Book Description
Most of Shakespeare’s tragedies have a family drama at their heart. This book brings these relationships to life, offering a radical new perspective on the tragic heroes and their dilemmas. Family Dramas: Intimacy, Power and Systems in Shakespeare's Tragedies focusses on the interactions and dialogues between people on stage, linking their intimate emotional worlds to wider social and political contexts. Since family relationships absorb and enact social ideologies, their conflicts often expose the conflicts that all ideologies contain. The complexities, contradictions and ambiguities of Shakespeare’s portrayals of individuals and their relationships are brought to life, while wider power structures and social discourses are shown to reach into the heart of intimate relationships and personal identity. Surveying relevant literature from Shakespeare studies, the book introduces the ideas behind the family systems approach to literary criticism. Explorations of gender relationships feature particularly strongly in the analysis since it is within gender that intimacy and power most compellingly intersect and frequently collide. For Shakespeare lovers and psychotherapists alike, this application of systemic theory opens a new perspective on familiar literary territory.

The Plays of William Shakespeare: A Modernized Compilation
Author: William ShakespearePublisher: Industrial Systems Research
ISBN: 0906321905
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 2699
Book Description
William Shakespeare – born in April 1564 in Stratford on Avon – was the greatest dramatist of the age. By his retirement around 1613, he had created a body of literature unparalleled in its brilliance and impact on the English language. His plays featured rich prose and poetry, complex characters, and explorations of universal themes. They introduced many new words and phrases into the language and set high standards for writers of dramatic verse everywhere. Shakespeare wrote in various genres and styles. Many of the plays combined comedy, real history, romance, and misfortune. This expanded the dramatic possibilities. On top of this, the playwright constantly experimented and innovated to create an artistic product that satisfied mixed audiences. These positive features or selling points of Shakespeare’s plays helped boost the theatre in general as a medium of mass entertainment. Plays became popular across-the-board – attracting all kinds of people and firmly establishing the theatre as a central cultural institution. Large audiences continue to patronize the great Shakespeare plays in live and filmed versions today – notably · "A Midsummer Night's Dream" – the whimsical comedy with several intertwining plots surrounding a celebrity marriage; · “Hamlet” – the story of a Prince of Denmark grappling with the death of his father and seeking revenge against a murdering uncle; · "Henry IV, Part 1" and "Henry IV, Part 2" – following the political struggles of King Henry IV and the coming-of-age of his son, Prince Hal, who later became Henry V; · “King Lear” – the aging king whose decision to divide his kingdom among his three daughters has tragic effects; · "Much Ado About Nothing", with its themes of love and deception, witty banter, and humorous misunderstandings throughout; · “Othello”, exploring themes of jealousy, betrayal, and racism in the tragic story of a Moorish general; · "Richard III", depicting the rise and fall of a scheming, manipulative, and murderous English monarch; · "The Tempest" exploring themes of magic, betrayal, and forgiveness on a remote island; · "The Winter's Tale" combining misfortune and comedy with a story line spanning a long period and strong themes of jealousy and redemption; and · "Twelfth Night" – the compelling tale of mistaken identity and love featuring a young woman disguise d as a man. However, four centuries-plus have inevitably lessened the readability and understandability of the original literary productions. This is a modernized compilation of the dramas – seeking to cut out archaic words, outdated grammar and spelling, and complex old-fashioned syntax while preserving their essence. Concise study guides go with each of the plays. These provide details of their dates (where available) and the complex characters and important events occurring in them. They also summarize the overall themes and plots and assess their general significance as pieces of dramatic art.
