The Duchess of Padua' is a play by Oscar Wilde. It is a five-act sensational tragedy set in Padua and written in a blank verse. It was composed for the female actor Mary Anderson in mid-1883 while in Paris. After she turned it down, it was deserted until its first-ever performance at the Broadway Theater in New York under the title 'Guido Ferranti' on 26 January 1891, where it ran for a long time. It has been seldom performed or studied. The Duchess of Padua elucidates the tale of a young fellow named Guido who was left in the charge of a man he calls his uncle as a child. Guido gets a notice to meet a man in Padua concerning something concerning his parentage. When he shows up in Padua he is persuaded by a man named, Moranzone, to forsake his only friend, Ascanio, to destine himself to vindicate his father's murder committed by Simone Gesso, the Duke of Padua. Over the play, Guido observes he has become hopelessly enamored with Beatrice, the title character, and trusts his affection for her, an adoration which she returns. At this point, Guido has had a shift in perspective and chooses not to kill the Duke of Padua, and on second thought expects to stab his father's knife at the Duke's bedside to tell the Duke that his life might have been taken if Guido had needed to kill him. While heading to the bed-chamber, Guido comes across Beatrice, who herself killed the Duke so she may accompany Guido. Guido is dismayed at the transgression committed for his sake and leaves Beatrice, assuring that their affection has been spoilt. She runs away and when she comes across certain gatekeepers, she asserts that Guido killed the Duke. Wilde himself depicted the play to Anderson: "I have no hesitation in saying that it is the masterpiece of all my literary work, the chef-d'oeuvre of my youth." Mary Anderson, in any case, was less energetic: "The play in its present form, I fear, would no more please the public of today than would 'Venus Preserved' or 'Lucretia Borgia'. Neither of us can afford failure now, and your Duchess in my hands would not succeed, as the part does not fit me. My admiration of your ability is as great as ever."William Winter reviewed the first production in The New York Tribune on 27 January 1891: "The new play is deftly developed in five short demonstrations and is written in a type of blank verse that is generally resonant, frequently persuasive, and at times freighted with whimsical figures of uncommon magnificence. It is less a tragedy but a melodrama...the radical deformity of the work is untrustworthiness. Nobody in it is natural." The Duchess of Padua is not regarded as one of Wilde's major works, and has rarely been performed or discussed. Leonée Ormond suggests several reasons for this: it is "quite unlike the plays for which Wilde is most famous, and biographers and critics have been inclined to say that it is unstageable, that it draws too heavily upon Shakespeare, Jacobean tragedy and Shelley's The Cenci ." Robert Shore remarked on the actual play while surveying an intriguing contemporary production:"......his tale of Renaissance realpolitik, revenge, and big love is about as far removed from the sophisticated social ironies of The Importance of Being Earnest as you can get. The dramatist affects the high Jacobean manner but the results are more cold pastiche than hot homage. Shakespearean archetypes stand behind the action - especially Lady Macbeth and Romeo and Juliet - but the smoothness of the verse means Wilde's characters never burn with the knotty tormented passion of their dramatic forebears. It's Victorian melodrama." However, Joseph Pearce is more responsive to Wilde's Shakespearian impact: "Unfortunately, the derivativeness of The Duchess of Padua has devalued it in the eyes of the critics...Yet if The Duchess of Padua is an imitation of Shakespeare, it is a very good imitation."

Numbers 1-25 are separate poems, all linked by the ideas of the sea and more or less specifically the British Empire. 'A Song of the English' is the longest poem, at around 20 pages.

The Life and Death of King Richard III is an authentic play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written in around 1592. It portrays the Machiavellian ascent to influence and the ensuing short rule of Richard III of England. The play is gathered among the accounts in the First Folio and is most frequently delegated as such. Incidentally, in any case, as in the quartoedition, it is called a misfortune. Shakespeare's most memorable quadruplicate (additionally containing Henry VI parts 1-3). The play starts with Richard (called "Gloucester" in the text) remaining on "a street", portraying the re-growth to the lofty position of his sibling, King Edward IV of England, the oldest child of the late Richard, Duke of York. It is 1471 to infer the year. Currently, it is the colder time of year of our discontent. This sun of York made this a splendid summer, and every mist that lour'd upon our home in the deep chest of the sea covered it. "Son of York" is a play on the identification of the "blazing sun," which Edward IV embraced, and "son of York" refers to, for example, the child of the Duke of York. Richard is a revolting hunchback who is "rudely stamped," "deformed, unfinished," and can't "strut before a wanton ambling nymph." He answers the misery of his condition with an outsider's: "I am determined to prove a villain/and hate the idle pleasures of these days." Richard plots to have his sibling Clarence, who remains before him in the line of progression, led to the Tower of London over a prediction he paid off a diviner to finagle the dubious King with; that "G of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be", which the ruler deciphers as alluding to George of Clarence (without acknowledging it really alludes to Gloucester). Richard currently plans to charm "the Lady Anne"-Anne Neville, widow of the Lancastrian Edward of Westminster, Prince of Wales. He says to the crowd: "I'll wed Warwick's most youthful girl." Did I kill her better half and her dad? Unlike Titus Andronicus, the play avoids realistic depictions of actual brutality; only Richard and Clarence are shown being executed in front of an audience, while the rest (the two sovereigns, Hastings and Brackenbury, Gray, Vaughan, Rivers, Anne, Buckingham, and King Edward) are executed off-stage. Notwithstanding the awful idea of the title character and the terrible storyline, Shakespeare implants the activity with comic material, as he does with the vast majority of his misfortunes. A large part of the humour comes from the polarity between how Richard's personality is known and the way he tries to show up. A scene from Richard III, coordinated by Keith Fowler for the Virginia Shakespeare Festival in Williamsburg, is one of the primary Shakespearean exhibitions in America. (Here Richard is wounded with a hog stick by the Earl of Richmond.) Richard himself additionally gives a few dry comments experiencing the same thing, as when he intends to wed Queen Elizabeth's girl: "Murder her siblings, then wed her; uncertain method of gain." Other instances of humour in this play incorporate Clarence's hesitant killers and the Duke of Buckingham's report on his endeavour to convince the Londoners to acknowledge Richard ("... I bid them that did love their country's good cry, God save Richard, England's royal king!" Richard says, "And did they so?" Buckingham: "No, so God help me, they didn't say anything...") Puns, a Shakespearean staple, are particularly well addressed in the scene where Richard attempts to convince Queen Elizabeth to charm her daughter on his behalf.

The separation produces in Anne a profound and enduring misgiving. When later Wentworth gets back from the ocean a rich and fruitful chief, he tracks down Anne's family near the precarious edge of monetary ruin and his sister an inhabitant in Kellynch Hall, the Elliot domain. All the strain of the novel spins around one inquiry: Will Anne and Wentworth be brought together in their adoration? Jane Austen once contrasted her composition with painting on a tad of ivory, 2 inches square. Per users of Persuasion will find that neither her expertise for fragile, amusing perceptions of friendly custom, love, and marriage nor her capacity to apply a sharp center focal point to English habits and ethics has abandoned her in her last completed work
