DesaiįAIRLEIGH DICKINSON UNIVERSITY PRESS Madison Shakespeare the Man New Decipherings Edited by R. With the exception of the editor’s own piece on Hamlet, Shakespeare the Man: New Decipherings presents previously unpublished essays, inviting the reader to embark upon an intellectual adventure into the fascinating terrain of Shakespeare's mind and art. ![]() The authors of these essays, employing the tenets of critical theory and practice as well as intuitive and informed insight, endeavor to look behind the masks, thus challenging the reader to adjudicate among the possible, the probable, the likely, and the unlikely. Instead of restricting the search for bits and pieces of evidence from his works that seem to match what he may have experienced, these essays focus on the contemporary milieu-political developments, social and theater history, and cultural and religious pressures-as well as the domestic conditions within Shakespeare's family that shaped his personality and are featured in his works. Although it’s not named here, the text for Troilus and Cressida appears in the First Folio after Henry VIII and before Coriolanus.While over the past four hundred years numerous opinions have been voiced as to Shakespeare's identity, these eleven essays widen the scope of the investigation by regarding Shakespeare, his world, and his works in their interaction with one another. That’s because the publishers obtained the rights to Troilus and Cressida very late in the process-too late to include it on this page, which was already printed by then. You may notice there are only 35 plays listed, even though there are 36 plays in the First Folio. ![]() The Tempest leads off the comedies, even though Shakespeare wrote it late in his career, while Coriolanus heads the tragedies. They also made sure to place a “new” play (one that wasn’t already available in print in a quarto) at the start of both the comedies and the tragedies. Most of the history plays that were previously printed were already named for kings, but not all of them. They named the history plays according to the kings who reigned during the events in the plays and put the plays in the order of the kings’ reigns. Heminge and Condell grouped Shakespeare’s plays in the First Folio into three categories for the first time: the comedies, the histories, and the tragedies.
