Audiobook: The Shakespeare Secret (Interred with Their Bones) -Mystery/Thriller

Jennifer Lee Carrell - The Shakespeare Secret
aka Interred with Their Bones
2007 - Unabridged - mp3 - 128 kbps

Jennifer Lee Carrell, an English literature scholar, has taken a Da Vinci Code approach to Shakespeare: what if Shakespeare wrote another, undiscovered play, whose plot contained political secrets that are key parts of British history? The resulting novel, Interred with Their Bones, is a fast-paced but literate thriller featuring a Shakespeare scholar heroine who races across the globe following clues and trying to find the secret manuscript she suspects exists.

Audiobook: The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare

The Cat Who Knew Shakespeare

Written by Lilian Jackson Braun
Narrated by George Guidall

Summary (From the publisher):
There's something rotten in the small town of Pickax--at least to the sensitive noses of the newspaperman Jim Qwilleran and his Siamese cats, Koko and Yum Yum. An accident has claimed the life of the local paper's eccentric publisher, but to Qwilleran and his feline friends it smells like murder. They soon sniff out a shocking secret, but Koko's snooping into an unusual edition of Shakespeare may prove CATastrophic... because somewhere in Pickax a lady loves not wisely but too well, a widow is scandalously merry, and a stranger has a lean and hungry look. The stage is set for Qwilleran, Koko, Yum Yum, and the second act of murder most meow....

Music: John Dowland - The Complete Solo Lute Music

John Dowland - The Complete Solo Lute Music

256kbps
John Dowland (1563 - 1626)

Right, pay attention at the back there!

Pretty much an exact contemporary of Shakespeare, this guy was one of the most famous composers in late and post-Elizabethan England.

Dowland to thee is dear, whose heavenly touch
Upon the lute doth ravish human sense;
-William Shakespeare - The Passionate Pilgrim. Sonnet 8


In 1580 he went to Paris, presumably apprenticed to a professional lutenist, under the patronage of the English ambassador. Returning to England in 1586, he married and in 1588 was admitted to his degree of Bachelor of Music from Christ Church, Oxford.

After being rejected for a court post as a lutenist (possibly because of his Catholicism) in 1594, he goes off to the various royal courts that existed in Europe at that time to seek his fortune.

Although he must have been well known as early as 1597 (as his first book was subsequently republished 4 times), he continued to be denied a post at the English court until 1612.

So, what do we have here?

This is 92 tracks of solo lute music written, for the most part, to be danced to. A lot of this stuff is titled "Mr So and So's Pavane" (a slow processional dance) or "Mrs Blah Blah's Galliard" (a more boisterous affair and a favourite of Elizabeth I) . You'll also see "Almain" and "Jig" used pretty liberally in the titles.

By and large (to my ears anyway), you're gonna be downloading slowed-down flamenco, with the famous, must-haves being "Lachrimae", "Semper Dowland Semper Dolens" and "Frog Galliard".

This really is "music you should hear before you die".

Film: Gilligan's Island: The Producer (Hamlet, 1966)


Gilligan's Island
Season 3, Episode 4: The Producer (1966)

IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0588103/
TV.com: http://www.tv.com/gilligans-island/the-producer/episode/10182/summary.html

The Castaways perform a musical version of Hamlet.
In the Hamlet musical from the Gilligan's Island episode, "The Producer", Gilligan, as Hamlet, sings a variation of the "To Be or Not To Be" soliloquy to the tune of Habanera from Bizet's Carmen!
This is very entertaining and highly recommended!

Audio Book: Hark! by Ed McBain

Ed McBain 87th Precinct 54. Hark! (2004)
-A modern detective novel with a Shakespearean theme.

The 87th Precinct gets a visit from one of the city's most accomplished criminals -- a thief known as the Deaf Man. Because he might be deaf. Or he might not. So little is known about the man who is harassing Detective Steve Carella with puzzling messages that it is hard to tell. But as soon as a pattern emerges, the detectives of the 87th are forced to hit the books and brush up on their Shakespeare -- because each new clue contains a line from one of his works. Unless they can crack the complicated riddles and beat the Deaf Man at his own cat-and-mouse game, someone is going to end up hurt, or something will be stolen -- or both. It's always so hard to tell with the Deaf Man.

The Oxford Companion To Shakespeare

Michael Dobson and Stanley Wells, The Oxford Companion To Shakespeare
Oxford University Press | ISBN 0198117353 | 2001 | PDF | 26.8 MB | 575 pages

From the conjectured identity of the Dark Lady of the Sonnets to misprints in the First Folio, from Shakespeare's favorite figures of speech to the staging of Othello in South Africa, The Oxford Companion to Shakespeare offers the most comprehensive coverage available on all aspects of Shakespeare's life and works.

* Illustrated with more than 100 photographs and boasting contributions from a team of internationally renowned scholars (including such noted Shakespeare authorities as Helen Vendler, Park Honan, and Jonathan Bate), the Companion has more than 3,000 entries that offer succinct, stimulating, and authoritative commentary on Shakespeare's life and times, his plays and poems, and their interpretation around the world over the last four centuries.

* All Shakespeare's plays--from As You Like It and All's Well that Ends Well to King Lear and Hamlet--are covered in major articles.

* There are concise descriptions of allusions in Shakespeare (Ajax, Agamemnon), well-known critics (Samuel Johnson, John Dryden), great Shakespearian actors (Richard Burbage, Lawrence Olivier, Kenneth Branagh), characters in the plays (Mercutio, Ophelia), figures of speech (metaphor, metonymy, oxymoron), and much more.

* Longer articles explore topics such as Shakespeare's birthplace, censorship, the Chamberlain's Men, film, and Shakespeare's reception in such countries as China, Italy, and the United States.

* Bringing its readers up to date not only with the latest in Shakespearian scholarship and controversy but with the plays' most recent incarnations on stage, film, and in international popular culture, this is the perfect companion to Shakespeare's works, covering everything from Aaron to Zeffirelli, and from Shakespeare in schools to Shakespeare in Love.

Music: Twelfth Night (1996) -Soundtrack


Here is Shaun Davey's soundtrack for Twelfth Night. I found this link at Vinnie Rattolle's Records, an excellent soundtrack blog (go visit him!), here is his description:
If music be the food of love, play on...

On the twelfth night of Christmas, my true love gave to me... a soundtrack that's practically impossible to find! A friend has been searching for the soundtrack for the 1996 version of William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night: Or What You Will," but the album received a limited pressing, it's long out of print and sells for astronomical prices. I didn't think I was gonna find it -- until I stumbled into a site where Lareinenoire quite graciously uploaded it for me. Far be it from me to sit on something that's so rare. So Chadrenne, merry Christmas, and Lareinenoire, thanks again!

The score is by Shaun Davey and star Ben Kingsley sings on more than a handful of tracks. I'm usually not a big fan of Shakespeare (with the exception of the demented "Theatre of Blood"... and "Strange Brew!"), but after hearing this, I think I need to see the movie!

eBook: Shakespeare's Brain



Shakespeare's Brain


Mary Thomas Crane
Princeton University Press | ISBN: 0691069921 | 2000-12-15 | 288 pages | PDF | 1 Mb
Here Mary Thomas Crane considers the brain as a site where body and culture meet to form the subject and its expression in language. Taking Shakespeare as her case study, she boldly demonstrates the explanatory power of cognitive theory--a theory which argues that language is produced by a reciprocal interaction of body and environment, brain and culture, and which refocuses attention on the role of the author in the making of meaning. Crane reveals in Shakespeare's texts a web of structures and categories through which meaning is created. The approach yields fresh insights into a wide range of his plays, including The Comedy of Errors, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Hamlet, Measure for Measure, and The Tempest.

Crane's cognitive reading traces the complex interactions of cultural and cognitive determinants of meaning as they play themselves out in Shakespeare's texts. She shows how each play centers on a word or words conveying multiple meanings (such as "act," "pinch," "pregnant," "villain and clown"), and how each cluster has been shaped by early modern ideological formations. The book also chronicles the playwright's developing response to the material conditions of subject formation in early modern England. Crane reveals that Shakespeare in his comedies first explored the social spaces within which the subject is formed, such as the home, class hierarchy, and romantic courtship. His later plays reveal a greater preoccupation with how the self is formed within the body, as the embodied mind seeks to make sense of and negotiate its physical and social environment.

eBook: Cambridge Introduction to Shakespeare's Comedies


Cambridge Introduction to Shakespeare's Comedies
Author: Penny Gay
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
File size: 713 KB
File type: pdf

Why did theatre audiences laugh in Shakespeare's day? Why do they still laugh now? What did Shakespeare do with the conventions of comedy that he inherited, so that his plays continue to amuse and move audiences? What do his comedies have to say about love, sex, gender, power, family, community, and class? What place have pain, cruelty, and even death in a comedy? Why all those puns? In a survey that travels from Shakespeare's earliest experiments in farce and courtly love-stories to the great romantic comedies of his middle years and the mould-breaking experiments of his last decade's work, this book addresses these vital questions. Organised thematically, and covering all Shakespeare's comedies from the beginning to the end of his career, it provides readers with a map of the playwright's comic styles, showing how he built on comedic conventions as he further enriched the possibilities of the genre.
