Book Synopsis Shakespeare by : Katherine Duncan-Jones

Download or read book Shakespeare written by Katherine Duncan-Jones. This book was released on 2011. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "She examines Shakespeare's reputation both from his own viewpoint and from that of his contemporaries, and considers hostile responses as well as admiring ones. Arguing that Shakespeare was a powerful actor as well as a poet throughout his career, Katherine Duncan-Jones finds testimony to his already performing as well as writing during his teenage years in Stratford. At the other end of the chronological spectrum, elegies on him between 1616 and 1623 lament his physical departure from the public stage as well as the end of his creative life"--Back cover.

Book Synopsis Shakespeare: Upstart Crow to Sweet Swan by : Katherine Duncan-Jones

Download or read book Shakespeare: Upstart Crow to Sweet Swan written by Katherine Duncan-Jones. This book was released on 2014-02-13. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An original and provocative study of the evolution of Shakespeare's image, building on the success of Duncan-Jones' acclaimed biography, Shakespeare: An Ungentle Life. Taking a broadly chronological approach, she investigates Shakespeare's changing reputation, as a man, an actor and a poet, both from his own viewpoint and from that of his contemporaries. Many different categories of material are explored, including printed books, manuscripts, literary and non-literary sources. Rather than a biography, the book is an exploration with biographical elements. The change in public opinion in Shakespeare's time is quite startling: Henry Chettle attacked him as an 'upstart Crow' in 1592, an attack from which Shakespeare sought to defend himself; and yet by the time of the First Folio in 1623 he had become the 'Sweet Swan of Avon!' and was fast becoming the national treasure he remains today. This engaging and fascinating study brings the politics and fashions of Shakespeare's literary and theatrical world vividly to life.
