Parle plus bas, si c’est d’amour est un dictionnaire de citations tirées des pièces et des poèmes de Shakespeare. D’ «Ambition» à «Vieillesse», voici les pensées d’un des plus grands génies de la littérature mondiale sur tous les sujets de la vie humaine. Valables en 1616, ces pensées n’ont rien perdu de leur force en 2016. Cette anthologie thématique donne ainsi un aperçu du génie universel de Shakespeare. Aucune dimension de l’existence n’échappe à son interrogation : l’amour, la mort, le pouvoir, la justice. On y trouvera jusqu’à des conseils pratiques : «Des repas troublés font de mauvaises digestions» (Comédie des erreurs) ! Les très grandes sentences du dramaturge seront là («Etre ou ne pas être, telle est la question», Hamlet), mais également des pensées plus inattendues («Mes jours-salade sont finis», Antoine et Cléopâtre), des insultes truculentes («Boyau à cervelle de boue ! », Henry IV) et des maximes à la sagesse profonde et modeste («Les hommes sont des hommes, les meilleurs oublient parfois», Othello). On y retrouva également ses personnages les plus connus, Hamlet, Othello, Lady Macbeth, et d’autres, injustement méconnus : qui se souvient de Rosaline, le premier amour de Roméo ? Ces personnages, «faits de l’étoffe dont les rêves sont faits « (La Tempête) nous livrent une vision du monde ample, généreuse, parfois violente, toujours enthousiasmante, qui témoigne de la profondeur de vue du grand Shakespeare. N’est-ce pas lui qui affirme par la bouche du devin d’Antoine et Cléopâtre : «Dans le livre infini des secrets de la nature, je sais lire un peu?». L’anthologie a été réalisée par Julian Michelet, né en 1990, normalien et agrégé de Lettres classiques.

Parle tout bas si c'est d'amour - Dictionnaire de citations

The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare's Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
The Tempest is the most lyrical, profound and fascinating of Shakespeare's late comedies. Prospero, long exiled from Italy with his daughter Miranda, seeks to use his magical powers to defeat his former enemies. Eventually, having proved merciful, he divests himself of that magic, his 'art', and prepares to return to the mainland. The Tempest has often been regarded as Shakespeare's 'farewell to the stage' before his retirement.
In the past, critics emphasised the romantically beautiful features of The Tempest, seeing it as an imaginative fantasia. In recent decades, however, The Tempest has also been treated as a potently political drama which offers controversial insights into colonialism and racism. Frequently staged and diversely filmed, the play has influenced numerous poets and novelists.

Hamlet: the oxford shakespeare (oxford world's classics)

After thwarting a rebellion that threatened his throne, King Henry IV's attention is now more directly focused on his son and heir, Prince Hal. Hal is still distanced from the court, spending his time in frivolous ways, while his former companion, Falstaff, finds nothing but trouble in the London underworld. But as Hal witnesses his father's declining health, he must begin to take his responsibility to the throne more seriously. Henry IV, Part II is one of four connected plays about successive British monarchs, including Richard II, Henry IV, Part I and Henry V. Known as "The Bard of Avon, " William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known. Enormously popular during his life, Shakespeare's works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death, as has his influence on theatre and literature. Shakespeare's innovative use of character, language, and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists, and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech.

Henry Iv, Part Ii - A History

The Sonnets explore many of Shakespeare's most common themes: jealousy, betrayal, melancholy. They ache with unfulfilled longing, and, for many, they are the most complete and moving meditations on love ever written. Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features an afterword by Peter Harness. The Sonnets of William Shakespeare, a cycle of 154 linked poems first published in 1609, are reproduced in full in this Macmillan Collector's Library edition. Filled with ideas about love, beauty and mortality, the sonnets are written in the same beautiful and innovative language that we have come to know from Shakespeare's plays. The first 126 sonnets are addressed to a young man known as the 'Fair Youth', while others are directed at a 'Rival Poet', and a 'Dark Lady'.

The Sonnets

Othello

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a world of violence and generational conflict in which two young people fall in love and die because of that love. The story is rather extraordinary in that the normal problems faced by young lovers are here so very large. It is not simply that the families of Romeo and Juliet disapprove of the lover's affection for each other; rather, the Montagues and the Capulets are on opposite sides in a blood feud and are trying to kill each other on the streets of Verona. Every time a member of one of the two families dies in the fight, his relatives demand the blood of his killer. Because of the feud, if Romeo is discovered with Juliet by her family, he will be killed. Once Romeo is banished, the only way that Juliet can avoid being married to someone else is to take a potion that apparently kills her, so that she is burried with the bodies of her slain relatives. In this violent, death-filled world, the movement of the story from love at first sight to the union of the lovers in death seems almost inevitable.What is so striking about this play is that despite its extraordinary setting (one perhaps reflecting Elizabethan attitudes about hot-blooded Italians), it has become the quintessential story of young love. Because most young lovers feel that they have to overcome giant obstacles in order to be together, because they feel that they would rather die than be kept apart, and especially because the language Shakespeare gives his young lovers is so exquisite, allowing them to say to each other just what we would all say to a lover if we only knew how, it is easy to respond to this play as if it were about all young lovers rather than about a particular couple in a very unusual world. (When the play was rewritten in the eighteen century as The History and Fall of Caius Marius, the violent setting became that of a particularly discordant period in classical Rome; when Leonard Berstein rewrote the play as West Side Story, he chose the violent world of New York street gangs.)
