| ARTICLES RELATED TO William Shakespeare |  |  |  | William Shakespeare: Encyclopedia II - Shakespeare's plays - Stylistic groupings of the playsWhile there is some dispute about the exact Chronology of Shakespeare plays, the plays tend to fall into three main stylistic groupings.
The first major grouping of his plays begins with his histories and comedies of the 1590s. Shakespeare's earliest plays tended to be adaptations of other playwright's works and employed blank verse and little variance in rhythm. However, after the plague forced Shakespeare and his company of actors to leave London for periods between 1592 to 1594, Shakespeare began to use rhymed couplets in his plays ...

|  |  |  | William Shakespeare: Encyclopedia II - Shakespeare's plays - The playsShakespeare's plays have the reputation of being among greatest in the English language and in Western literature and cover the genres of tragedy, history, and comedy.
Some of Shakespeare's plays first appeared in print as a series of quartos, but most remained unpublished until 1623 when the posthumous First Folio was published. The traditional division of his plays into tragedies, comedies, and histories follows the logic of the First Folio. However, modern criticism has labelled some of these plays "problem plays" as they elude easy categorization, or perhaps purposefully break generic conventions, and has intro ...

|  |  |  | William Shakespeare: Encyclopedia II - William Shakespeare Hays - BiographyHays was born in Louisville, Kentucky, a town where he would spend most of his life. He published his first poetry in 1856 and 1857 through the paper of his Georgetown, Kentucky, school. Hays eventually received the nickname "Shakespeare" for his writings, an appellation he made a formal part of his name.
Hays finished school and returned to Louisville in 1857. He found employment at D. P. Fauld's music store, where he continued to write music and poetry. He published many of his pieces under pen names, including Syah ("Hays" spelled backward). Thr ...

|  |  |  | William Shakespeare: Encyclopedia II - Bard - EtymologyThe word is a loanword from Proto-Celtic *bardos, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gwerh2: "to raise the voice; praise". The word entered the West Germanic languages twice. The first recorded example is in 1449 from the Scottish Gaelic language into the Scots Language, denoting an itinerant musician, usually with a contemptuous connotation. A Scots ordnance of ca. 1500 orders that "All vagabundis, fulis, bardis, scudlaris, and siclike idill pepill, sall be brint on the cheek". The word subsequently entered the English language ...

| |  |  |  | William Shakespeare: Encyclopedia II - Gentleman - William HarrisonWilliam Harrison, writing a century earlier, says "gentlemen be those whom their race and blood, or at the least their virtues, do make noble and known". A gentleman was in his time usually expected to have a coat of arms, it being accepted that only a gentleman could have a coat of arms; and Harrison gives the following account of how gentlemen were made in Shakespeare's day:
Gentlemen whose ancestors are not known to come in with William duke of Normandy (for of the Saxon races yet remaining we now make none accompt, much less ...

|  |  |  | William Shakespeare: Encyclopedia II - Gentleman - Superiority of the fighting manThe fundamental idea of "gentry", symbolised in this grant of coat-armour, had come to be that of the essential superiority of the fighting man; and, as Selden points out (page 707), the fiction was usually maintained in the granting of arms "to an ennobled person though of the long Robe wherein he hath little use of them as they mean a shield".
At the last the wearing of a sword on all occasions was the outward and visible sign of a "gentleman"; ...

|  |  |  | William Shakespeare: Encyclopedia II - Gentleman - A line between classesA frontier line between classes so indefinite could not be maintained, especially as in England there was never a "nobiliary prefix" to stamp a person as a gentleman by his surname, as in France or Germany. The process was hastened, moreover, by the corruption of the Heralds' College and by the ease with which coats of arms could be assumed without a shadow of claim; which tended to bring the science of armory into contempt.
The prefix "de" attached to some English names is in no sense "nobiliary". In Latin documents de was the ...

|  |  |  | William Shakespeare: Encyclopedia II - Gentleman - Modern usageThe word "gentleman" as an index of rank had already become of doubtful value before the great political and social changes of the 19th century gave to it a wider and essentially higher significance. The change is well illustrated in the definitions given in the successive editions of the Encyclopædia Britannica. In the 5th edition (1Sf 5) "a gentleman is one, who without any title, bears a coat of arms, or whose ancestors have been freemen". In the 7th edition (1845) it still implies a definite social status: "All above the rank of ...

|  |  |  | William Shakespeare: Encyclopedia II - Gentleman - GentryThe fundamental social cleavage in the middle ages was between the nobiles, i.e. the tenants in chivalry, whether earls, barons, knights, esquires or franklins, and the ignobiles, i.e. the villeins, citizens and burgesses; and between the most powerful noble and the humblest franklin there was, until the 15th century, no "separate class of gentlemen". Even so late as 1400 the word "gentleman" still only had the sense of generosus, and could not be used as a personal description denoting rank or quality, or as the title o ...

Shakespearean authorship - Stratfordians and anti-Stratfordians.
Those who question whether William Shakespeare of Stratford-upon-Avon was the author of Shakespeare's plays call themselves anti-Stratfordians. They call those who have no such doubts Stratfordians. "Stratfordians" themselves view the question of authorship as settled, and thus do not have a name for themselves.

But not only was Jonson not attempting to write like Shakespeare, he was openly critical of him. Jonson hated the popular style of drama and wished to reform it. He modelled himself on classical authors and his characters were types like those of Theophrastus, or were inte ...
