Bart van Es
"Scholar Bart van Es (born 7 June 1972) is an academician, tutor and lecturer at St Catherine's College, University of Oxford. He is the author of such specialist critical books as Spenser's Forms of History, A Critical Companion to Spenser Studies, and, most recently, an investigation of the 'critically acclaimed' playwright Shakespeare and his relationship with the players of the King's Men, the eminent Shakespeare in Company. (His main area of criticism is on the English Poet Edmund Spenser.) After years of interviews with wartime survivors, van Es published in 2018 the life of a single Jewish child in hiding in Nazi-occupied Holland, The Cut Out Girl: a story of War and Family, Lost and Found.
From The Two Gentlemen of Verona in the early 1590s to The Two Noble Kinsmen at the end of his career around 1614, Shakespeare wrote at least eighteen plays that can be called 'comedies': a far higher number than that for any other genre in which he wrote. So what is a Shakespearean comedy? We associate these plays with such themes as mistaken identities, happy marriages, and exuberant cross dressing, but how representative are these of the oeuvre as a whole? In this Very Short Introduction, Bart van Es explores the full range of the playwright's comic writing, from the neat classical plotting of early works like The Comedy of Errors to the corrupt world of the so-called problem plays, written in the middle years of Shakespeare's life. Examining Shakespeare's influences and sources, van Es compares his plays to those of his rivals, and looks at the history of the plays in performance, from the biographies of Shakespeare's original actors to the plays' endless reinvention in modern stage productions and in films. Identifying the key qualities that make Shakespearean comedy distinctive, van Es traces the changing nature of Shakespeare's comic writing over the course of a career that spanned nearly a quarter century of theatrical change.
