Cibber's Revision of Shakespeare's Richard III is a book written by Arthur Cleveland and published in 1911. The book is a critical analysis of the play Richard III by William Shakespeare and focuses on the revisions made by Colley Cibber, a famous English actor, and playwright. Cleveland's book provides a detailed examination of Cibber's changes to Shakespeare's original text, including alterations to the plot, characterizations, and language. The author also explores the historical context in which Cibber's revision was produced and the reception it received from audiences and critics.Through his analysis, Cleveland argues that Cibber's revision was not simply a modernization of Shakespeare's play, but rather a deliberate attempt to shape the play to fit the tastes and values of the 18th-century audience. The book is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Shakespearean literature, as well as those interested in the history of theatrical adaptations. Overall, Cibber's Revision of Shakespeare's Richard III is a well-researched and insightful examination of the relationship between Shakespeare's original text and the revisions made by a later playwright, shedding light on the evolution of Shakespearean drama over time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
