    67 The Filial Dagger: The Case of Hal and Henry IV in 1 & 2 Henry IV and The Famovs Victories Kristin M. S. Bezio University of Richmond nglish culture and politics in the last decade of the sixteenth century were both patriarchal and patrilineal, in spite of— E or, perhaps, in part, because of—the so-called bastard queen sitting on the throne. The prevailing political questions of the day concerned Elizabeth’s successor and the fate of the nation that, so many believed, hung precariously in the balance. Questions of legality, legitimacy, and fitness formed the crux of these debates, but almost all claimants attempted to justify their right by tracing their bloodlines back to either Henry VII or Edward III, the respective patriarchs of the Tudor dynasty and the houses of York and Lancaster.1 These debates hinged on the 1543 Third Act of Succession, in which Henry VIII stipulated that the heirs of his younger sister Mary (the Grey line) should take precedence over the heirs of his elder sister Margaret (the Stuart line). After Elizabeth suffered a dangerous bout with fever in 1593, these discussions intensified.2 By 1595, when Richard II, the first play in Shakespeare’s Henriad, initially appeared on stage, the conversation had spread out from the Court, appearing in public discourse, both in pamphlet and on stage. In December of 1595, the Queen’s Men were replaying an anonymous play entitled The Famous Victories of Journal of the Wooden O.

  • Hamlet (Arden Shakespeare: Third Series)
    Hamlet (Arden Shakespeare: Third Series) PDF This self-contained, free-standing volume gives readers the Second Quarto text. In his illustrated introduction to the play’s historical, cultural, and performance contexts, Neil Taylor presents a thorough survey of critical approaches to the play.  He addresses the challenges faced in reading, editing, or acting a play with the depth of content and tradition that Hamlet possesses. He also establishes the historical and cultural context in which the play was written and explains the arguments about the merits and deficiencies of the First and Second Quarto and the First Folio. Taylor points to the many novelists, both men and women, whose work refers to or bears commonalities with Hamlet, to suggest an ongoing to need to resolve "the continuing mystery of Hamlet" in print and on stage.  An appendix contains the additional passages found only in the 1623 text, and other appendices on the editorial process, the traditions regarding the act division at 3.4/4.1, casting, and music are also included. Table of ContentsList of illustrationsGeneral editors’ prefacePrefaceINTRODUCTION The challenges of Hamlet   The challenge of acting Hamlet   The challenge of editing Hamlet   The challenge to the greatness of Hamlet: Hamlet versus Lear Hamlet in our time   The soliloquies and the modernity of Hamlet   Hamlet and Freud   Reading against the Hamlet traditionHamlet in Shakespeare’s time   Hamlet at the turn of the century   The challenge of dating Hamlet   Â

  • Royal Shakespeare Company Returns to London's Roundhouse.Pdf
    Royal Shakespeare Company returns to London’s Roundhouse from November 2010 with 10 week season • One company of 44 actors playing 228 roles • Six full-scale Shakespeare productions • Two Young People’s Shakespeares – innovative, distilled productions adapted for young people • Education projects across London and at the Roundhouse • One specially constructed 750-seat thrust stage auditorium – bringing audiences closer to the action – in one iconic venue Following its hugely successful, Olivier award-winning Histories Season in 2008, the RSC returns to London’s Roundhouse in November 2010 to present a ten-week repertoire of eight plays by Shakespeare – six full-scale productions and two specially adapted for children and families. This is the first chance London audiences will have to see the RSC’s current 44-strong ensemble, who have been working together in Stratford-upon-Avon since January 2009. The RSC Ensemble is generously supported by The Gatsby Charitable Foundation and The Kovner Foundation. The season opens with Rupert Goold’s production of Romeo and Juliet and runs in repertoire to 5 February next year, with Michael Boyd’s production of Antony and Cleopatra; The Winter’s Tale directed by David Farr; Julius Caesar directed by Lucy Bailey; As You Like It, directed by Michael Boyd; and David Farr’s King Lear (see end of release for production details at a glance). All six productions have been developed throughout their time in the repertoire and are revised and re-rehearsed with each revival in Stratford, Newcastle, London and finally for next year’s residency in New York. The season also includes the RSC’s two recent Young People’s Shakespeare (YPS) productions created especially for children and families, and inspired by the Stand Up For Shakespeare campaign which calls for more children and young people to See Shakespeare Live, Start Shakespeare Earlier and Do Shakespeare on their Feet – Hamlet, directed by Tarell Alvin McCraney, and The Comedy of Errors (in association with Told by an Idiot), directed by Paul Hunter.

  • Impact Case Study (Ref3b) Institution: King’S College London
    Impact case study (REF3b) Institution: King’s College London Unit of Assessment: 29 English Language and Literature Title of case study: From page to stage: editing two Shakespeare plays for use in the theatre. 1. Summary of the impact (indicative maximum 100 words) Academics at King’s have long been involved in the editing of Shakespeare. Their editions have benefited school students and teachers, general readers, and theatre practitioners. Here we describe the impact which two King’s-edited plays have had on theatrical performances and cultural life. Both were published in the Arden Shakespeare series, the general editorship of which has been located at King’s for nearly 30 years. Hamlet and King Henry the Eighth, edited by Ann Thompson (co-editor, with Neil Taylor) and Gordon McMullan respectively, were used in major theatrical productions by the RSC in 2009 and Shakespeare’s Globe in 2010. Impact is demonstrable in sales figures, directors’ statements, viewing figures, and in related media appearances by Thompson and McMullan. 2. Underpinning research (indicative maximum 500 words) King’s English Department has longstanding strengths in textual editing, especially in the editing of Shakespeare. Ann Thompson (appointed Professor in 1999) is one of the four General Editors of the Arden Shakespeare third series. Gordon McMullan (appointed Lecturer in 1995, Professor in 2007) is one of two General Textual Editors of the forthcoming third edition of the Norton Shakespeare; he is also a General Editor of the Arden Early Modern Drama series. Their aims as editors are twofold: first, to produce widely-useable high-quality texts that will introduce the non- specialist to the latest research findings; and second, to have a direct influence on the way theatre professionals research, rehearse and prepare for performance.

  • The Shakespeare Authorship Debate Continued: Uncertainties and Mysteries
    The Shakespeare Authorship Debate Continued: Uncertainties and Mysteries by Luke Prodromou his essay is a response to the fascinating collection of articles on the Shakespeare Authorship Question that appeared in the Winter 2019 Tissue of the journal Critical Stages (critical-stages.org/18/). Read together, those articles not only confirm that there really is a case for rea- sonable doubt about the Stratford man as the author of the works; they also suggest that pursuing this question can actually be an effective critical tool for a better understanding of those works. As a graduate of the Shakespeare Institute, Birmingham, I have often won- dered, from a scholarly point of view, why the eddies under Clopton Bridge in Stratford have seemed to arouse more curiosity as evidence linking the man from Stratford to the plays and poems of “Shakespeare” than do the growing number of details of a historical or cultural nature, which seem to me more enlightening. Scrutinizing Shakespearean texts for evidence of the author’s possible links to glove-making has consumed more scholarly energy than the abundant indications that our elusive author seems to have actually known Italy and Italian culture at first-hand and Elizabethan court life with an insider’s confidence. Even Stratfordian scholars have noticed that “the extent and loudness of the documentary silence are startling” (Worden, 2006: 24). Indeed, the chal- lenge of teasing out an explanation for this startling silence has been left to non-Stratfordians like Diana Price (see her volume, excerpted in CS 18, THE OXFORDIAN Volume 21 2019 13 The Shakespeare Authorship Debate Continued: Uncertainties and Mysteries Shakespeare’s Unorthodox Biography, 2012).

  • The Polyxena Pattern
    J. Weiner / PsyArt 20 (2016) 104–115 The Polyxena Pattern Jeffrey Weiner UC Davis Abstract The title of this article is based on Seneca's description of the sacrifice of Polyxena in "The Trojan Women." The fear, desire, and transcendence that the sacrificed maiden elicits in the audience put the feminine at the center of an experience of fear and wonder that characterizes Shakespearean romance. This paper explores the paradoxical, early modern concept of "amazement" in relation to traumatic wounding and gender. Focusing on Shakespeare's late romances, especially Cymbeline and The Winter's Tale, I link the experience of terror to a traumatizing "evil queen" archetype. This fantasy inspires a sense of amazement as terror and results in the punishment of another archetypal character, the sacrificed maiden. When the female figure returns as the redeeming maiden at the end of Shakespeare's romances, she allows the male spectator to approach the terror and desire that the feminine inspire in him by providing him with an escape into fantasy. Keywords Early modern, theory of the soul, amazement, terror, romance, transformation To cite as Weiner, J., 2016, ‘The Polyxena Pattern’, PsyArt 20, pp. 104–115. In Shakespeare’s Pericles, Cymbeline, and The Winter’s Tale the men succumb to their fantasies of feminine threat and allure. If we think of Shakespeare’s plays chronologically, this is not surprising given the sharpening polarization of female characters in his late tragedies, which directly precede the romances: the malevolent sisters and the misunderstood, sacrificed daughter in King Lear; maligned Desdemona, who in Othello’s mind flutters between irresistible goodness and repugnant evil; the polar opposite wives, Lady Macbeth and Lady Macduff; and, of course, the seductive, but debauched temptress Cleopatra and the self-sacrificing, chaste Octavia.

SMITH, ELISABETTA TARANTINO, DOMENICO LOVASCIO, SHIRLEY BELL, CHRISTIAN GRIFFITHS, KATE WILKINSON, SHEILAGH ILONA O’BRIEN, AND LOUISE POWELL This chapter has three sections: 1. Editions and Textual Studies; 2. Shakespeare in the Theatre; 3. Criticism. Section 1 is by Brett Greatley- Hirsch; section 2 is by Peter J. Smith; section 3(a) is by Elisabetta Tarantino; section 3(b) is by Domenico Lovascio; section 3(c) is by Shirley Bell; section 3(d) is by Christian Griffiths; section 3(e) is by Kate Wilkinson; section 3(f) is by Sheilagh Ilona O’Brien; section 3(g) is by Louise Powell. 1. Editions and Textual Studies Readers will, I hope, forgive the relative brevity and narrow scope of this section as a necessary consequence of accepting the YWES brief three-quarters into the year. To avoid piecemeal, superficial treatment of the full range of this year’s offerings in Shakespearean textual studies, I limit my focus to a more manageable section of scholarship: studies in authorship attribution and the apocrypha. My discussion thus excludes a great deal of interesting and important work across a field whose vibrancy and rapid evolution is reflected by the range of topics brought together in Margaret Jane Kidnie and Sonia Massai’s Shakespeare and Textual Studies (CUP). My capacity as interim caretaker of this section similarly does not allow me to give the third edition of The Norton Shakespeare (Norton) and three impressive monographs — Laura Estill’s Dramatic Extracts in Seventeenth-Century English Manuscripts (UDelP), Judith Milhous and Robert D.

    ENGL 631: Renaissance Drama Professor Maura Tarnoff Fall 2010, Tues, 5:30-8pm PR 15 Office hours: MW, 5:30-6:30; 1-5pm (Manresa Hall) Email: [email protected] This survey of early modern English drama will traverse and hopefully challenge the traditional period boundaries of "medieval" and "Renaissance." While we will attend to differences in genre and historical context, we will also seek out points of continuity and comparison as we move from readings of late medieval mystery and morality plays to dramatic works by Shakespeare and his contemporaries. How does the economic language of interiority, emerging from pre-Reformation rituals of penance, serve to connect Everyman (where the soul is an account book to be balanced) with the representation and quantification of selfhood in Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus ? To what extent do the conventions of allegory inform the language of difference (moral, social, national, racial, gendered etc.) in Shakespeare's Hamlet or Philip Massinger’s The Renegado ? We will conclude with a play whose place within early modern dramatic history is currently being contested, namely Double Falsehood , the eighteenth-century alleged revision of a lost play by Shakespeare and John Fletcher based on an episode from Don Quixote . Required Texts: Brean Hammond, ed. Double Falsehood (Arden Shakespeare, 2009) Ben Jonson, The Alchemist and Other Plays (Oxford World’s Classics, 2008) Christopher Marlowe, The Complete Plays (Penguin Classics, 2003) Philip Massinger, The Renegado (Arden 2010) William Shakespeare, Othello (Arden Shakespeare 2001) Requirements: -Regular attendance and participation 10% -Two essays: 5-7 pages and 8-10 pages. The fi8rst essay will focus on applying a particular theoretical approach to a reading of one or more of the dramatic texts covered.
