-Titulo Original : A Year In The Life Of William Shakespeare 1599
-Fabricante :
HarperCollins
-Descripcion Original:
From Publishers Weekly The year 1599 was crucial in the Bards artistic evolution as well as in the historical upheavals he lived through. That years output-Henry V, Julius Caesar, As You Like It and (debatably) Hamlet-not only spans a shift in artistic direction and theatrical taste, but also echoes the intrigues of Queen Elizabeths court and the downfall of her favorite, the Earl of Essex. Like other Shakespeare biographers, Columbia professor Shapiro notes the importance of mundane events in Shakespeares art, starting here with the construction of the Globe Theatre and the departure of Will Kemp, the companys popular comic actor. Having a stable venue and repertory gave Shakespeare the space to write and experiment during the turmoil created by Essexs unsuccessful military ventures in Ireland, a threatened invasion by a second Spanish Armada and, finally, Essexs disastrous return to court. Shapiro is in a minority in arguing for Shakespeare initially composing Hamlet at the same time Essex was plotting a coup; theres little textual or documentary evidence for that dating. Still, Shapiros shrewd discussion of what is arguably Shakespeares greatest play, particularly its multiple versions, rounds out this accessible yet erudite work. Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. What accounts for Shakespeare’s transformation from talented poet and playwright to one of the greatest writers who ever lived? In this gripping account, James Shapiro sets out to answer this question, succeed[ing] where others have fallen short. (Boston Globe) 1599 was an epochal year for Shakespeare and England. During that year, Shakespeare wrote four of his most famous plays: Henry the Fifth, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and, most remarkably, Hamlet; Elizabethans sent off an army to crush an Irish rebellion, weathered an Armada threat from Spain, gambled on a fledgling East India Company, and waited to see who would succeed their aging and childless queen.James Shapiro illuminates both Shakespeare’s staggering achievement and what Elizabethans experienced in the course of 1599, bringing together the news and the intrigue of the times with a wonderful evocation of how Shakespeare worked as an actor, businessman, and playwright. The result is an exceptionally immediate and gripping account of an inspiring moment in history. From The New Yorker Instead of relying on the meagre evidence about Shakespeares personal life, Shapiros biography examines how public events left their mark on the four plays-Henry V, Julius Caesar, As You Like It, and Hamlet-that Shakespeare wrote during 1599, the year in which the thirty-five-year-old playwright went from being an exceptionally talented writer to one of the greatest who ever lived. The approach proves illuminating for the overtly political plays. Lines in Henry V allude to a rebellion in Ireland that Elizabeth I had recently sent the Earl of Essex to suppress. Chapters on As You Like It and Hamlet revert to more conventional textual analysis, interlarded with biographical speculations and digressions; for instance, Rosalinds journey to Arden may derive from Shakespeares annual trip to Stratford to see his wife and daughters, and the limbs with travel tired of the twenty-seventh sonnet perhaps reflect the poor condition of English highways. Copyright © 2005 The New Yorker From Booklist *Starred Review* The year 1599 was an extraordinary one for England. The great poet Edmund Spenser came in a huff from Ireland, urging that the natives there be put down (starvation was the means he urged). The Earl of Essex led an army across the Irish Sea to pacify the rebels; he spent thousands, knighted hundreds, and achieved a flimsy truce. The queens censors waxed vigilant; the second printing of a best-selling history, mildly critical of royalty, became kindling for a bonfire of satires
