Amazon.com: William Shakespeare the Complete Works: Books: William Shakespeare What is so great about this book is that the complete works of William Shakespeare are not only written, but also given extraordinary introductions to each play that are brilliantly written by Stanley Wells. As the great visionaries, he introduces in his works and obligates us to be part of it. The special experience of knowing that one can turn whenever one wants to such great works of literature, and explore them again is a very real one. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0517209764?v=glance   (1813 words)

Boston Cecilia: various works by Henry Purcell, Program Notes Purcell was a prolific creator of music for the theater, notably in the great semi-operas based on adaptations of Shakespeare and others, but also as a composer of incidental music, both instrumental and vocal, for a large number of late seventeenth-century English dramatic works. Purcell's association with the Abbey as a chorister and organist and his royal appointment offered him many opportunities to write music for the Anglican Church both in its grand public offices and for the more intimate climate of the Chapel Royal. Purcell scholar Peter Holman suggests it may have been composed for a state occasion, and perhaps in response to a string of French military and naval victories which caused great alarm in England. www.bostoncecilia.org /prognotes/purcell.html   (283 words)

Johann Sebastian Bach - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Johann Sebastian Bach (March 21, 1685 – July 28, 1750) was a German composer and organist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and keyboard drew together almost all of the strands of the baroque style and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Bach was best known during his lifetime as an organist, organ consultant, and composer of organ works both in the traditional German free genres such as preludes, fantasias, and toccatas, and stricter forms such as chorale preludes and fugues. Johann Sebastian Bach's contributions to music, or, to borrow a term popularised by his student Lorenz Christoph Mizler, "musical science" are frequently compared to the "original geniuses" of William Shakespeare in English literature and Isaac Newton in physics. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Johann_Sebastian_Bach   (5850 words)

Amazon.com: Tam Lin (The Fairy Tale Series): Books The ghost of a pregnant student who committed suicide, mysterious late-night horseback forays led by Professor Medeous and the appearance in a list of Shakespeare's actors of the names of three of the Classics Department scholars urge Janet on a dangerous quest to save her lover. Since reading this book I have read so many works of great literature (like the poetry of Keats, and _The Lady's Not for Burning_, and _Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead_, and the poetry of Pope) that I wouldn't have been introduced to, otherwise. Hopefully a reprint will be in the works soon, because I encourage everyone out there to get their hands on a copy as this is definitely a desert island book! www.amazon-electronic.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0812544501?v=glance   (2421 words)

William Shakespeare He is believed to have written most of his works between 1585 and 1613, although the exact dates and chronology of the plays attributed to him are not accurately known. Shakespeare's influence on the English-speaking world is reflected in the ready recognition afforded many quotations from Shakespearean plays, the titles of works based on Shakespearean phrases, and the many adaptations of his plays. Other indicators of contemporary influence are his inclusion in the top 10 of the "100 Greatest Britons" poll sponsored by the BBC, the frequent productions based on his work, such as the BBC Television Shakespeare, and the success of the fictional account of his life in the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love. www.brainyencyclopedia.com /encyclopedia/w/wi/william_shakespeare.html   (1876 words)

The Shakespeare Apocrypha Published in quarto form in 1607, with a title page attribution 'Written by W. It was claimed as Shakespeare's in a bookseller's catalogue of 1656, and then was added to the Third and Fourth Folios, but is not taken seriously now. More commonly called Woodstock, or Thomas of Woodstock, the primary title on the manuscript is The First Part of the Reign of Richard II; Thomas of Woodstock is then given as a secondary title.  Known through an incomplete and anonymous manuscript in the British Museum. Published in a quarto edition in 1662, but assigned in date from the early 1620s.  The title page gives the authors as Shakespeare and William Rowley, but the consensus is that Shakespeare had nothing to do with it, and Rowley probably shares authorship with Dekker or Middleton. www.republicofheaven.org.uk /sh_apocrypha.htm   (1872 words)
