King Edward IV is newly declared King, but his youngest brother, Richard (Gloucester) is resentful of Edward’s power and the general happiness of the state. Driven by ruthless ambition and embittered by his own deformity, he initiates a secret plot to take the throne by eradicating anyone who stands in his path. Richard has King Edward suspect their brother Clarence of treason and he is brought to the Tower by Brackenbury. Richard convinces Clarence that Edward’s wife, Queen Elizabeth, and her brother Rivers, are responsible for this slander and Hastings’ earlier imprisonment. Richard swears sympathy and allegiance to Clarence, but later has him murdered. Richard then interrupts the funeral procession of Henry VI to woo Lady Anne (previously betrothed to Henry VI’s deceased son, again killed by Richard). He falsely professes his love for her as the cause of his wrong doings, and despite her deep hatred for Richard, she is won and agrees to marry him.

  • "'A Complicated and Unpleasant Investigation': the Arden Shakespeare 1899-1924" by Gabriel Egan This Paper Arises From
    Egan, Gabriel. 2007d. "'''A complicated and unpleasant investigation': The Arden Shakespeare 1899-1924': A paper delivered on 12 July at the conference 'Open the Book, Open the Mind: The 2007 meeting of the Society for History of Authorship, Reading, and Publishing (SHARP)' at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, 11-15 July." "'A complicated and unpleasant investigation': The Arden Shakespeare 1899-1924" by Gabriel Egan This paper arises from a survey of Shakespeare play editions in the twentieth century. I'm particularly interested in what those who made editions thought they were doing, how confident they felt about their work, how they thought readers would respond to the textual problems that arise in editing old plays, and how editors' assumptions about their readers were manifested in the editions that they produced. My published title in the programme covers the whole century of editions, but I'm going largely to confine my remarks to just one editorial project. For those of you who like to see the big picture first, however, I can offer a brief overview of just one of those variables I mentioned: editorial confidence [SLIDE]. I see it going like this, from a low at the start of the twentieth-century, through to a peak in the 1970s, and back to a low now. From the detailed history behind this pattern, I have room on this chart to pull just a few keys moments. [SLIDE] First, A. W. Pollard's book Shakespeare Folios and Quartos (1909) distinguished the good from the bad quartos and gave editors reasons to suppose that the good ones are textually close to Shakespeare's own papers.

Editions and Textual Studies One major critical edition of Shakespeare appeared this year: Peter Holland's Corio/anus for the Arden Shakespeare Third Series. Holland starts with 'A Note on the Text' (pp. xxiii-xxvii) that explains the process of modernization and how the collation notes work, and does so very well. Next Holland prints another note apologizing for but not explaining-beyond 'pressures of space'-his 44,000-word introduction to the play having 'no single substantial section devoted to the play itself and its major concerns, no chronologically ordered narrative of Corio/anus' performance history, no extensive surveying of the history and current state of critical analysis ... [and not] a single footnote' (p. xxxviii). After a preamble, the introduction itself (pp. 1-141) begins in medias res with Corio/anus in the 1930s, giving an account of William Poel's production in 1931 and one by Comedie-Frarn;:aise in 1933-4 and other reinterpretations by T.S.

Worse still, Claudius has had himself crowned king despite the fact that Hamlet is heir to the throne. No wonder Hamlet suspects foul play.

  • Shaw Festival's Saint Joan to Be Presented at Chicago Shakespeare
    Shaw Festival’s Saint Joan to be Presented at Chicago Shakespeare Theater Media Release #9 Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, April 23, 2007 … The Shaw Festival’s flagship Shaw production, the iconic Saint Joan, directed by Artistic Director Jackie Maxwell, will be presented at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater from January 8-20, 2008. The production began preview performances on Saturday at the Festival Theatre for its regular run as part of The Shaw’s 2007 Season. The production will be presented within the Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s 2007-2008 The World’s Stage Series for a limited two-week run at the Courtyard Theater. Chicago Shakespeare Theater is one of the fastest-growing producing and presenting theater institutions in the United States today. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Barbara Gaines and Executive Director Criss Henderson, CST has achieved a reputation for consistently high production values and artistic standards. Jackie Maxwell noted: “It has been my strong desire to get the extraordinary work we do here at The Shaw out on the road, making contacts with renowned theatre companies and their communities. The Chicago Shakespeare Theater is a world-class theatre company producing work of the highest quality and with a history of presenting American and international productions of distinction. The Shaw Festival is thrilled to join those ranks, and debut in Chicago, with Saint Joan.” In 1431 Jeanne d’Arc (Tara Rosling) – a young peasant girl who led an army and crowned a king – was burned at the stake as a heretic. Afterwards, in the smouldering ashes, one thing remained untouched – her heart.

  • The Shakespeare Apocrypha and Canonical Expansion in the Marketplace
    The Shakespeare Apocrypha and Canonical Expansion in the Marketplace Peter Kirwan 1 n March 2010, Brean Hammond’s new edition of Lewis Theobald’s Double Falsehood was added to the ongoing third series of the Arden Shakespeare, prompting a barrage of criticism in the academic press I 1 and the popular media. Responses to the play, which may or may not con- tain the “ghost”2 of Shakespeare and Fletcher’s Cardenio, have dealt with two issues: the question of whether Double Falsehood is or is not a forgery;3 and if the latter, the question of how much of it is by Shakespeare. This second question as a criterion for canonical inclusion is my starting point for this paper, as scholars and critics have struggled to define clearly the boundar- ies of, and qualifications for, canonicity. James Naughtie, in a BBC radio interview with Hammond to mark the edition’s launch, suggested that a new attribution would only be of interest if he had “a big hand, not just was one of the people helping to throw something together for a Friday night.”4 Naughtie’s comment points us toward an important, unqualified aspect of the canonical problem—how big does a contribution by Shakespeare need to be to qualify as “Shakespeare”? The act of inclusion in an editedComplete Works popularly enacts the “canonization” of a work, fixing an attribution in print and commodifying it within a saleable context. To a very real extent, “Shakespeare” is defined as what can be sold as Shakespearean. Yet while canonization operates at its most fundamental as a selection/exclusion binary, collaboration compli- cates the issue.
