Beschreibung

In 'A Glossary of Stuart and Tudor Words especially from the Dramatists', Walter W. Skeat meticulously compiles and elucidates the lexicon of the English language during the rich cultural tapestry of the Tudor and Stuart periods. This glossary serves not only as a lexical reference but also an insightful exploration into the language used by prominent dramatists of the era. By examining variations in meanings, etymologies, and contextual usages, Skeat highlights the intricate nuances that defined the poetic and theatrical landscapes of early modern England. Walter W. Skeat, a distinguished philologist and linguist, dedicated his academic career to understanding the evolution of the English language. A scholar of the Middle Ages and the early modern period, Skeat's profound expertise in Renaissance literature and linguistics significantly influenced his work on this glossary. His passion for elucidating the complexities of English, combined with his extensive studies on the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries, provided the foundational knowledge necessary to assemble this valuable resource. I highly recommend 'A Glossary of Stuart and Tudor Words' to scholars, linguists, and anyone interested in the literary heritage of early modern England. Skeat's authoritative and insightful analysis enriches our understanding of the language of the time, making it an essential reference for those studying the works of the great dramatists of the Tudor and Stuart eras.

Casey's new boyfriend Brett is handsome, romantic and devoted – a dream come true. He writes poetry! He makes quiche! For once in her life, Casey is in a relationship with a man who attends to her every whim and desire.
But when her suspicious sister Cynthia starts digging into Brett's past, she threatens to take away the one good thing that's ever happened to Casey…
Nancy Harris's play Somewhere Out There You is a romantic comedy with a twist, playfully unravelling the love stories we weave for ourselves and inviting us to question what compels us to tell them in the first place. It was first performed in 2023 at the Abbey Theatre, as part of Dublin Theatre Festival, directed by Wayne Jordan.

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare, long hailed as the history's greatest dramatic writer, has been lauded for his mastery of poetic expression, his insight into the human condition and his deep exploration into the psyche and motivations of his characters. These skills are perhaps best exemplified in the monologues he gives his various protagonists, villains and bit players.   From King Henry V's inspiring speech to his soldiers on the field of Agincourt to the villainous Merchant of Venice Shylock defending his own cruelty, to the shepherdess Phebe from "As You Like It" grappling with her sudden attraction to a young courtier, to Nick Bottom from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," awaking from the strangest dream in history, Shakespeare's monologues are short distillations of his larger themes - love and loss, fairness and inequity, power and envy, lust and purity.   Fort Raphael Publishing is proud to present - in this complete volume - the best of Shakespeare's greatest monologues, each of which captures a shining, brilliant moment from his plays that gives us a deeper understanding of each character, whether flattering, damning or inspiring.   Enjoy this collection of monologues from the greatest theatrical writer in the English language - William Shakespeare - performed by some of the finest classical actors in the business.
