Shakespeare's Early Comedies
ISBN: 9780485300154 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is a perceptive and illuminating account of the background to, and range of, Shakespeare's comedy, fosucing principally upon the early plays. First published in 1965, it is written with Dr Tillyard's usual ranging curiosity, independence and brisk incisiveness. Dr Tillyard is primarily concerned with interpretation of character, and with Shakespeare's instinct in comedy to stay close to ordinary life. He examines the subtle characterisation of the two sisters in The Comedy of Errors; the importance of the Bianca theme in The Taming of the Shrew; the uneasy balance of love and friendship...

George IV (Penguin Monarchs): King in Waiting
ISBN: 9780141978857 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. George IV spent most of his life waiting to become king, first a pleasure-loving and rebellious Prince of Wales during the sixty-year reign of his father, George III, and for ten years as Prince Regent, when his father went mad. 'The days are very long when you have nothing to do' he once wrote plaintively, but he did his best to fill them with pleasure - women, art, food, wine, fashion, architecture. He presided over the creation of the Regency style, which came to epitomise the era and was, with Charles I, the most artisitically literate of all our kings. Stella Tillyard has not written...

The Elizabethan World Picture
ISBN: 9780712666060 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Elizabethans took from the Middle Ages the modified view of the universe which, Platonic and biblical in origin, differed radically from our own. For them, all creation was ranged in an unalterable order from the angels down to men (for whom the world existed) and thence to the beasts and plants. This short study sets out to elucidate fairly familiar, though often mystifying, concepts such as the four elements, the celestial harmony of the nine enfolded Sphears, and macrocosm and microcosm; and to show how this world picture was variously regarded as a chain of being, a network of...

Shakespeare's Last Plays
ISBN: 9781472510402 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 85 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Shakespeare's Last Plays was the first of E. M. W. Tilyard's influential works on Shakespeare. In it, Dr Tilyard argues that the last plays - Cymbeline, The Winter's Tale and The Tempest - develop patterns found in the earlier works. He shows how Shakespeare intertwines reconciliation (the final phase of the tragedies) with an awareness of possible worlds (where the 'natural' and supernatural have equal status), and concludes that The Tempest, by subordinating his tragic pattern, is his greatest achievement.
