  • The Other W.S., William Stanley, Sixth Earl of Derby
    The Other W.S., William Stanley, Sixth Earl of Derby John Raithel n the following, I hope to provide a reasonable summary of the evidence I that I believe points to William Stan- ley, the sixth earl of Derby, as the author of the works generally attributed to Shake- speare. I do not intend, of course, to pre- sent all the material here, but do hope to give a reasonable history of the Derbyite conviction, and in so doing point to some of the sources, compilers, and interpreters of this information, and then bring it up to date with recent discoveries and publica- tions. Beginning with the referenced works, I believe the interested reader will find much to flesh-out the skeleton sketched here. There are good reasons for suspecting that the traditional assignation of the authorship of Shakespeare’s works is misplaced. These are based on statements made about the works at the time of their appearance, evidence concerning the traditional candidate, and inferences derived from the works themselves. There are also good reasons for suspecting the true author to be William Stanley, the sixth earl of Derby. Some of these, too, are based on statements made about the author of the works, and inferences derived from the works themselves. And some are based on evidence concerning William Stanley. None of the statements, evidence, or inferences is conclusive—for Stanley or anyone else—or there would be no controversy. The case for Derby is made by examining the available material and attempting to weight it appropriately, assigning, for example, less weight to inferences drawn from the plays by a Derbyite—where there must be a natural bias toward interpreting the evidence in support of Derby—and more weight to a contemporary’s comments about the author, or to modern research by a non-Derbyite scholar.

    An Introduction to William Shakespeare’s First Folio By Ruth Hazel Cover illustration courtesy of Stephen Collins This eBook was produced by OpenLearn - The home of free learning from The Open University. It is made available to you under a Creative Commons (BY-NC-SA 4.0) licence. 2 Brush up your Shakespeare The comic gangsters in Kiss Me Kate, Cole Porter’s 1948 musical based on Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew, offer Shakespeare’s poetry – by which they actually mean his plays – as a guaranteed way to a woman’s heart: quoting Shakespeare will impress her and be a sure-fire aphrodisiac. Today, Shakespeare has become a supreme icon of Western European high culture, which is ironic since in his own day Shakespeare’s craft – jobbing playwright – was not a well-regarded one. Indeed, those who wrote plays to entertain the ‘groundlings’ (as the people who paid just one penny to stand in the open yard round the stage in public playhouses were called) were often considered little better than the actors themselves – who, in their turn, were only one level up, in the minds of Puritan moralists, from whores. Shakespeare himself did not seem eager to advertise authorship of his plays by seeing them into print, and when some of his plays were printed, in the handy quarto-sized editions for individual consumption, his name was not always on the title page. (The terms ‘folio’ and ‘quarto’ refer to the size of the pages in a book: in a Folio, each sheet of paper was folded just once, with a page height of approx.

  • First Folio Faqs
    First Folio FAQs Who published the First Folio? The First Folio was published by a London syndicate headed by Edward Blount and Isaac Jaggard, whose father William Jaggard printed it at his London printing shop. How many copies of the First Folio were printed? Most likely about 750 copies were printed, of which 233 are known today. It sold well enough that a second edition (the 1632 Second Folio) was produced nine years later. How large is the First Folio? The First Folio is about 900 pages long. Each page is about a foot tall. How much did the First Folio cost? The scholar Peter Blayney suggests that an unbound copy of the First Folio cost 15 shillings; a copy with a plain calf binding cost a pound (20 shillings), about $200 today. Are all copies of the First Folio the same? No. The First Folio was proofread as it was printed, creating small variations. Over time, some copies acquired notes and drawings. Copies were damaged; many have missing pages. Page edges were also trimmed for rebinding, so the page sizes now vary. Which eighteen plays were first published in the First Folio? All's Well That Ends Well, Antony and Cleopatra, As You Like It, The Comedy of Errors, Coriolanus, Cymbeline, Henry VI, Part 1, Henry VIII, Julius Caesar, King John, Macbeth, Measure for Measure, The Taming of the Shrew, The Tempest, TImon of Athens, Twelfth Night, Two Gentlemen of Verona, and The Winter's Tale Did Shakespeare write other plays? Yes, but not many. Besides the 36 plays in the First Folio, Shakespeare wrote Pericles and The Two Noble Kinsmen (with John Fletcher).

From my time as a special collections associate at Denison Library, I have experienced the importance of directly analyzing primary sources, particularly in terms of literature review; however, I did not have the chance to work with primary sources for any past courses. So when Professor Nicosia introduced the opportunity to construct a final project utilizing texts of Shakespeare’s works in Denison and Honnold-Mudd Special Collections, I elected to delve into a new kind of research that exceeded literary analysis drawn from scholastic materials and secondary sources.

  • The Second Part of King Henry IV William Shakespeare , Edited by Giorgio Melchiori , with Contributions by Adam Hansen Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-86926-3 — The Second Part of King Henry IV William Shakespeare , Edited by Giorgio Melchiori , With contributions by Adam Hansen Frontmatter More Information THE NEW CAMBRIDGE SHAKESPEARE Brian Gibbons A. R. Braunmuller, University of California, Los Angeles From the publication of the first volumes in the General Editor of the New Cambridge Shakespeare was Philip Brockbank and the Associate General Editors were Brian Gibbons and Robin Hood. From to the General Editor was Brian Gibbons and the Associate General Editors were A. R. Braunmuller and Robin Hood. THE SECOND PART OF KING HENRY IV Giorgio Melchiori offers a fresh approach to the text of The Second Part of King Henry IV, which he sees as an unplanned sequel to the First Part, itself a ‘remake’ of an old, non- Shakespearean play. The Second Part deliberately exploits the popular success of Sir John Falstaff, introduced in Part One; the resulting rich humour gives a comic dimension to the play which makes it a unique blend of history, Morality play and comedy. Among modern editions of the play this is the one most firmly based on the quarto. It presents an eminently actable text, by showing how Shakespeare’s own choices are superior for practical purposes to suggested emendations, and by keeping interference in the original stage directions to a minimum, in order to respect, as Shakespeare did, the players’ freedom. This updated edition includes a new introductory section by Adam Hansen describing recent stage, film and critical interpretations.

  • THE CASE for the FOLIO Jonathan Bate
    THE CASE FOR THE FOLIO Jonathan Bate ‘The First Folio remains, as a matter of fact, the text nearest to Shakespeare’s stage, to Shakespeare’s ownership, to Shakespeare’s authority’ (Charlotte Porter and Helen Clarke, preface to their Pembroke Edition, 1903) © Jonathan Bate 2007 THIS ESSAY OFFERS A MORE DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE EDITORIAL PROBLEM IN SHAKESPEARE THAN THAT PROVIDED ON pp. l-lvii/50-57 OF THE GENERAL INTRODUCTION TO THE RSC SHAKESPEARE: COMPLETE WORKS THE QUARTOS The original manuscripts of Shakespeare’s works do not survive: the sole extant composition in his hand is a single scene from Sir Thomas More, a multi-authored play that cannot really be described as ‘his’. Shakespeare only survives because his works were printed. In his lifetime there appeared the following works (all spellings of titles modernized here, numbering inserted for convenience only, sequence of publication within same year not readily established). They were nearly all printed in the compact and relatively low- priced format, which may be thought of as the equivalent of the modern paperback, known as quarto (the term is derived from the fact that each sheet of paper that came off the press was folded to make four leaves): 1] Venus and Adonis (1593) – poem. 2] Lucrece (1594) – poem. 3] The most lamentable Roman tragedy of Titus Andronicus, as it was played by the right honourable the Earl of Derby, Earl of Pembroke and Earl of Sussex their servants (1594) – without the fly-killing scene that appears in the 1623 First Folio. 4] The first part of the contention betwixt the two famous Houses of York and Lancaster, with the death of the good Duke Humphrey, and the banishment and death of the Duke of Suffolk, and the tragical end of the proud Cardinal of Winchester, with the notable rebellion of Jack Cade, and the Duke of York’s first claim unto the crown (1594) – a variant version of the play that in the 1623 First Folio was called The Second Part of Henry the Sixth.
