Per- haps this is true merely because of the impor~ance which the Romantic School places upon the genius of the subj~ct, for all schools of criti- cism recognize Shakespeare's ability at creating effective drama. A more accurate answer, however, probably lies in the fact that "romanti- cism" has a broad base and encompasses so very much.

  • William Poel
    William Poel EDWARD M. MOORE FT would be difficult to exaggerate the debt that all of Shake­ spearian owe to William Poel. It can easily be argued, as William Archer did, that scenic Shakespeare had reached such extremes by the turn of the last century that a reaction Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/sq/article/23/1/21/5100337 by guest on 29 September 2021 was inevitable, and it is not difficult to find forces alive at the end of the century that would have ended the established vogue even if Poel had never lived and had never formed the Elizabethan Stage Society. It is also true that Poel's direct influence hardly spread beyond London. Nevertheless, the fact remains that it was Poel who first demonstrated that the whole conception behind the current methods of staging Shakespeare was radically wrong, demonstrated this fact not by criticism alone but by what Shaw later referred to as "desperate experiments".1 It is further true that the later producers who did finally overturn spectacular Shakespeare—from Gran- ville-Barker to Bridges-Adams and Nugent Monck—were directly indebted to him. As it turns out, Poel is actually a rather difficult person to come to terms with. Pie was so radically right in the main things he did, and so persevering against the forces of the theater that he opposed, that one hates to have to qualify one's praise. Moreover, he fought virtually single-handedly for the first twenty-five years of his professional career; Shaw's was almost the only im­ portant critical voice raised in his favor, and at the time Shaw's patronage was probably at least as much a handicap as a blessing.

  • The Return of Elizabeth: William Poel's Hamlet and the Dream Of
    ঃਆઽࢂ෈ٷணপ࠙ 제16권 1호 (2008): 201-220 The Return of Elizabeth: William Poel’s Hamlet and the Dream of Empire Yeeyon Im (Yonsei University) 1. Translation and Authenticity There would be no dispute that few works of art have been ‘translated’ more widely than some plays in the Shakespeare canon. With a Shakespeare play, translation does not confine itself to language alone; its theatrical mode also undergoes a transformation when it is staged in a new cultural environment. Odd it may sound, Shakespeare has been translated even in England. It was Harley Granville-Barker who first emphasized the temporal distance between Shakespeare’s plays and the modern audience that needs to be translated: “The literature of the past is a foreign literature. We must either learn its language or suffer it to be translated”(7). Elizabethan plays “are like music written to be performed upon an 202 Yeeyon Im instrument now broken almost beyond repair”(9). Shakespeare’s plays, their putative universality notwithstanding, underwent changes and adaptations to suit the demands of different times. Shakespeare was ‘translated’ in terms of theatre as well. Anachronism was essential on the Elizabethan stage, which accommodated the fictional world of drama as well as the reality of the audience’s everyday life through presentation and representation. Elizabethan anachronism gave way to a more accurate representation of the dramatic world in the illusionist proscenium stage of the Victorian age. At present, modern directors are at liberty to ‘translate’ Shakespeare’s plays virtually in any period and style as they wish; it took an iconoclastic experimental spirit to break with the long‐standing Victorian tradition of archaeologically correct and pictorially spectacular staging.

    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02152-5 - The Tempest: Updated edition Edited by David Lindley Frontmatter More information THE NEW CAMBRIDGE SHAKESPEARE general editor Brian Gibbons associate general editor A. R. Braunmuller, University of California, Los Angeles From the publication of the first volumes in 1984 the General Editor of the New Cambridge Shakespeare was Philip Brockbank and the Associate General Editors were Brian Gibbons and Robin Hood. From 1990 to 1994 the General Editor was Brian Gibbons and the Associate General Editors were A. R. Braunmuller and Robin Hood. THE TEMPEST The Tempest is one of the most suggestive, yet most elusive of all Shakespeare’s plays, and has provoked a wide range of critical interpretations. It is a magical romance, yet deeply and problematically embedded in seventeenth-century debates about authority and power. In this updated edition, David Lindley has thoroughly revised the introduction and reading list to take account of the latest directions in criticism and performance. Including a new section on casting in recent productions, Lindley’s introduction explores the complex questions this raises about colonisation, racial and gender stereotypes, and the nature of the theatrical experience. Careful attention is also given to the play’s dramatic form, stagecraft, and use of music and spectacle, to demonstrate its uniquely experimental nature. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-02152-5 - The Tempest: Updated edition Edited

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: EARLY
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: EARLY INNOVATIONS IN SHAKESPEAREAN PERFORMANCE: LUDWIG TIECK, WILLIAM POEL, AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS TO THE NAZARENES AND PRE-RAPHAELITES Natalie Marie Tenner, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Professor Franklin J. Hildy Department of Theatre and Performance Studies This dissertation attempts to reanalyze the Elizabethan stage work of Ludwig Tieck and William Poel through a historically cultural lens, instead of within the frame of Shakespearean performance. Connecting these men personally and idealogically to two artistic groups, the Nazarenes and the Pre-Raphaelites, reveals, through their respective productions of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Measure for Measure, their positions as Romantic artists in changing societies. The German Romantics used their art to progress towards a unified German nation. Tieck, who knew Novalis, the Schlegel brothers, and Schleiermacher, exhibited more political awareness than he is usually give credit for. His production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream on an attempted recreation of an Elizabethan stage can be read as a theatrical event in which Tieck displayed, both by product and by procedure, his ideal nation in which all classes are connected intellectually and culturally, but at the same time understand the specific role they must fill in society. Poel’s production of Measure for Measure on an Elizabethan stage, when viewed in relation to Pre-Raphaelite thought, reveals a tension in Poel’s work between his pristine Victorian aesthetic and his appreciation for the flawed human being. This manifested itself in Poel’s producing a play with sexually explicit and morally difficult themes, which he then heavily cut to soften some of the discomfort.

  • Theatrical Practice and Cultural Context. (2006) Directed by Russ Mcdonald
    FALOCCO, JOE, Ph.D. Elizabethan Staging in the Twentieth Century: Theatrical Practice and Cultural Context. (2006) Directed by Russ McDonald. 433 pp. This study examines some of the major figures involved in the rediscovery of early modern staging conventions. Despite the wide variety of approaches employed by William Poel, Nugent Monck, Tyrone Guthrie, and the founders of the new Globe, I perceive a common philosophical underpinning to their endeavors. Rather than indulging in archaism for its own sake, they looked backward in a progressive attempt to address the challenges of the twentieth century. My history begins with an introduction in which I establish the ideological position of the Elizabethan revival as the twentieth-century heir to Pre-Raphaelitism. The first chapter is on William Poel and urges a reexamination of the conventional view of Poel as an antiquarian crank. I then devote chapters to Harley Granville Barker and Nugent Monck, both of whom began their careers with Poel. Barker’s critical writing, I argue, has been largely responsible for the Elizabethan revival’s reputation as an academic and literary phenomenon. Monck, on the other hand, took the first tentative steps toward an architectural reimagining of twentieth-century performance spaces, an advance which led to Tyrone Guthrie’s triumphs in Elizabethan staging.
