Shylock is my name, 2016: title page (a novel : William Shakespeare's The merchant of Venice retold) Wikipedia, May 4, 2016 (The Merchant of Venice is a play by William Shakespeare in which a merchant in 16th-century Venice must default on a large loan provided by an abused Jewish moneylender. It is believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598. Though classified as a comedy in the First Folio and sharing certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is perhaps most remembered for its dramatic scenes, and is best known for Shylock and the famous "Hath not a Jew eyes?" speech.

Operas: Josef Bohuslav Foerster's three-act Czech opera Jessika; Reynaldo Hahn's three-act French opera Le marchand de Venise; André Tchaikowsky's opera The Merchant of Venice) The merchant of Venice: Q & A, viewed online May 4, 2016 (The play has been dated as early as 1594 and as late as 1598, but 1596 seems to be the most plausible date of composition. In September 1598, Francis Meres published his Palladis Tamia, in which he mentions Shakespeare and, specifically, The Merchant of Venice. Shakespeare makes a reference to a ship called the St. Andrew (I.i.27) - a real Spanish ship captured in the sack of Cádiz in 1596. Salerio says, "See my wealthy Andrew docked in sand, veiling her high-top lower than her ribs to kiss her burial" (1.1.27). So it seems logical that the play was written in 1596 or shortly after.) <http://www.shakespeare-online.com/faq/merchantfaq.html> |
