This is set beside a group of essays that deal with performance history, with screen productions, and with versions devised for the operatic stage, as well as with the extraordinary diversity of twentieth and twenty-first century re-workings of Shakespearean tragedy.
The thirteen essays of the book's final section seek to expand readers' awareness of Shakespeare's global reach, tracing histories of criticism and performance across Europe, the Americas, Australasia, the Middle East, Africa, India, and East Asia. Offering the richest and most diverse collection of approaches to Shakespearean tragedy currently available, the Handbook will be an indispensable resource for students both undergraduate and graduate levels, while the lively and provocative character of its essays make will it required reading for teachers of Shakespeare everywhere.
However, the procedure followed a different course from the usual one as the commissioner was also part of the Fascist political system. The first decade of the new century has certainly been a busy one for diversity in Shakespearean performance and interpretation, yielding, for example, global, virtual, digital, interactive, televisual, and cinematic Shakespeares. Ultimately, this collection sheds light, at least partially, on where critics think Shakespeare is now and where he and his works might be going in the near future and long-term.
One conclusion is certain: however far we progress into the new century, Shakespeare will be there. Julius Caesar. Antony and Cleopatra.
Second Citizen Give him a statue with his ancestors. Third Citizen Let him be Caesar. Brutus speaks. First Citizen Peace, ho! I do entreat you, not a man depart, Save I alone, till Antony have spoke. Exit First Citizen Stay, ho! Noble Antony, go up. Goes into the pulpit Fourth Citizen What does he say of Brutus? Fourth Citizen Twere best he speak no harm of Brutus here. First Citizen This Caesar was a tyrant.
Second Citizen Peace! The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones; So let it be with Caesar.
He was my friend, faithful and just to me: But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?
When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. You all did see that on the Lupercal I thrice presented him a kingly crown, Which he did thrice refuse: was this ambition? Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke, But here I am to speak what I do know. You all did love him once, not without cause: What cause withholds you then, to mourn for him? O judgment! Bear with me; My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, And I must pause till it come back to me. First Citizen Methinks there is much reason in his sayings. Second Citizen If thou consider rightly of the matter, Caesar has had great wrong.
Third Citizen Has he, masters? I fear there will a worse come in his place. First Citizen If it be found so, some will dear abide it. Second Citizen Poor soul! Fourth Citizen Now mark him, he begins again to speak. And none so poor to do him reverence. O masters, if I were disposed to stir Your hearts and minds to mutiny and rage, I should do Brutus wrong, and Cassius wrong, Who, you all know, are honourable men: I will not do them wrong; I rather choose To wrong the dead, to wrong myself and you, Than I will wrong such honourable men.
All The will, the will! You are not wood, you are not stones, but men; And, being men, bearing the will of Caesar, It will inflame you, it will make you mad: Tis good you know not that you are his heirs; For, if you should, O, what would come of it! Fourth Citizen They were traitors: honourable men! All The will! Second Citizen They were villains, murderers: the will!
Then make a ring about the corpse of Caesar, And let me show you him that made the will. Shall I descend? Several Citizens Come down. Second Citizen Descend.
Third Citizen You shall have leave. First Citizen Stand from the hearse, stand from the body. Second Citizen Room for Antony, most noble Antony. Several Citizens Stand back; room; bear back. O, what a fall was there, my countrymen! O, now you weep; and, I perceive, you feel The dint of pity: these are gracious drops. First Citizen O piteous spectacle! Second Citizen O noble Caesar! Third Citizen O woful day! Fourth Citizen O traitors, villains!
First Citizen O most bloody sight! Second Citizen We will be revenged. All Revenge! Let not a traitor live! First Citizen Peace there! They that have done this deed are honourable: What private griefs they have, alas, I know not, That made them do it: they are wise and honourable, And will, no doubt, with reasons answer you. Third Citizen Away, then!
All Peace, ho! Hear Antony. Most noble Antony! Alas, you know not: I must tell you then: You have forgot the will I told you of. All Most true. The will! To every Roman citizen he gives, To every several man, seventy-five drachmas.
Second Citizen Most noble Caesar! Third Citizen O royal Caesar! ANTONY Moreover, he hath left you all his walks, His private arbours and new-planted orchards, On this side Tiber; he hath left them you, And to your heirs for ever, common pleasures, To walk abroad, and recreate yourselves. Here was a Caesar!
First Citizen Never, never. Come, away, away! Take up the body. Second Citizen Go fetch fire. Third Citizen Pluck down benches. Fourth Citizen Pluck down forms, windows, any thing. Mischief, thou art afoot, Take thou what course thou wilt! Enter a Servant How now, fellow! Servant Sir, Octavius is already come to Rome. Fortune is merry, And in this mood will give us any thing.
Bring me to Octavius. Enter Citizens First Citizen What is your name? Second Citizen Whither are you going? Third Citizen Where do you dwell? Fourth Citizen Are you a married man or a bachelor? Second Citizen Answer every man directly. First Citizen Ay, and briefly. Fourth Citizen Ay, and wisely. Third Citizen Ay, and truly, you were best. Whither am I going? Where do I dwell? Am I a married man or a bachelor? Then, to answer every man directly and briefly, wisely and truly: wisely I say, I am a bachelor.
Proceed; directly. First Citizen As a friend or an enemy? Second Citizen That matter is answered directly. Fourth Citizen For your dwelling,—briefly. Third Citizen Your name, sir, truly. Fourth Citizen Tear him for his bad verses, tear him for his bad verses. Third Citizen Tear him, tear him! Come, brands ho!
ANTONY Octavius, I have seen more days than you: And though we lay these honours on this man, To ease ourselves of divers slanderous loads, He shall but bear them as the ass bears gold, To groan and sweat under the business, Either led or driven, as we point the way; And having brought our treasure where we will, Then take we down his load, and turn him off, Like to the empty ass, to shake his ears, And graze in commons. Your master, Pindarus, In his own change, or by ill officers, Hath given me some worthy cause to wish Things done, undone: but, if he be at hand, I shall be satisfied.
A word, Lucilius; How he received you, let me be resolved. There are no tricks in plain and simple faith; But hollow men, like horses hot at hand, Make gallant show and promise of their mettle; But when they should endure the bloody spur, They fall their crests, and, like deceitful jades, Sink in the trial. Comes his army on? Low march within March gently on to meet him. Speak the word along. First Soldier Stand!
Second Soldier Stand! Third Soldier Stand! And, if not so, how should I wrong a brother? Speak your griefs softly: I do know you well. Before the eyes of both our armies here, Which should perceive nothing but love from us, Let us not wrangle: bid them move away; Then in my tent, Cassius, enlarge your griefs, And I will give you audience.
Let Lucius and Titinius guard our door. You know that you are Brutus that speak this, Or, by the gods, this speech were else your last. What, shall one of us That struck the foremost man of all this world But for supporting robbers, shall we now Contaminate our fingers with base bribes, And sell the mighty space of our large honours For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog, and bay the moon, Than such a Roman. Must I give way and room to your rash choler? Shall I be frighted when a madman stares? Must I budge? Must I observe you?
