As the nation stands on the precipice of peace, nobility vying for power engage in affairs of the heart, while the shadow of the king's enduring mistress looms over all. Amidst this backdrop of ambition and desire, the Prince of Cleves and the Princess of Cleves navigate their arranged marriage. Despite her initial indifference, the Princess finds herself falling for her husband, yet the Chevalier de Guise also loves her. As the Duke of Nemours seeks the hand of an English queen, a web of love, duty, and longing entangles these nobles. The author delves into the nature of love, both illicit and virtuous, and the sacrifices one makes in the name of honor and passion.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book dives into morality in Shakespeare's most renowned and cherished play, Henry V. An examination of famous scenes and speeches throughout the play highlight humanity's ever present contrast: how people's behavior can swing between lofty virtue and heinous vice. This leads to an exploration of the harsh realities of warfare: viciousness, barbarity, endless death, and the rampant disregard for human rights. Upon this backdrop of harsh realities, the author examines how Shakespeare cleverly uses the characters to illuminate the range of human emotion: one moment a person may be weeping and lamenting the loss of a child, and the next moment clamoring for revenge and more bloodshed. This book takes the reader on a journey through Henry V, providing a deep understanding of morality's complexities and man's place in a world of endless strife.

The frontispiece (an engraved portrait of Shakespeare) is missing. Scattered foxing, some toning and a few moderate stains to the margins of several leaves. First edition. The author, Elizabeth Griffith [1727-1793] was born in Wales, but must be considered Irish. Her father was a Dublin stage actor and theatre manager Thomas Griffith, who had become the official "Master of the Revels in Ireland" at the time of his daughter's birth. Elizabeth was raised in Dublin where, according to the writer of her DNB entry "[her parents] brought up Elizabeth to be a sociable child, cheerful and at ease among the theatrical community. " Her father also introduced her to literature, in French as well as English. His death in 1744 caused considerable financial hardship for his family. Elizabeth made her Dublin acting debut 13 October 1749 -- [she was "Juliet" alongside a considerably older "Romeo" played by Thomas Sheridan at the Smock Alley Theatre]. By that time, she had already met and fallen in love with a cousin, Richard Griffith. Their five-year courtship provided the material for a six-volume work: 'A Series of Genuine Letters Between Henry and Frances, published between 1757 and 1770. These letters touched on many literary and philosophical ideas and books. The multi-volume work has to be considered a success, earning attention, praise, recognition, but not much money. And money would become an issue for the Griffiths. Richard borrowed money to start a linen factory; alas, this went bankrupt in 1756. Elizabeth, between her stage appearances and writing, was the main source of her family's support. She also published translations from the French and undertook the writing of plays. Her third play, 'The Double Mistake' was sufficiently successtul at London's Covent Garden to encourage her to seek help from the great David Garrick in staging her next play. Indeed, he did so, producing her most successful comedy, 'The School for Rakes, ' in 1769. In that same year, Garrick staged the Shakespeare Jubilee in Stratford-upon-Avon -- [so-called, even though it was really five years late for an anniversary celebration]. This Stratford Jubliee was a major focal point in the emerging movement that helped cement Shakespeare as England's national poet; this 1775 volume by Elizabeth Griffith is considered a significant part of that movement. In his speech made on the second day of the Jubilee in Stratford Garrick recognized the Shakespeare Ladies Club as those who "restor'd Shakespeare to the Stage, " protecting his fame and erecting "a Monument to his and your own honour in Westminster Abbey. " While the well-born ladies praised by Garrick as the "Shakespeare Ladies Club" were active years before either he or Mrs. Griffith were working on the stage, Griffith is certainly conscious of the role women played in calling for Shakespeare to be ever-present on the London stage as a National treasure. Elizabeth Griffith dedicated this 1775 study of hers on Shakespeare to Garrick -- who is more associated with Shakespeare than almost any other actor or producer of the eighteenth century. Her own work is still being assessed and studied in feminist circles. One contemporary assessment of a sort stands out in her life working for the stage. Her least successful play was 'A wife in the Right, ' -- first performed on 9 March 1772. Following the opening performance, a second showing for the next night was announced. The crowd responded with "shouts for and against [.] apples and half-pence were thrown, a chandelier broken" and the pe.…
