Mary Lamb

Charles and Mary Lamb, two English siblings, published the children's book Tales from Shakespeare in 1807. The comedies were told by Mary Lamb and the tragedies by Charles. All of the Roman plays were excluded, and the historical stories they chose to recount were altered. It's claimed that dialogue has been used far too frequently for young readers who aren't used to reading or writing in a theatrical style. However, this flaw, if it exists, was brought about by a sincere desire to utilize as many of Shakespeare's original words as possible. Too often, the need of converting many of his brilliant phrases into less expressive ones undermines the beauty of his language. The topics of the majority of these tales made it quite difficult to make them easy to read for very young children. Giving the history of men and women in ways that a very young mind could understand was not an easy task. The courteous aid of young gentlemen is needed to explain to their sisters those sections of these Tales that are most difficult for them to grasp, as opposed to suggesting them for the reading of young gentlemen who can read them so much better in the originals.

सन 1807 में विलियम गुडविन द्वारा मैरी लैंब एवं उनके छोटे भाई चाल्र्स लैंब से शेक्सपियर के सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय नाटकों को सरल भाषा में रूपांतरित करने का अनुरोध किया गया था, ताकि बच्चे उन्हें आसानी से समझ सकें। युवा पाठकों, विशेषतया लड़कियों से, जो उस समय पुस्तकालयों में पहुँच पाने में असमर्थ थीं, के साथ शेक्सपियर का पहली बार परिचय कराने के उददेश्य से इन कहानियों को लिखा गया था। चाल्र्स एवं मैरी ने शेक्सपियर के सर्वाधिक लोकप्रिय बीस नाटकों का चयन किया और उन्हें लघुकथाओं के रूप में पुन लिखा। उनके लेखन का परिणाम 'शेक्सपियर की बाल कहानियाँ' के रूप में सामने आया है, जो अत्यंत रोचक है। विश्व के महानतम नाटककार की कृतियों में आनंद, आमोद-प्रमोद एवं अभिनय का अदभुत संगम है।

Rare edition with unique illustrations and elegant classic cream paper. Tales from Shakespeare is an English children's book written by Charles Lamb and his sister Mary Lamb in 1807. The book is designed to make the stories of Shakespeare's plays familiar to the young. However, as noted in the author's Preface, " Shakespeare's] words are used whenever it seemed possible to bring them in; and in whatever has been added to give them the regular form of a connected story, diligent care has been taken to select such words as might least interrupt the effect of the beautiful English tongue in which he wrote: therefore, words introduced into our language since his time have been as far as possible avoided." Mary Lamb was responsible for the comedies, while Charles wrote the tragedies; they wrote the preface between them. The book contains the following tales: The Tempest (Mary Lamb) A Midsummer Night's Dream (Mary Lamb) The Winter's Tale (Mary Lamb) Much Ado About Nothing (Mary Lamb) As You Like It (Mary Lamb) Two Gentlemen of Verona (Mary Lamb) The Merchant of Venice (Mary Lamb) Cymbeline (Mary Lamb) King Lear (Charles Lamb) Macbeth (Charles Lamb) All's Well That Ends Well (Mary Lamb) The Taming of the Shrew (Mary Lamb) The Comedy of Errors (Mary Lamb) Measure for Measure (Mary Lamb) Twelfth Night (Mary Lamb) Timon of Athens (Charles Lamb) Romeo and Juliet (Charles Lamb) Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (Charles Lamb) Othello (Charles Lamb) Pericles, Prince of Tyre (Mary Lamb) Tales from Shakespeare has been republished many times.

First published in 1807, "Tales from Shakespeare" is the classic retelling of Shakespeare's plays by brother and sister duo Charles and Mary Lamb. All told twenty of Shakespeare's plays are represented in this work. On what basis the two made their selection of tales is unknown, the English Histories are left unattempted, as well as the Roman Plays. Of the comedies only "Love's Labour's Lost" is omitted. As Alfred Ainger comments in his introduction "perhaps Miss Lamb felt how little would have remained of the original comedy when the poetical element in its language and the brilliant wit of its dialogue had been removed." What is represented of Shakespeare's plays is a magnificent retelling of some of his most popular works, ideal for introducing young readers to the brilliance of the Bard. As the two write in their preface "The following Tales are meant to be submitted to the young reader as an introduction to the study of Shakespeare," so "that the true Plays of Shakespeare may prove to them in older years--enrichers of the fancy, strengtheners of virtue, a withdrawing from all selfish and mercenary thoughts, a lesson of all sweet and honourable thoughts and actions." This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, includes an introduction by Alfred Ainger, and illustrations by Arthur Rackham.

Tales from Shakespeare by Charles & Mary Lamb. The following Tales are meant to be submitted to the young reader as an introduction to the study of Shakespeare, for which purpose his words are used whenever it seemed possible to bring them in; and in whatever has been added to give them the regular form of a connected story, diligent care has been taken to select such words as might least interrupt the effect of the beautiful English tongue in which he wrote: therefore, words introduced into our language since his time have been as far as possible avoided. In those tales which have been taken from the Tragedies, the young readers will perceive, when they come to see the source from which these stories are derived, that Shakespeare's own words, with little alteration, recur very frequently in the narrative as well as in the dialogue; but in those made from the Comedies the writers found themselves scarcely ever able to turn his words into the narrative form: therefore it is feared that, in them, dialogue has been made use of too frequently for young people not accustomed to the dramatic form of writing.
