The Iconographyof False Friendship By CLIFFORD DAVIDSON THE REALIZATION THAT iconographic tableaux appear at central points in the drama of Shakespeare no longer seems to involve a radical critical perspective. Thus a recent study is able to show convincingly that the playwright presented audiences with a Hamlet who upon his first appear- ance on stage illustrated what the Renaissance would certainly have recognized as the melancholic contemplative personality.' As I have noted in a previous article, the hero of Macbeth when he sees the bloody dagger before him is in fact perceiving the image which most clearly denotes tragedy itself; in the emblem books, the dagger is indeed the symbol of tragedy,2 which will be Macbeth's fate if he pursues his bloody course of action. Such tableaux, it must be admitted, are often central to the meaning and the action of the plays.

  • Discourses of Femininity in Thomas Shadwell's Adaptation of Timon Of
    Outskirts Vol. 38, 2018, 1-17 “What gay, vain, pratting thing is this”: Discourses of femininity in Thomas Shadwell’s adaptation of Timon of Athens Melissa Merchant During the Restoration era (1660 to 1700), the plays of Shakespeare were routinely adapted in order to make them fit for the new stages and society in which they were being produced. Representations ‘femininity’ and ‘woman’ were re-negotiated following a tumultuous period in English history and the evidence of this can be seen in the Shakespearean adaptations. Theatrical depictions of women within the plays produced during this time drew on everyday discourses of femininity and were influenced by the new presence of professional actresses on the London stages. In a time before widespread literacy and access to multiple media platforms, the theatre served a didactic function as a site which could present “useful and instructive representations of human life" (as ordered by Charles II in his Letters Patent to the theatre companies in 1662). This paper argues that, on the stage, Restoration women were afforded three roles: gay, ideal or fallen. Each of these are evident within Thomas Shadwell’s adaptation of Timon of Athens. Introduction “Women are of two sorts,” claimed Bishop Aylmer during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, some were “wiser, better learned, discreeter, and more constant than a number of men” and the other “worse sort of them” were: Fond, foolish, wanton, flibbergibs, tattlers, triflers, wavering, witless, without council, feeble, careless, rash, proud, dainty, tale-bearers, eavesdroppers, rumour-raisers, evil-tongued, worse-minded, and in every way doltified with the dregs of the devil’s dunghill (Stretton 2005, 52).

To T. S. Eliot, Middleton was the author of "six or seven great plays." 1 It turns out that he is more than that. The dramatic canon as defined by the Oxford Middleton—under the general editorship of Gary Taylor and John Lavagnino, leading a team of seventy-five contributors—con- sists of eighteen sole-authored plays, ten extant collaborative plays, and two adaptations of plays written by someone else. The thirty plays, writ ten for at least seven different companies, cover the full generic range of early modern drama: eight tragedies, fourteen comedies, two English history plays, and six tragicomedies. These figures invite comparison with Shakespeare: ten tragedies, thirteen comedies, ten or (if we count Edward III) eleven histories, and five tragicomedies or romances (if we add Pericles and < Two Noble Kinsmen to those in the First Folio).

  • Editorial Treatment of the Shakespeare Apocrypha
    Egan, Gabriel. 2004j. 'Editorial Treatment of the Shakespeare Apocrypha, 1664-1737': A Paper Delivered at the Conference 'Leviathan to Licensing Act (The Long Restoration, 1650-1737): Theatre, Print and Their Contexts' at Loughborough University, 15-16 September Editorial treatment of the Shakespeare apocrypha, 1664-1737 by Gabriel Egan The third edition (F3) of the collected plays of Shakespeare appeared in 1663, and to its second issue the following year was added a particularly disreputable group of plays comprised Pericles, The London Prodigal, Sir John Oldcastle, A Yorkshire Tragedy, Thomas Lord Cromwell, The Puritan, and Locrine. Of these, only Pericles remains in the accepted Shakespeare canon, the edges of which are imprecisely defined. (At the moment it is unclear whether Edward 3 is in or out.) The landmark event for defining the Shakespeare canon was the publication of the 1623 First Folio (F1), with which, as Stanley Wells and Gary Taylor put it, "the substantive history of Shakespeare's dramatic texts virtually comes to an end" (Wells et al. 1987, 52). Only one more genuine Shakespeare play was first printed after 1623: The Two Noble Kinsmen, which appeared in a quarto of 1634 whose title-page attributed it to Shakespeare and Fletcher, "Gent[lemen]" (Fletcher & Shakespeare 1634, A1r). Perhaps inclusion in F1 should not be an important criterion for us and we should put more weight on such facts as Pericles's appearing in quarto in 1609 with a titlepage that claimed it was by William Shakespeare. But the same can be said for other plays that got added to the Folio in 1663: The London Prodigal, Sir John Oldcastle, and A Yorkshire Tragedy were printed in early quartos that named their author as William Shakespeare and the other three in quartos that named "W.S".

  • Timon of Athens by William Shakespeare Produced by the College of the Holy Cross 2002-2003 Season Directed by Edward Isser
    Timon of Athens By William Shakespeare Produced by The College of the Holy Cross 2002-2003 Season Directed by Edward Isser A Glorious Mess Ben Jonson, in his famed introductory note to the First Folio, wrote, “I remember, the players have often mentioned it as an honour to Shakespeare that in his writing (whatsoever he penned) he never blotted out line.” A close look at the text of Timon of Athens, however, challenges the notion that Shakespeare’s plays sprang from his consciousness fully composed requiring little or no revision. Timon of Athens, put simply, is a glorious mess. It contains numerous errors, problems, and performative challenges; character names change, certain scenes appear to be little more than outlines, the verse is often jarring and filled with overlong lines, and the text shifts abruptly from prose to verse without apparent reason. Moreover, there is no evidence that the play was ever performed during Shakespeare’s lifetime. A number of critics, reacting to the rough and unfinished quality of the text, have even conjectured that Shakespeare was working on it at the time of his death in 1616 and Thomas Middleton completed the unfinished work. Other critics, denying collaboration, assert the play was composed at some point in1605-6 because of its textual and thematic correspondence to King Lear. The debate over composition and dating will probably never be fully resolved. The Folio text of 1623 was apparently based upon a set of so- called “foul papers,” a preliminary draft submitted to the playhouse by the author prior to production. The problematic nature of the text and the harshness of the story have caused Timon to be generally ignored by scholars, teachers and directors.

  • Notes on Timon of Athens: Origins, Analyses and Academic Notes of Same / Sdmace 2013
    Notes on Timon of Athens: Origins, Analyses and academic notes of same / sdmace 2013 NOTES TAKEN FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Timon of Athens is a play by William Shakespeare about the fortunes of an Athenian named Timon (and probably influenced by the philosopher of the same name, as well), generally regarded as one of his most obscure and difficult works until recently. Originally grouped with the tragedies, it is generally considered such, but some scholars group it with the problem plays. “Timon of Athens” is believed to have first been performed between 1607 and 1608, whereas the text is believed to have first been printed in 1623 as a part of the First Folio. ORIGIN: Timon of Athens may refer to a historical figure who lived during the era of the Peloponnesian War. Or, more likely, to Timon of Phlius (c. 320 BC – c. 230 BC) who was a Greek skeptic philosopher, a pupil of Pyrrho, and a celebrated writer of satirical poems called Silloi. He was born in Phlius, moved to Megara, and then he returned home and married. He next went to Elis with his wife, and heard Pyrrho, whose tenets he adopted. He also lived on the Hellespont, and taught at Chalcedon, before moving to Athens, where he lived until his death. His writings were said to have been very numerous. He composed poetry, tragedies, satiric dramas, and comedies, of which very little remains. His most famous composition was his Silloi, a satirical account of famous philosophers, living and dead, in hexameter verse. The Silloi has not survived intact, but it is mentioned and quoted by several ancient authors.

  • Thomas North's Writings in the Shakespeare Canon
    Thomas North’s Writings in the Shakespeare Canon: An Introduction by Dennis McCarthy Thomas North’s Writings in the Shakespeare Canon—2 Table of Contents Introduction: Thomas North and Shakespeare’s Use of Old Plays Part I: 200 Northern Speeches and Lines Appearing in the Shakespeare Canon. Chapter 1: 20 Examples of Shakespeare Borrowings from North. This chapter describes the sources for 20 Shakespearean passages. All were first written by Thomas North, and nearly all are revealed here for the first time. In every case, North’s source passage does not appear in a chapter that is also furnishing a plot or subplot for one of the plays. For example, it does not derive from the chapters in North’s Plutarch’s Lives that inspired Shakespeare’s Roman tragedies. So there is no reason for the playwright to have had North’s text open in front of him. Rather, it is clear that, in nearly every case, the situation in the play reminded the dramatist of an earlier passage by North, which he would then reuse or paraphrase. It would seem almost like Shakespeare could recall every chapter of everything North ever wrote. In reality, Shakespeare was simply adapting North’s plays, and it was North who was recalling his prior passages and reusing them in these dramas. The last two examples, involving Julius Caesar and Coriolanus, indicate that the playwright would even intertwine passages from multiple translations of North. For example, even while he closely follows North’s Plutarch’s Lives, the dramatist still augments the Plutarchan passages with material from North’s The Dial of Princes and The Moral Philosophy of Doni.

    -, SH~KESPEARE'S ANNUS MIRABILIS SHAKESPEARE'S ANNUS MIRABILIS: SOME STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF CORIOLANUS, TIMON OF ATHENS AND PERICLES By BARBARA JANE PANKHURST, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University September 1979 MASTER OF ARTS (1979) McMASTER UNIVERSITY (English) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Shakespeare's Annus Mirabilis: Some Structural Aspects of Coriolanus,Timon of Athens and Pericles AUTHOR: Barbara Jane Pankhurst, B.A. (Cantab.) SUPERVISOR: Dr. A.D. Hammond NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, lOB. ii ABSTRACT An investigation of seven aspects of the structure of Shakespeare's Coriolanus, Timon of Athens and Pericles, as a means to understanding the dramatic unity and coherence of the plays. The study is essentially the prolegomena to a more detailed discussion both of those three plays and of those which followed them, and whose structure developed out of theirs. Coriolanus, Timon of Athens and Pericles are seen as the products of an eighteen-month period circa 1607-8, possessed in each case of an effective, integral dramatic structure. The topics selected for consideration to prove that thesis are as follows: 1. The relationship between the hero and fortune~ with particular attention to the patterning of events within the play. This central topic forms the bulk of the first half of the study. 2. The hero's language: rhetoric and a public mode of address. 3. The soliloquy of self-delusion. 4. The use of "sets" of characters, or actions seemingly distinct from the main action. 5. Narrator and observer figures.
