Dear Reader, When I was in eighth grade, my English teacher had us read Much Ado About Nothing. A traveling troupe of players was coming to my hometown to perform it and she wanted us to be very familiar with the play by the time we saw it. We didn't just read it silently, we read it aloud, we performed it, we discussed it, we picked it apart, and we put it back together again. That experience opened doors for me, because "Shakespeare" was no longer a confusing jumble of antique words. Shakespeare turned out to be a complex, insightful playwright whom I could understand and relate to, at the age of 13. This book is an overview of Shakespeare's work with a heavy emphasis on acting and getting involved in the material. You'll learn about Shakespeare's life and the times he lived in, and... Less

Although William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language, he traditionally receives little notice in studies of children's literature. However, there is a fascinating relationship between Shakespeare and children's interests, and the Bard's works have been successfully adapted for children's use over several centuries. This book continues and parallels the author's previous study, Chaucer as Children's Literature, as part of a greater endeavor to evaluate the significance of traditional literature retold as children's literature in modern English studies. It examines the ways in which William Shakespeare's stories have been adapted for children, particularly in Mary and Charles Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare, which was almost immediately recognized...

It charts the number and distribution of copies at the beginning and end of the twentieth century, surveys the nineteen facsimile editions since 1807, and assesses earlier listings of the work since 1824, including Sidney Lee's Census (1902). It also indicates the history of the volumes' ownership-- ranging from country parson to President of Standard Oil.

This volume draws together thirteen important essays on the concept of race in Shakespeare's drama. The authors, who themselves reflect racial and geographical diversity, explore issues of ethnography, politics, religion, identity, nationalism, and the distribution of power in Shakespeare's plays. They write from a variety of perspectives, drawing on Elizabethan and Jacobean historical studies and recent critical theory, attending to performances of the plays, as well as to the text. An introductory essay sets the context for the ensuing chapters, most of which are reprinted from volumes of Shakespeare Survey.
