SHAKESPEARE’S CANON
William Shakespeare was an English poet, playwright and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He wrote many plays and some of his work is still contested. William Shakespeare created the majority of his popular plays and stories in the late 16th century.
For many years Shakespeare enjoyed writing comedies and historical plays until he found his true love: writing tragedies and dark dramas. The term “literary canon” refers to a group of literary works that are considered as important and relevant of a particular time period or place. The complete works of Shakespeare are known as Shakespeare’s Canon. We define the Shakespearean canon as a corpus of original works by the British genius and adequate interpretations of his texts in theater, criticism, cinema, art, cultures of different countries and peoples.
Shakespeare’s Canon is generally defined by some major plays. The Shakespearean Canon contains:
Two mythological narrative poems: “Venus and Adonis” written in 1593 and “The rape of Lucrece” written in 1594
An allegorical poem: “The phoenix and the turtle” written in 1601
A collection of sonnets:
The plays and poems written by William Shakespeare, sometimes were collectively described as the “Shakespeare Canon”. The “Shakespeare Canon” is probably the most stimulating and exciting work in the entire English literature and language.
Before publishing the First Folio in the year 1623, nineteen out of the thirty-seven plays that were included in the Shakespearean Canon had already appeared in quarto format. Except the tragedy “Othello”, which appeared in the year 1622, all of the quartos were published prior Shakespeare's retirement from the theatre industry in the year 1611.
It is unlikely that William Shakespeare was involved in a direct way with the printing of any of the plays he wrote, but it should be noted that at least two of his poems, “The Rape of Lucrece” and “Venus and Adonis” were almost most likely printed under his supervision.
