Park Honan draws on this new information to dramatically alter our perceptions of the actor, poet & playwright. Here is virtually all that can be factually known or reasonably speculated about Shakespeare's life. Readers will find a vivid picture of what Shakespeare's childhood might have been like in the small English town of Stratford, which had but a dozen streets in 1560. We meet his father, John Shakespeare, the glove-maker of Henley Street, who rose to the office of High Bailiff & Justice of the Peace before he was beset by financial difficulties. There is a fascinating portrait of London & of the life of an Elizabethan actor (a neophyte Shakespeare may have had to learn as many as 100 small parts per season). Honan casts new light on the young poet's relationships--his early courtship of Anne Hathaway, their marriage, his attitudes to women such as Jennet Davenant, Marie Mountjoy, & his own daughters--illuminating Shakespeare's needs, habits, passions & concerns. The author shows in fresh detail that Shakespeare was well acquainted w/ violent crime & murder in daily life. And he also examines the world of the playing companies--the power of patronage, theatrical conditions & personal rivalries--to reveal the relationship between the man & the writing. Park Honan's Shakespeare casts new light on a complex & FASCINATING life, ILLUMINATING Shakespeare's EXTRAORDINARY development into the greatest dramatist of his or any age. * HIGH PRAISE: "Park Honan's book is written in a lively, engaging, & accessible style. I think this will be regarded as the best available biography of Shakespeare." -Stanley Wells * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Park Honan is Emeritus Professor at the School of English, University of Leeds. He has written biographies of Jane Austen, Matthew Arnold & Robert Browning. He lives in the United Kingdom. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to international destinations at our posted rates.

Condition: New. 2003 N & M Press reprint of 1931 original Edition . SB. 321pp , 26 b&w illustrations. This book is for the serious student of German arms and their use. It is a complete training manual from 1931 (H.Dv 240) and covers all arms training in the use of the rifle (the Kar. 98k), the machine gun (the MG 08/15 and the MG 13) together with grenade, ammunition and sniping training. As all German training was based on field operations, every part of the book is involved in teaching the use of the weapons in the field, so there are no parade ground drills here. The book also includes pistol training.What is of equal importance to the text is the illustrative material provided. This includes a series of pictorial plates showing methods of firing the rifle and the machine gun in battle, and the MG 08/15 plates are of particular importance.The German Army at this time was still free of Hitler and his Nazis, but engaging in the last war - the war in which it introduced infiltration tactics and the machine gun group as an attacking force. The emphasis throughout the book is the importance of the machine gun, supported by well-trained riflemen, and the spirit of aggression that had to be part of every soldierâs life in the next war. Although the weapons were to change in the mid-1930s, the ethos of this training continued, to produce the German Army that swept through Poland and then the West in 1939 and 1940.(GERMAN LANGUAGE).
