	William Shakespeare Biography
		Shakespeare's position with the Lord Chamberlain's Men was a source of professional stability that probably had a great deal to do with his growth and maturation as a writer.
		Shakespeare's apprentice comedies are quite "inventive" in many respects, particularly in the degree to which they "overgo" the conventions and devices the young playwright drew upon.
		Romance is also a key ingredient in the concluding arias of Shakespeare's next comedy, The Merchant of Venice, where Bassanio and Portia, Lorenzo and Jessica, and Gratiano and Nerissa celebrate the happy consummation of three love quests and contemplate the music of the spheres from a magical estate known symbolically as Belmont.

		Shakespeare, transformed from poet into postmodern industry, has long since succumbed to the "universal wolf" of commodity reification, a politico-economic dynamic the bard himself perhaps prophesied as Hugh Grady has recently argued in his analysis of Ulysses' speech on degree (Qtd.
		The phenomenon of Shakespeare in Bollywood is explored by Julie Sanders's fine analysis of Leslie Forbes's novel Bombay Ice that heavily draws from The Tempest to explore, as Sanders argues, the post-colonial problem of locating an indigenous Indian culture "in a sphere dominated by Western capitalists" (165).
		Overall, Sanders's novelists use Shakespeare and also modern criticism of him to warn the reader-and themselves-against conflating the normal with the natural or the meaningful with the closed and typical.Things may or may not seem exactly what they are.

	The Tempest Summary & Essays - William Shakespeare
		And while Shakespeare may have had a hand in The Two Noble Kinsman (written a decade or so after The Tempest and assigned to dual authorship), The Tempest is customarily identified as the Bard's last stage piece.
		The romance genre is distinguished by the inclusion (and synthesis) of these tragic, comic, and problematical ingredients and further marked by a happy ending (usually concluding with a masque or dance) in which all, or most, of the characters are brought into harmony.
		The play was composed by Shakespeare as a multi-sensory theater experience, with sound, and especially music, used to complement the sights of the play, and all of it interwoven by the author with lyrical textual passages that overflow with exotic images, trifling sounds, and a palpable lushness.

	Powell's Books - Reading Popular Romance in Early Modern England by Lori Humphrey Newcomb
		Lori Humphrey Newcomb examines the proliferation of romances in early modern England, as well as their vilification by elite writers.
		Using as her case study Robert Greenes Pandosto (1585), an Elizabethan prose romance that inspired Shakespeares late play, The Winters Tale, she shows that the two forms of literature influenced each other profoundly.

		William Shakespeare may have been the greatest playwright of all time, but his plays were probably MOST effective when they were performed during his day by his actors on his stage for his audience.

	William Shakespeare Shakespeare as a Writer of Comedy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Shakespeare's interest in comedy—in its conventions, characters, traditions, and forms—was both searching and lifelong.
		Even if we except the late romances as a separate but closely allied genre, we can count thirteen plays, one-third of Shakespeare's canon, as full-fledged experiments with dramatic comedy.
		When we add to that the recognition that some of Shakespeare's best comic characters and situations lie in other genres—witness Falstaff in the history plays, Mercutio and the Nurse in Romeo and Juliet, and the Clown-Gravedigger in Hamlet—we can say with assurance that a...

		My lectures will tend to emphasize Shakespeare's reworking of race, gender, sexuality, and the family in these plays, but I hope that the classroom will be a place of lively exchange, in which you feel free to challenge my ideas and to develop your own interests.
		Course Description: In this course we'll be studying Shakespeare's richest work in the London theater from early in his career to his retirement from the stage.
		To help visualize both the possibilities and problems of interpreting Shakespeare's texts, we'll view scenes on videotape as often as is practicable--and we'll try to leave time for some interactive conversation in class.
