 Shakespeare's reputation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The myth of the unappreciated 18th-century Shakespeare was proposed at the beginning of the 19th century by the Romantics, in support of their view of 18th-century literary criticism as mean, formal, and rule-bound, which was contrasted with their own reverence for the poet as prophet and genius.
Shakespeare became an important emblem of national pride in the 19th century, which was the heyday of the British Empire and the acme of British power in the world.
The growth of Shakespeare's reputation is illustrated by a timeline of Shakespeare criticism, from John Dryden's "when he describes any thing, you more than see it, you feel it too" (1668) to Thomas Carlyle's estimation of Shakespeare as the "strongest of rallying-signs" (1841) for an English identity.

 William shakespeare
Shakespeares professional life in London was marked by a number of financially advantageous arrangements that permitted him to share in the profits of his acting company, the Lord Chamberlains Company, later called the Kings Men, and its two theatres, the Globe Theatre and the Blackfriars.
Shakespeares reputation as perhaps the greatest of all dramatists was not achieved during his lifetime.
Also, during the first half of the 18th century Shakespeare began to be afforded the role of English national poet, a process that reached its culmination in the installation of a memorial statue in Westminster Abbey in 1741 and a huge Jubilee festival, staged in 1764 to celebrate the bicentenary of his birth.

 FASTOLF - LoveToKnow Article on FASTOLF   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
He was son of a Norfolk gentleman, John Fastolf of Caister, is said to have been squire to ThomasMowbray, duke of Norfolk, before 1398, served with Thomas of Lancaster in Ireland during 2405 and 1406, and in 1408 made a fortunate larriage with Millicent, widow of Sir Stephen Scrope of Castle Combe in Wiltshire.
He must have earned a good repute as a soldier, for in 1423 he was made governor of Maine and Anjou, and in February 1426 created a knight of the Garter.
There is some reason to suppose that Fastolf favored Lollardry, and this circumstance with the tradition of his braggart cowardice may have suggested the use of his name for the boon companion of Prince Hal, when Shakespeare found it expedient to drop that of Oldcastle.

 [EMLS 7.2 (September, 2001]: 15.1-19 Review of Jean E. Howard and Scott Cutler Shershow, eds, Marxist Shakespeares
Shakespeare's attitude to imperialism is not clear and Cohen reads in King John and Henry 5 doubts about, and in Troilus and Cressida strong denunciation of, imperial war.
Because Shakespeare is the national cultural icon, Bartolovich thinks that deconstructing him (even in the mildest sense of showing that he was not a lone writer but one of a team) necessarily deconstructs the nation of which he is an icon.
Shershow argues that the transcultural 'Shakespeare' emerged within the solution of a particular religious and economic dilemma of the early modern period which was the constant injunction that Christians be thrifty and yet give things away.

 Shakespeare Authorship
He points out that nobody in Shakespeare's day or for centuries afterward thought that the plays displayed an accurate knowledge of royal courts (in fact, the opposite was the case), and that modern social historians familiar with 16th-century court life have come to a similar conclusion.
David Kathman's essay illustrates that Shakespeare's closest friends in Stratford were actually a rather cultured lot, and that their hometown bore little resemblance to the cesspool depicted by Oxfordians.
In Shakespeare's Knowledge of Italy, the Classics, and the Law, David Kathman focuses on three areas where antistratfordians have often claimed that the plays exhibit knowledge beyond the ability of William Shakespeare of Stratford: Italy, the classics, and law.

Categorized as one of Shakespeares "later tragedies," Hamlet and its namesake hero display fully the mature Bards extraordinary talents.
But while Hamlet has been the subject of admiring critical commentary since Elizabethan times, it has also developed a reputation as a difficult work to analyze, one that features a very complicated central character, addresses many complex themes, and presents the reader with a multi-layered text which defies easy interpretation.
