First, let me say that I do not contend\n      that the Dark Lady was Mary Fitton, because when the case in Mary's favor\n      (or against her, if you please to consider that the Dark Lady was no\n      better than she ought to have been) was complete, a portrait of Mary came\n      to light and turned out to be that of a fair lady, not of a dark one. That\n      settles the question, if the portrait is authentic, which I see no reason\n      to doubt, and the lady's hair undyed, which is perhaps less certain.\n      Shakespear rubbed in the lady's complexion in his sonnets mercilessly; for\n      in his day black hair was as unpopular as red hair was in the early days\n      of Queen Victoria. Any tinge lighter than raven black must be held fatal\n      to the strongest claim to be the Dark Lady. And so, unless it can be shewn\n      that Shakespear's sonnets exasperated Mary Fitton into dyeing her hair and\n      getting painted in false colors, I must give up all pretence that my play\n      is historical. The later suggestion of Mr Acheson that the Dark Lady, far\n      from being a maid of honor, kept a tavern in Oxford and was the mother of\n      Davenant the poet, is the one I should have adopted had I wished to be up\n      to date. Why, then, did I introduce the Dark Lady as Mistress Fitton?\n    \n\n      Well, I had two reasons. The play was not to have been written by me at\n      all, but by Mrs Alfred Lyttelton; and it was she who suggested a scene of\n      jealousy between Queen Elizabeth and the Dark Lady at the expense of the\n      unfortunate Bard. Now this, if the Dark Lady was a maid of honor, was\n      quite easy. If she were a tavern landlady, it would have strained all\n      probability. So I stuck to Mary Fitton. But I had another and more\n      personal reason. I was, in a manner, present at the birth of the Fitton\n      theory. Its parent and I had become acquainted; and he used to consult me\n      on obscure passages in the sonnets, on which, as far as I can remember, I\n      never succeeded in throwing the faintest light, at a time when nobody else\n      thought my opinion, on that or any other subject, of the slightest\n      importance. I thought it would be friendly to immortalize him, as the\n      silly literary saying is, much as Shakespear immortalized Mr W. H., as he\n      said he would, simply by writing about him.\n    \n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 1050 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Shaw, Bernard \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Sep 1, 1997 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Shaw, Bernard,1856-1950 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212100108445,"sku":"gb-1050-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/1050_1e3ff9ae-56fd-4812-b366-7b079b7c46eb.jpg?v=1671250004"},{"product_id":"a-yorkshire-tragedy-gb-4255","title":"A Yorkshire Tragedy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA Yorkshire Tragedy\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis header should be the first thing seen when anyone starts to\r\nview the etext.

As botany deals inductively\r\nwith the phenomena of vegetable life and traces the laws underlying\r\nthem, as economy reviews and systematises on inductive principles the\r\nfacts of commerce, so there is a criticism not less inductive in\r\ncharacter which has for its subject-matter literature.\nThe presumption is clearly that literary criticism should follow other\r\nbranches of thought in becoming inductive. Ultimately, science means no\r\nmore than organised thought; and amongst the methods of organisation\r\ninduction is the most practical. To begin with the observation of facts;\r\nto advance from this through the arrangement of observed facts; to use \r\npriori ideas, instinctive notions of the fitness of things, insight into\r\nfar probabilities, only as side-lights for suggesting convenient\r\narrangements, the value of which is tested only by the actual\r\nconvenience in arranging they afford; to be content with the sure\r\nresults so obtained as 'theory' in the interval of waiting for still\r\nsurer results based on a yet wider accumulation of facts: this is a\r\nregimen for healthy science so widely established in different tracts of\r\nthought as almost to rise to that universal acceptance which we call\r\ncommon sense. Indeed the whole progress of science consists in winning\r\nfresh fields of thought to the inductive methods.\n\n2\r\nYet the great mass of literary criticism at the present\r\nmoment is of a nature widely removed from induction. The\r\nprevailing notions of criticism are dominated by the idea of\r\nassaying, as if its function were to test the soundness and\r\nestimate the comparative value of literary work. Lord\r\nMacaulay, than whom no one has a better right to be heard\r\non this subject, compares his office of reviewer to that of a\r\nking-at-arms, versed in the laws of literary precedence, marshalling\r\nauthors to the exact seats to which they are entitled.\r\nAnd, as a matter of fact, the bulk of literary criticism,\r\nwhether in popular conversation or in discussions by professed\r\ncritics, occupies itself with the merits of authors and\r\nworks; founding its estimates and arguments on canons of\r\ntaste, which are either assumed as having met with general\r\nacceptance, or deduced from speculations as to fundamental\r\nconceptions of literary beauty.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 43435 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Moulton, Richard G.

Shakespeare, as it would appear, was utterly regardless\r\nof literary fame; he had, as we have seen, one\r\nsole object in view, to acquire as much money as would\r\nenable him to quit the hurry and bustle of London, and\r\nsettle down in his native Stratford-on-Avon as a man\r\nof independent property, and be, if possible, the founder\r\nof a family. Pouring forth, therefore, his tragic and\r\ncomic strains, with as little apparent effort as the songsters\r\nof the grove warble their native notes, he set no\r\nvalue on them but as they filled the Globe and the\r\nBlackfriars and thus tended to the realization of the\r\ngreat object of all his ambition; and he never gave a\r\nsingle one of them to the press, as was done by Jonson\r\nand others who sought for literary fame by their dramas.\r\nHence, though the verse is always melodious, we must\r\nnot look in them for the finish and perfection which we\r\nfind in those of a Racine or a Molire; we must, on the\r\ncontrary, be prepared to meet with all the marks of\r\nhaste and carelessness, with contradictions and even with\r\nabsurdities. It would really dismay one to think of\r\ntheir being submitted to the ordeal through which the\r\npieces of the great Corneille have been made to pass by\r\nVoltaire. Corneille, by the way, like Shakespeare, valued\r\nhis plays by the money they produced.\nCopies of about one-half of his plays were surreptitiously\r\nobtained by the booksellers, who printed them\r\nwith more or less of care; but of this he took no heed:\r\nand when he finally retired to Stratford, he left in the\r\nhands of his fellowplayers the manuscripts of his plays,46\r\npublished and unpublished. There is not the slightest\r\nground for supposing that he ever had any intention of\r\ncollecting and publishing his dramatic writingsa thing\r\nof which there had as yet been no instance. In 1616,\r\nthe very year of Shakespeare's death, Ben Jonson, who,\r\nwidely different from the great dramatist, set a high\r\nvalue, and a just one, on his plays as literary compositions,\r\ncollected all he had written up to that date and\r\npublished them, with his other poetical pieces, in a folio\r\nvolume. It may have been this that induced Heminge\r\nand Condell, two members of the company to which\r\nShakespeare had belonged, to make a collection of his\r\npieces also, and give them to the world in a folio volume.\r\nFor this purpose they used the 4to impressions of such\r\nplays as had been printed, making some corrections and\r\nalterations in them from the playhouse copies; and\r\nadding to these the manuscript plays which were in the\r\npossession of the theatre, they put the whole into the\r\nhands of the publishers, one of whom, Edward Blount,\r\nwho was a man of some literary pretensions, is supposed,\r\nnot without probability, to have undertaken the\r\ntask of seeing the work through the press. Such was\r\nthe origin of the celebrated folio of 1623, of which it\r\nwas, in my opinion most justly, said by the late Mr.\r\nHunter, that \"perhaps in the whole annals of English\r\ntypography there is no record of any book of any extent\r\nand any reputation having been dismissed from the\r\npress with less care and attention;\" while Mr. Knight\r\n(who ought to have known a good deal about such\r\nmatters) boldly declares that \"perhaps, all things considered,\r\nthere never was a book so correctly printed!\"\r\nSuch as it is, however, it and the previous 4to impressions\r\nare the only authority we have for the text of these\r\nmarvellous creations of the human intellect.\nFew, I should hope, will refuse to assent to the two\r\nfollowing postulates.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 45160 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Keightley, Thomas \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Mar 17, 2014 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Keightley, Thomas,1789-1872 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43221529919645,"sku":"gb-45160-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/45160.jpg?v=1671605043"},{"product_id":"will-shakespeare-an-invention-in-four-acts-gb-50712","title":"Will Shakespeare: An Invention in Four Acts","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWill Shakespeare: An Invention in Four Acts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe curtain rises on the living\r\nroom of a sixteenth century cottage.

When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children--an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare's only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare's working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company.

When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children--an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare's only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare's working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBarbara A.

Drawing on both critical and theatrical history, he shows how this fusion makes Hamlet seem a much more 'problematic' play than it was when it originally appeared in the First Folio of 1623. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003e For over 100 years \u003cstrong\u003eOxford World's Classics \u003c\/strong\u003ehas made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children--an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare's only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare's working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBarbara A.

The Countess Olivia, a woman with her own household, attracts Duke Orsino. Two other would-be suitors are her pretentious steward, Malvolio, and Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Onto this scene arrive the twins Viola and Sebastian; previously caught in a shipwreck, each thinks the other has drowned. Viola disguises herself as a male page and enters Orsino's service. Orsino sends her as his envoy to Olivia--only to have Olivia fall in love with the messenger. The play complicates, then wonderfully untangles, these relationships.

When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children--an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare's only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare's working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBarbara A.
