King Henry IV, Part 1 pdf

威廉·莎士比亚（英语：William Shakespeare）是英国著名诗人、剧作家和演员，尤其是英国文学和世界文学界。他被称为“爱国诗人”和“埃文史诗诗人”。叙事诗）和一些诗歌他的戏剧和作品已被翻译成所有活生生的语言，并且演出的次数远远超过任何其他剧作家。莎士比亚在沃里克郡埃文河畔斯特拉特福出生长大。他在 18 岁时与安妮海瑟薇结婚，并育有三个孩子：苏珊娜和双胞胎、朱迪思和哈姆内特。 1585 年至 1592 年间，他在伦敦以演员、作家和合伙人的身份开始了他成功的职业生涯，他在一家名为“张伯伦勋爵手下”（后来被称为“国王手下”）的剧院公司工作。 49 岁时（约 1613 年），他退休到斯特拉特福，三年后在那里去世。莎士比亚私生活的记录很少且有限。这引发了人们对他的外貌、性取向、宗教信仰以及归属于他的作品是否为他人所写的许多猜测。这种观点和推测经常受到批评，因为它们没有提到他当时生活记录很少的事实。莎士比亚在 1589 年至 1613 年间创作了他最著名的大部分作品。他早期的戏剧集中在喜剧和历史上，被认为是该类型有史以来最好的作品。然后，直到大约 1608 年，他转向写悲剧，因为他在那个时期的作品中有《哈姆雷特》、《奥赛罗》、《李尔王》和《麦克白》，所有这些都被认为是英国文学中最好的作品。在他生命的后期，他转向与其他剧作家合作写悲喜剧（也称为浪漫）。在他的一生中，他的许多戏剧都以不同质量和准确性的版本出版。 1623 年，他的两位演员约翰·海明斯和亨利·康德尔出版了一部名为《第一对开本》的明确文本，这是莎士比亚死后收集的戏剧作品集的一个版本，其中包括我们现在所知道的关于他的大部分戏剧。本卷与本·琼森 (Ben Jonson) 的一首诗一起出版，诗人在他现在著名的名言中严厉地向剧作家致敬，“不是为了这个时代，而是为了所有时代。”在整个 20 世纪和 21 世纪，莎士比亚的作品通过新的研究和表演运动不断地被修改和重新发现。他的戏剧和文化仍然很受欢迎，并在世界各地不同的文化和政治背景下被研究、不断地表演和重新诠释。

King Henry IV, Part 1 pdf 威廉·莎士比亚

avid Scott Kastan lucidly explores the remarkable richness and the ambitious design of King Henry IV Part 1 and shows how these complicate any easy sense of what kind of play it is. Conventionally regarded as a history play, much of it is in fact conspicuously invented fiction, and Kastan argues that the non-historical, comic plot does not simply parody the historical action but by its existence raises questions about the very nature of history. The full and engaging introduction devotes extensive discussion to the play's language, indicating how its insistent economic vocabulary provides texture for the social concerns of the play and focuses attention on the central relationship between value and political authority. Kastan also covers the recurrence of the word "honor" in the text and the role that women play. Appendices provide the sources of 1 Henry IV, discussions of Shakespeare's metrics, and the history of the manuscript. The appendix on casting features a doubling chart to show which characters may be played by one actor. Photographic images of the original Q0 Fragment, which is assumed to have been printed in Peter Short's printing house in 1598, appear in the fifth appendix. Finally, a reference section provides a list of abbreviations and references, a catalog of Shakespeare’s works and works partly by Shakespeare, and citations for the modern productions mentioned in the text, other collated editions of Shakespeare's work, and other related reading. The Arden Shakespeare has developed a reputation as the pre-eminent critical edition of Shakespeare for its exceptional scholarship, reflected in the thoroughness of each volume. An introduction comprehensively contextualizes the play, chronicling the history and culture that surrounded and influenced Shakespeare at the time of its writing and performance, and closely surveying critical approaches to the work. Detailed appendices address problems like dating and casting, and analyze the differing Quarto and Folio sources. A full commentary by one or more of the play’s foremost contemporary scholars illuminates the text, glossing unfamiliar terms and drawing from an abundance of research and expertise to explain allusions and significant background information. Highly informative and accessible, Arden offers the fullest experience of Shakespeare available to a reader.
