Contact Us Search Books by title Journals by title Library website Web (Google) for Lady McBeth I t can be (and has been) argued that perhaps no other body of work save the Bible has been more studied and written about, or has had more influence on the literary and socialculture of Western civilization than that of William Shakespeare. It is difficult to encapsulate the impact of Shakespeare's writing. The editors of the catalog Printing and the Mind of Man have captured the crux of the matter as well as anyone: The magic of Shakespeare's poetry is potent only in his own tongue; but the great theatrical scenes, the great dramatic figures are universal. Hamlet's doubts, the doomed love of Romeo and Juliet, Brutus's dilemma, the Falstaffian image, the characters of Iago, Petruchio, and Lady Macbeth, are part of the fabric of western (and not only western) civilization. Henry V's summons to Agincourt, Othello's stand before the Signoria, Mark Antony's funeral oration for Caesar, Portia at Shylock's trial: these are more real to us than the history books. A mong the many scholarly endeavors surrounding Shakespeare's works, one the most ambitious is the Modern Language Association's New Variorum Shakespeare project, founded originally by Horace Howard Furness in the nineteenth century to produce critical editions of Shakespeare's plays that collate all editions and distill all current and historical commentary. The main editorial office for this massive project is housed here at the Golda Meir Library, under the general editorship of Dr. Robert Turner with assistance from Dr. Virginia Haas. The Golda Meir Library has built a significant Shakespeare collection to help support the goals of this important project, and to facilitate teaching and research in Shakespearean studies at UWM.

Sonnets 133-154 The English dramatist and poet William Shakespeare was the author of the most widely admired and influential body of literature by any individual in the history of Western civilization. His work comprises 36 plays, 154 sonnets, and 2 narrative poems. Knowledge of Shakespeare is derived from two sources: his works and those remains of legal and church records and contemporary allusions through which scholars can trace the external facts of his life. Shakespeare was baptized in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, on Apr. 26, 1564. He is buried in the same church, where a memorial records his death on Apr. 23, 1616. In 1623 his colleagues John Heminge and Henry Condell created memorial by publishing Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies

46. Shakespeare Authorship Indeed, abundant evidence testifies to the fact that william shakespeare of Stratford The most obvious evidence that william shakespeare wrote the works http://shakespeareauthorship.com/

The Shakespeare Authorship Page Dedicated to the Proposition that Shakespeare Wrote Shakespeare Contents Introduction How We Know that Shakespeare Wrote Shakespeare Featured External Site: Tom Veal's "Stromata Blog" To the New York ... Bardlinks Elsewhere on the Web Introduction Many books and articles have been written arguing that someone other than William Shakespeare, the glover's son from Stratford-upon-Avon, wrote the plays and poems published under his name. There exist sincere and intelligent people who believe there is strong evidence that Edward de Vere, Seventeenth Earl of Oxford, was the author of these plays and poems. Yet professional Shakespeare scholars those whose job it is to study, write, and teach about Shakespeare generally find Oxfordian claims to be groundless, often not even worth discussing. Why is this? Oxfordians claim that these scholars are blinded to the evidence by a vested self-interest in preserving the authorship of "the Stratford Man," and some more extreme Oxfordians claim that there is an active conspiracy among orthodox scholars to suppress pro-Oxford evidence and keep it from the attention of the general public. The truth, however, is far more prosaic. Oxfordians are not taken seriously by the Shakespeare establishment because (with few exceptions) they do not follow basic standards of scholarship, and the "evidence" they present for their fantastic scenarios is either distorted, taken out of context, or flat-out false. This web site is for the intelligent nonspecialist who doesn't know what to make of these challenges to Shakespeare's authorship. Oxfordian books can be deceptively convincing to a reader who is unaware of the relevant historical background and unused to the rhetorical tricks used by Oxfordians. Our aim is to provide context where needed, expose misinformation passed off by Oxfordians as fact, and in general show the nonspecialist reader why professional Shakespeare scholars have so little regard for Oxfordian claims. We know from experience that we are not likely to convince any Oxfordians to change their views, but we hope that other readers will find something of value here. We will be updating and adding new material as time permits, and we welcome any comments or suggestions.

WILL THE REAL WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE PLEASE STAND UP An Internet WebQuest on the Shakespearean Authorship Question created by Ralph A. Bucci Charles W. Flanagan High School Introduction The Task ... Conclusion Introduction Welcome members of the jury as you hear a case that has been debated for more than 200 years. Listen with great care as you hear about the man who claims to have written more than 30 plays and produced over 200 sonnets and poems. Listen further as evidence is supplied for contenders that also lay claim to the authorship debate. Who really wrote William Shakespeare's plays and sonnets? The obvious answer to this question is the actor from Stratford-upon-Avon who goes by the name of William Shakespeare, or is it Shakspere like it appears on his baptism record and as a signature on his will? The evidence for the other candidates all seem very persuasive until the next set of evidence is presented which seems to confound the problem. But with all of this information out on the table, conspiracy theorists just might be on to something. Sit back and sift through the evidence and see which authority offers the most conclusive proof in your estimation. In this way you will become more informed and able to formulate an opinion for your judge. Task WHO LAYS THE BEST CLAIM TO THE SHAKESPEAREAN AUTHORSHIP CONTROVERSY?

Sciences Health Arts College Journals Literature Science History Business ... Cite this Page Details about William Shakespeare’s life are sketchy, mostly mere surmise based upon court or other clerical records. His parents, John and Mary (Arden), were married about 1557; she was of the landed gentry, he a yeoman—a glover and commodities merchant. By 1568, John had risen through the ranks of town government and held the position of high bailiff, similar to mayor. William, the eldest son, was born in 1564, probably on April 23, several days before his baptism on April 26, 1564. That Shakespeare also died on April 23, 52 years later, may have resulted in the adoption of this birthdate. William no doubt attended the local grammar school in Stratford where his parents lived, and would have studied primarily Latin rhetoric, logic, and literature [Barnet, viii]. At age 18 (1582), William married Anne Hathaway, a local farmer’s daughter eight years his senior. Their first daughter (Susanna) was born six months later (1583), and twins Judith and Hamnet were born in 1585. Shakespeare’s life can be divided into three periods: the first 20 years in Stratford, which include his schooling, early marriage, and fatherhood; the next 25 years as an actor and playwright in London; and the last five in retirement back in Stratford where he enjoyed moderate wealth gained from his theatrical successes. The years linking the first two periods are marked by a lack of information about Shakespeare, and are often referred to as the “dark years”; the transition from active work into retirement was gradual and cannot be precisely dated [Boyce, 587].

William Shakespeare History Letters Plague Return to the Globe Theatre ... Explore Outside of Virtual Renaissance (JPEG 13k) You say that you want to know about William Shakespeare? Well, I hope that the gossip Lady Chitterly hasn't filled your mind with rubbish about Will's past in Stratford. He loves his wife and children, don't let anyone tell you differently. But when a genius - yes, a genius - is called by the muses, he must not deny those very voices. (JPEG 28k) ] Shakespeare was born in this house in 1564. The Bard and I go back a long way to when he first came to London in 1587. A sad sight! No money, no job, but a burning desire to do whatever he had to do to be a player and poet for the stage - even if it meant tending the audience's horses while they were at a play. (JPEG 30k) He first worked for the Queen's Company as poet to rewrite plays that they were performing that year - even got on stage. Not sure which he gets more pleasure out of - the writing or the performing. Over these past years, Will has written Loves Labors Lost, Romeo and Juliet, Richard II, Julius Caesar, Henry V, and Hamlet , Othello, King Lear

Home News Media Coverage Game Information Install Arden Improve Arden Specs Credits Links SWI Terranova Home Arden: World Of William Shakespeare “Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this son of York” - Richard, Duke of Gloucester The War of the Roses is coming to an end. For decades, the royal houses of Lancaster and York have been locked in a civil war, vying for the throne of England. At the moment, King Edward IV of York has obtained the crown, however, the relative peace brought on by his rule may soon come to an end. Richard, Duke of Gloucester, fellow York and brother to Edward, lurks not far off in the shadows of the king’s court. Envious of the king and despised by the queen, Richard bides his time for a chance at the crown. In wait, he plots a master plan to put himself upon the throne – a course of actions that will showcase his piety, mask his villainy, and deal with other potential contenders by any means necessary. If Richard’s plan comes to fruition, many fear it may only further darken the clouds that hang over the royal house of York. That being so, a mighty hero may be required to remove the crown from Richard’s head by force. It would appear that this jockeying for power and internal feuding is not limited to the royal throne and its houses. Echoed within the numerous towns of medieval Somerset, one may see that different stages of such a story are being played out across the countryside and amongst its local inhabitants. Through interacting with these townsfolk and learning their accounts of recent events, one may gain insight into Richard’s plan, the infighting of the house of York, and the close of the royal War of the Roses.
