580s, both by Thomas Nashe. He was a Cambridge graduate (1586) who became one of the 'university wits', a circle of five writers (Nashe, Peele, Greene, Lodge and Lyly) who came to London and wrote for the stage and the press. In his preface to Sidney's Astrophel and Stella (1591), Nashe alludes to the 'To be or not to be' soliloquy, which he says had been heard on the stage for five years.

  • Katherina / Kate
    THE PLAY “THE TAMING OF THE SHREW” THE WOMAN KATHERINA / KATE THE FACTS WRITTEN: “The Taming of the Shrew” was completed in 1594 although Shakespeare may have begun to write it as early as 1590…. In the twelve months spanning the end of 1593 and the start of 1594 the young William Shakespeare was particularly prolific in the London theater scene. In addition to composing five plays he also completed his two long narrative poems “Venus and Adonis” and “The Rape of Lucrece”. PUBLISHED: The play was first published in the famous First Folio of 1923 AGE: The Bard was only approaching his 30th birthday when he completed the play. (Born 1564-Died 1616) CHRONO: Completed early in his career, the play falls in line as his eighth play in his full canon of 39 plays; the comedy followed on the heels of the “apprentice tragedy” of “Titus Andronicus” and was followed by the poetic romance, “Love’s Labour’s Lost.” GENRE: “The Taming of the Shrew” often finds its place in the category of the “Early Comedies” with “The Comedy of Errors” and “The Two Gentlemen of Verona.” SOURCE: Although there is no direct literary source for the “Induction”, the tale of a commoner being duped into believing he is a lord is one found in many literary traditions. Regarding the Petruchio and Katherina story, there are a variety of possible influences, but no one specific source. Oddly, another play, “A Pleasant Conceited Historie, called the taming of a Shrew (note the letter “a” and not the word “the”) was performed as early as 1592 which may be either the source of Shakespeare’s broad comedy or – and this is more probable – a corrupt, pirated edition of the original text.

  • Shakespeare's Dates
    SHAKESPEARE’S DATES: THEIR EFFECTS ON STYLISTIC ANALYSIS W. Ron Hess, CDP, assisted by Howard Bloch, PhD. & Winston C. Chow, PhD. INCE the style of a writer, particularly a great writer, will necessarily evolve and change over time, and since the favored styles of any period follow the same processes of growth and change, any analysis of a canon of works made to determine its authorship must begin with as close and accurate a system of dating as is possible. Unfortunately, in the case of the Elizabethans, this is easier said than done and it is particularly diffi- cult with that gaping gulf of anomalies known as the Shakespeare canon. With so little that is secure to use for guidelines, there will always be a danger that analysis will be more than a little dependent on factors determined deliberately or acciden- tally by the analyst; and so we find the process of dating the plays. Peter Moore’s 1997 arti- cle in The Elizabethan Review went into some depth on the many unfounded assumptions made by E. K. Chambers, the great early twentieth-century Shakespearean, whose chronolo- gy still retains its place as the standard accepted by most mainstream scholars. As Moore states, “Chambers’s dating scheme amounts to an attempt to force the plays, in their proper sequence––early, middle, late––into the span of 1590-1613” (27). Furthermore, for the sake of argument, Moore agrees with . Chambers and every other authority that the approximate sequence or order of composition of the plays can be determined on stylistic grounds with reasonable cer- tainty, [however,] that attempts to determine an exact sequence by the use of quanti- tative methods are probably hopeless.

  • Dating the Shrew by Stephanie Hopkins Hughes
    Dating the Shrew by Stephanie Hopkins Hughes The Taming of the Shrew was published for the first time in the First Folio of 1623. Commonly referred to as The Shrew to distinguish it from A Shrew, a play that on May 2,1594, was entered to Peter Short in the Stationers’ Register as The Tamynge of a Shrowe and published anonymously that year in quarto. It’s clearly the same play, though sufficiently different to be distinct from the 1623 version. The title page states: “A Pleasant Conceyted Historie, called The Taminge of a Shrowe . sundry times acted by the Right honorable the Earle of Pembroke his servants . 1594.” A single copy of this edition survives, followed by a reprint in 1596 and by two more in 1607. The first in 1607 was entered in the register to Nicholas Ling at the same time as Romeo and Juliet and Love’s Labours Lost, indicating a clear connection with Shakespeare. The relationship between A Shrew (1594) and The Shrew (1623) has been vigorously debated over the years. Ann Thompson, editor of the 1984 Cambridge edition, explains the choice of theories: a) A Shrew is the original play, by an unknown writer, and the direct source of the Shakespeare play; b) The Shrew is the original play, while A Shrew (a “bad quarto”) is a memorial reconstruction of the Shakespeare play by an actor or some other person; c) both Shrews derive from a lost original, Shakespeare’s first version of the play. Despite the close resemblance in structure, the language in A Shrew is far less Shakespearean, though not totally without lyrical touches.
