(filed under: Shakespeare ) * stock image, actual book may vary In a magnificent feat of re-creating sixteenth-century London and Stratford, bestselling biographer and novelist Peter Ackroyd brings William Shakespeare to life in the manner of a contemporary rather than a biographer. Following his magisterial and ingenious re-creations of the lives of Chaucer, Dickens, T. S. Eliot, William Blake, and Sir Thomas More, Ackroyd delivers his crowning achievement with this definitive and imaginative biographical masterpiece. Thousands of books have been written about the playwright, but none has borne Ackroyd s unique and accessible stamp. His method is to position the playwright in the context of his world, exploring everything from Stratford s humble town to its fields of wildflowers; discerning influences on the plays from unexpected quarters; and entering London with the playwright as modern theatre, as we know it, is just beginning to emerge. Writing as though we are observing Shakespeare and his circle of friends, patrons, managers, and fellow actors and writers, Ackroyd is able to see Shakespeare's genius from within, so we feel that Ackroyd the writer merges with Shakespeare the writer, the poet, the man; and thus with great sympathy and clarity we experience the way in which Shakespeare worked. Shakespeare: The Biography is quite unlike other more analytic biographies that have been written. Rather, Peter Ackroyd has used his skill, his extraordinary knowledge, and his historical intuition to craft this major full-scale book on one of the most towering figures of the English langu $12.00 Anderson, Mark Shakespeare By Another Name: A Biography Of Edward De Vere, Earl Of Oxford, The Man Who Was Shakespeare Gotham Books 2005 hardcover.

(filed under: Shakespeare ) * stock image, actual book may vary A triumph of literary detective work: the first popular biography of the adventurous Elizabethan earl whose life and letters indicate that he was the true author of the works of Shakespeare William Shaksper of Stratford was an actor and entrepreneur who had little education, never left England, and apparently owned no books. In the centuries since his death more and more questions have arisen about the true source of the plays and poetry conventionally attributed to him. Now journalist Mark Anderson s page-turning and groundbreaking new biography Shakespeare by Another Name offers tantalizing proof that it was the 17th Earl of Oxford, Edward de Vere a courtier, spendthrift, scholar, traveler, scoundrel, patron, and prolific ghostwriter of state propaganda who actually created this timeless body of work. Weaving together a wealth of evidence uncovered in ten years of research, Anderson brings to life a colorful figure whose biography presents countless mirror images of the works of Shakespeare. De Vere lived in Venice during his twenties racking up debt with the city s money- lenders Merchant of Venice ; his notorious jealousy of his first wife spawned both self- critical works Othello, The Winter s Tale and self-mocking japes The Comedy of Errors ; an extramarital affair led to courtly disgrace Much Ado About Nothing as well as street fighting between his supporters and rivals Romeo and Juliet . Anderson contends that the only way de Vere s compromising works including brutally honest portraits of the powerful elite at Queen Elizabeth I s court could ever be published was $7.50 Appel, Libby; Frlachmann, Michael Shakespeare's Women: A Playscript for Performance and Analysis Southern Illinois Univ Pr 1986 Soft Cover.

Answering that question remains the central aim of this new edition of a guide that has been a much admired mainstay of Shakespeare studies for two decades. Thoroughly revised and updated, this widely used teaching and study tool adds concise analyses of more than 100 new books on Shakespeare published since the 1987 edition. It also greatly expands the section on the history plays and provides separate new categories for film and television and for culture studies focusing upon seasonal festivities, hospitality, courtship rituals, sexuality, and other Renaissance social practices. Like its predecessors, the third edition continues to provide a thoughtful overview of the development and present state of Shakespeare scholarship and its extraordinarily diverse critical approaches including sections on feminism and gender studies, Shakespeare's Romances, poststructuralism, and the new historicism as well as summaries and evaluations of scores of bibliographies, periodicals, monographs, and reference books. For beginning and advanced students alike, the guide offers practical advice for doing research and writing critical papers on Shakespeare including how to select and develop topics, prepare a working bibliography and outline, take notes, avoid plagiarism, and use appropriate documentation following the MLA system. Students will find especially instructive the new model research paper, which provides an easy-to-understand example. $6.99 Berkman, Pamela Rafael Her Infinite Variety: Stories of Shakespeare and the Women He Loved Simon & Schuster 2001 Trade Paperback. light shelf wear; remainder mark.

Starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, these taut, well-written broadcasts often dealt with questions only hinted at or left unanswered by the original Conan Doyle stories. Recently, an entire season of broadcasts was discovered, resulting in the 13 new mystery-adventures collected in this book. Join Holmes Watson as they struggle with a headless monk on the mist-shrouded moors; as they discover how a priceless painting was stolen from a locked room; or as they try to help a terrified man who wakes up each morning with blood on his hands. Based on the Denis Green Anthony Boucher radio plays, and written in book form by Ken Greenwald, these tales present Holmes and Watson at their absolute sleuthing best.

The omission of her name from Shakespeare's will has been interpreted as evidence that she was nothing more than an unfortunate mistake from which Shakespeare did well to distance himself. While Shakespeare is above all the poet of marriage repeatedly in his plays, constant wives redeem unjust and deluded husbands scholars persist in positing the worst about the writer's own spouse. In Shakespeare's Wife , Germaine Greer boldly breaks new ground, combining literary-historical techniques with documentary evidence about life in Stratford, to reset the story of Shakespeare's marriage in its social context. With deep insight and intelligence, she offers daring and thoughtful new theories about the farmer's daughter who married England's greatest poet, painting a vivid portrait of a remarkable woman. A passionate and perceptive work of first-rate scholarship that reclaims this maligned figure from generations of scholarly neglect and misogyny, Shakespeare's Wife poses bold questions and opens new fields of investigation and research.   NEXT 23--> 1 2
