Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare and the Welsh For the Welsh people everywhere the works of Shakespeare should possess a peculiar interest. Shakespeare, as these pages will disclose, knew the Welsh, if he did not know Wales; for in Stratford-on-Avon there existed, in his time, a veritable Welsh colony, and there is reason to think that he may have been on terms of the closest intimacy with more than one of its members. As a result, he has given us some notable portraits of the typical Welshman of his period. But not only was Shakespeare familiar with Welsh society; it seems reasonably proved that he had Welsh blood in his veins, and it may have been from the lips of a Welsh grandmother that he obtained his first knowledge of Welsh tradition and folklore, which, as we shall hope to show, exerted no small influence upon his dramatic and lyrical genius.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare and His Welsh Characters Then we have another universally accepted canon of Shakespearean criticism, viz., that this consistency of character was the result of a definite intention. As Coleridge explains: He never wrote at random, or hit upon points of character and conduct by chance and the smallest fragment of his mind, not infrequently gives a clue to a most perfect, regular, and consistent whole.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shakespeare Three or four years, as it is believed, after his marriage Shakespeare quitted his native town. 'he had, ' says his first biographer, Rowe, 'by a misfortune, common enough to young fellows, fallen into ill company, and, amongst them, some that made a frequent practice of deer-stealing engaged him more than once in robbing a park that belonged to Sir Thomas Lucy, of Charlecote, near Stratford. For this he was prosecuted by that gentleman, as he thought, somewhat too severely; and, in order to revenge that ill-usage, he made a ballad upon him. And though this, probably the first essay of his poetry, be lost, yet it is said to have been so very bitter that it re doubled the prosecution against him to that degree that he was obliged to leave his business and family in Warwickshire for some time, and shelter himself in London.' It seems likely that in essentials the story thus reported by Rowe is true, and a verse of the ballad - whether genuine or written, as is more likely, to suit the story - has been given by Oldys. In The Merry Wives of Windsor Justice Shallow complains of Falstaff 's having killed his deer; there are 'luces' in the Shallow coat-of arms as in that of the Lucy family, which luces in the Welsh parson's pronunciation become louses' - a play on words occurring also in the alleged stanza of Shakespeare's offensive ballad.

Book Description
Ireland is increasingly recognized as a crucial element in early modern British literary and political history. Christopher Highley's book explores the most serious crisis the Elizabethan regime faced: its attempts to subdue and colonize the native Irish. Through a range of literary representations from Shakespeare and Spenser, and contemporaries like John Hooker, John Derricke, George Peele and Thomas Churchyard he shows how these writers produced a complex discourse about Ireland that cannot be reduced to a simple ethnic opposition. This book challenges traditional views about the impact of Spenser's experience in Ireland on his cultural identity, while also arguing that the interaction between English and Ireland is a powerful and provocative subtext in the work of Shakespeare and his fellow dramatists. Highley argues that the confrontation between an English imperial presence and a Gaelic 'other' was a profound factor in the definition of an English poetic self.
