The Winter's Tale is a play by William Shakespeare, first published in the First Folio in 1623. Although it was listed as a comedy when it first appeared, some modern editors have relabeled the play a romance. Some critics, among them W. W. Lawrence (Lawrence, 9-13), consider it to be one of Shakespeare's "problem plays", because the first three acts are filled with intense psychological drama, while the last two acts are comedic and supply a happy ending.

Unlock the more straightforward side of The Winter’s Tale with this concise and insightful summary and analysis! This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Winter’s Tale by William Shakespeare, a so-called ‘problem play’ that is believed to be one of the last works he ever wrote. It tells the story of Leontes, King of Sicily, who comes to (mistakenly) believe that his wife Hermione is having an affair with his friend Polixenes, King of Bohemia. After attempting to have Polixenes killed, he publicly accuses Hermione of adultery and banishes their newborn daughter. However, he comes to his senses after the apparent deaths of both Hermione and their young son, and spends the remainder of the play trying to atone for his actions. William Shakespeare is considered one of the greatest playwrights in English literary history, and the popularity of his works remains undiminished even today, several centuries after his death.

Download The Thirteenth Tale Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
A #1 New York Times bestseller, The Thirteenth Tale is part contemporary, part historical with mysterious threads about family secrets and the magic of books and storytelling weaving the two together. All children mythologize their birth . . . So begins the prologue of reclusive author Vida Winter's collection of stories, which are as famous for the mystery of the missing thirteenth tale as they are for the delight and enchantment of the twelve that do exist. The enigmatic Winter has spent six decades creating various outlandish histories for herself. Now old and ailing, she at last wants to tell the truth about her extraordinary past. She summons biographer Margaret Lea, a young woman who is struck by a very curious parallel between Winter's life and her own. As Vida exposes the history she meant to bury for good, Margaret is mesmerized. It is a tale of gothic strangeness, of a remote estate, feral children, a governess, a ghost, and a devastating fire. In this love letter to reading, Diane Setterfield will keep you guessing, make you wonder, move you to tears and laughter and, in the end, deposit you breathless yet satisfied back upon the shore of your everyday world.

The Winter's Tale, Paraphrased. This book converts William Shakespeare's famous play into contemporary English. Modern terms and language replace the renowned playwright's antiquated references and phrases. You don't need to dig up obscure expressions to understand the gist of Shakespeare's dialogue. The impact remains intact without all the baggage. This paraphrasing demystifies the archaic lingo of the 1600's but retains the spice of Shakespeare's cut-and-thrust dialogue and raucous comedy. It is easy to read but hard to put down. Additionally, 90 pictures set the stage for the time when kings, queens, and noblemen ruled the land. These vivid images, most of which are masterpieces, frame the successes and failures of the story’s heroes, villains, and fumbling stooges. The old becomes alive, tangible and tasty. You will be refreshed and enlightened to discover this window to the author and his acclaimed tragicomedy. It brings the charm and panache of long ago to modern times. "The Winter's Tale, Paraphrased" is a friend to all who love the stage and entertaining adventures.

Download The Duchess of Malfi Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
More widely studied and more frequently performed than ever before, John Webster's The Duchess of Malfi is here presented in an accessible and thoroughly up-to-date edition. Based on the Revels Plays text, the notes have been augmented to cast further light both on Webster's amazing dialogue and on the stage action. An entirely new introduction sets the tragedy in the context of pre-Civil War England and gives a revealing view of its imagery and dramatic action. From its well-documented early performances to the two productions seen in the West End of London in the 1995-96 season, a stage history gives an account of the play in performance. Students, actors, directors and theatre-goers will all find here a reappraisal of Webster's artistry in the greatest age of English theatre, which highlights why it has lived on stage with renewed force in the last decades of the twentieth century.
