Hamlet, by William Shakespeare. Part III.

Hamlet is commonly regarded as one of the greatest plays ever written. Drawing on Danish chronicles and the Elizabethan vogue for revenge tragedy, Shakespeare created a play that is at once a philosophic treatise, a family drama, and a supernatural thriller. In the wake of his father's death, Prince Hamlet finds that his Uncle Claudius has swiftly taken the throne and married his mother, Queen Gertrude. The ghost of the dead king then appears and charges Claudius with 'murder most foul.' Hamlet is called to revenge his father's death: but will he be able to act before it is too late?Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Poetry of Thomas Moore, by Thomas Moore. Part V.

The Dubliner, Thomas Moore, born in 1779 was a poet, composer, musician, and writer. He is most famous for the 10 volume work "Irish Melodies" published between 1807 and 1834 with Sir John Stevenson, which consists of 130 of his poems set to music, much of it based on old Irish airs. "The Last Rose of Summer" and "The Minstrel Boy" are two of the most well known. Many of these "Melodies" are included in this collection. He is perhaps most infamous for having burned, at the request of the Byron family, the manuscript of Byron's memoirs which Bryon had left to him for publication after his death. During his lifetime, his reputation as a poet placed him alongside Byron and Scott and Shelly. His narrative poem Lalla Rookh for example was possibly the most translated poem of the time and earned him £3000, what was till then the highest price paid by an English publisher for a poem. This collection contains a version of the poem but without the linking or "framing" prose sections. A lovely edition of the full poem can be found here https://archive.org/details/lallrookhanorien00mooruoft with illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. Moore was an Irish Nationalist and turned down the post of "Irish Poet Laureate" as he felt it would require him to tone down his outspoken Irish national politics. Despite this, he counted the Regent - later King George IV as one of his patrons. Moore died on February 25, 1852 and though much of his work is now neglected, his enduring legacy is that his "Melodies" which were translated into practically every European language popularized Irish Music throughout the world.Part IIntroduction   Irish Melodies - Part 1 Irish Melodies - Part 2 Irish Melodies - Part 3 Part IIIrish Melodies - Part 4 National Airs  Sacred Songs   Early Poems, Ballads and Songs - Part 1 Early Poems, Ballads and Songs - Part 2 Early Poems, Ballads and Songs - Part 3 Part IIIPoems Relating to America    Lalla Rookh: The Veiled Prophet of Khorassan   Lalla Rookh: Paradise and the Peri    Lalla Rookh: The Fire-Worshipers     Part IVLalla Rookh: The Light of the Harem   The Loves of the Angels Satirical And Humorous Poems - Part 1  Satirical And Humorous Poems - Part 2: The Fudge Family in Paris     Satirical And Humorous Poems - Part 3: Fables for the Holy Alliance   Satirical And Humorous Poems - Part 4  Part VSatirical And Humorous Poems - Part 5  Miscellaneous Poems   Odes of Anacreon     Epigram - Around the Tomb, O Bard Divine  Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
