Shakespeare in the Theatre: The King's Men de Lucy Munro

Shakespeare in the Theatre: The King's Men: Shakespeare in the Theatre

Autor Lucy Munro
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 apr 2020
Created when James I granted royal patronage to the former Chamberlain's Men in 1603, the King's Men were the first playing company to exercise a transformative influence on Shakespeare's plays. Not only did Shakespeare write his plays with them in mind, but they were also the first group to revive his plays, and the first to have them revised, either by Shakespeare himself or by other dramatists after his retirement. Drawing on theatre history, performance studies, cultural history and book history,Shakespeare in the Theatre: The King's Menreappraises the company as theatre artists, analysing in detail the performance practices, cultural contexts and political pressures that helped to shape and reshape Shakespeare's plays between 1603 and 1642. Reconsidering casting and acting styles, staging and playing venues, audience response, influence and popularity, and local, national and international politics, the book presents case-studies of performances ofMacbeth,The Tempest,The Winter's Tale,Richard II,Henry VIII,OthelloandPericlesalongside a broader reappraisal of the repertory of the company and the place of Shakespeare's plays within it.

Recenzii

An outstanding account of the history of the company which actually helped to create Shakespeare . [the book's] careful analysis of the available evidence as well as its broader commentary on the practices and decisions which sustained the company's fortunes are to be applauded.
An incisive, engaging, imaginative, and accessible book that deserves a place on the bookshelves and reading lists of all Shakespeare scholars . [a] lucid study which manages the rare feat of offering a clear and detailed introduction to a historically significant topic while also breaking new ground in its analysis and approach.
Munro's meticulous archival research has allowed her to piece together an often conjectural but fascinating account of the King's Men . It is as much Munro's delicious turn of phrase as the detail she excavates from her reading that brings to life these long-forgotten players.
