First published in 1990, this title explores the nature of the interaction between Shakespeare and American culture. Shakespeare stands at the center of an elaborate institutional reality, closely tied to both cultural and ideological production.

This reissue will be of particular value to Literature students and researchers with an interest in Shakespeare, as well as those interested in...

Shakespeare in the Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9781107479883 / Angielski / Miękka / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the nineteenth century, Shakespeare achieved the status of international pre-eminence that we recognise today. He and his major characters were depicted in statues, paintings and illustrations, and in Stratford-upon-Avon the house where he was born was purchased for the nation and the first Memorial Theatre was built. His words were read, quoted and declaimed in domestic drawing rooms and theatres all around the world, as well as in the works of the leading writers of the day, in intimate love letters and in the pages of radical newspapers. As these new essays show, his was a voice that...

Bassanio, a young Venetian of noble rank, wishes to woo the beautiful and wealthy heiress Portia of Belmont. Having squandered his estate, Bassanio approaches his friend Antonio, a wealthy merchant of Venice who has previously and repeatedly bailed him out, for 3,000 ducats needed to subsidise his expenditures as a suitor. Antonio agrees, but since he is cash-poor - his ships and merchandise are busy at sea - he promises to cover a bond if Bassanio can find a lender, so Bassanio turns to the Jewish moneylender Shylock and names Antonio as the loan's guarantor.

A Muse of Fire: A Play Arranged from the Works of Shakespeare
ISBN: 9780692374191 / Angielski / Miękka / 138 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Merle McClung compiled "A Muse of Fire" from the works of Shakespeare in 1965 as a Rhodes Scholar at Trinity College, Oxford. The play gathered dust on Mr. McClung's library shelves until 2014 when failing health convinced him to publish it before it ended up in a landfill. Reading some of Shakespeare's most beloved poetry in a different context has obvious drawbacks, but also enables Shakespeare lovers to appreciate him in a new light. Prince Hal, Falstaff, Hotspur, Hamlet, and other luminaries come together in surprising symmetry as the play transitions from comic fantasy to the historic...

Anyone who has paid the entry fee to visit Shakespeare's Birthplace on Henley Street in Stratford-upon-Avon and there are some 700,000 a year who do so might be forgiven for taking the authenticity of the building for granted. The house, as the official guidebooks state, was purchased by Shakespeare's father, John Shakespeare, in two stages in 1556 and 1575, and William was born and brought up there. The street itself might have changed through the centuries it is now largely populated by gift and tea shops but it is easy to imagine little Will playing in the garden of this ancient...

The Tragedy of Coriolanus
ISBN: 9781507701898 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is believed to be one of the last two tragedies written by Shakespeare, along with Antony and Cleopatra, sometime between 1605 and 1608. It is not one of his better known plays, but has seen more popularity in recent years, and has recently been produced as a major motion picture in a modern adaptation of the story. The narrative is about pride, and the destruction that can come as a result, with the pride of Caius Marcius Coriolanus leading him to exile and eventually to betrayal of his own people. The story is also about mercy, though the interweaving web of loyalty he has spun about...
