  • Kingston, Kansas
    Donald J. Richardson
    This book represents an attempt to re-visit my home town-La Crosse, Kansas-from a foreign perspective, that of another, a friend and classmate. Of course most of this is imagined as it is impossible to truly know another’s thoughts and true feelings. While much of it is introspective imaginings, however, the intention is affection and love. May the gods smile on such an unde...

  • Maxims of Life and A Blessing
    Donald J. Richardson
    Everyone needs reminders of how to behave. This doesn’t mean children only. We all need to be reminded how to act like mature, responsible people. Most of us resist these reminders, but to do so is to risk developing a personality which excludes others and which lowers our self-esteem.I offer these maxims in humility, confessing that I am not an avatar of perfection; I’m merel...

  • Libertyville
    Donald J. Richardson
    Since the founding of the United States, voting has been of paramount importance to her citizens. Voting has been the true American act. Initially voting was reserved for certain citizens, people of property or of certain birth, nationality, or race. However over time voting has been accorded a privilege to everyone-men and women-of age. No longer was it restricted to those who...

  • The Davey Family Stories
    Donald J. Richardson
    Bedtime was special when my children were very young. We enjoyed reading aloud and telling stories to each other. Such times were special, to be savored and treasured; out of those times came The Davey Family Stories. Each is an extension of our family at the time, and each embodies a modicum of truth--the way it was and the way we wanted it to remain. This wish is still true.A...

  • Venus and Adonis and the Rape of Lucrece
    Donald Richardson
    Neither Venus and Adonis nor the Rape of Lucrece is widely read. Both poems were quite popular during Shakespeare’s time, however, and each gives promise of future development of the playwright’s later skills. Still, as the Riverside Shakespeare says, 'Venus and Adonis . . . is an Ovidian poem that does not fully succeed' (1798). One might assert this about the Rape of Lucrece ...

  • Unto the High Places
    Donald Richardson
    I have pondered the contemplative life, wondering how it could be useful or applicable to one in the twenty-first century. Might it be useful-even in this age of high-speed electronics, of smart phones, and Wikipedia-or should it be consigned to the annals of history to days when life was apparently simpler and quotidian challenges easier to resolve? Reduced to its essentials, ...

  • Complete Reign of King Edward the Third
    Donald Richardson
    Proudfoot and Bennett remind us that 'the authorship of Edward III remains speculative' (89). However, they continue, 'The circumstantial case for Shakespeare has sufficient dimensions to be persuasive, especially the relation of Edward III to Shakespeare’s early non-dramatic and dramatic writings' (89). Whether Shakespeare wrote the play is less important, perhaps, than the fa...

  • Complete the Two Noble Kinsmen
    Donald Richardson
    Based on Chaucers The Knights Tale in Canterbury Tales, The Two Noble Kinsmen takes as a motif the rules of courtly love endorsed by both Arcite and Palamon who, unfortunately, are nearly indistinguishable. As Mowat and Werstine assert, So fraught are the human relations of the play that only the gods can eventually bring them to their resolution (xv). Credit William Shakespear...

  • The Complete Third Part of Henry Vi
    Donald Richardson
    One recurrent criticism of The Third Part of HVI, is its cavalier disregard for chronology and historical events. However, Lawrence V. Ryan argues that the disjointing of time . . . enables him [Shakespeare] to achieve striking dramatic and didactic effects (xxx). Thus, one is enjoined to remember Coleridges admonition to suspend disbelief. Ryan argues that 3HVI is by no means ...

    Detective fiction is said to have begun in 1841 with Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue.” There are antecedents to Poe, but Poe is the progenitor for most Americans.The genre continues to this day with writers like Sue Grafton producing a whole series of books featuring private detective Kinsey Millhone. Others abound as indicated by the best-seller lists. Baxter ...

  • The Complete Second Part of Henry VI
    Donald Richardson
    “The role of prophecy is . . . central in 2 Henry VI, in that it gives to the play a dominant pattern of prediction and eventual fulfillment” (Bevington). This pattern isn’t satisfied, however, as a result of King Henry’s lackadaisical style. Throughout the play, it is clear that Henry is ineffectual as a ruler. Not only that, those who represent him are also handicapped. In fa...

  • The Complete Merry Wives of Windsor
    Donald Richardson
    One critic of the Merry Wives of Windsor argues that “no longer does Shakespeare endow the fat knight [Falstaff] with the nimble wit that enabled him in the earlier plays to extricate himself from every embarrassing situation” (Wright, xii). The result is a “fast-paced farce” (Green, Introduction, lxiv) which “bears traits of Italian comedy” (Green, lxviii). Bate agrees that “t...

  • The Complete Timon of Athens
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    Timon of Athens might be regarded as the ancestor of Moliere’s Les Misanthrope—in that Alceste seems to embody all the negativity of Timon. Timon also illustrates the error of equating friendship with finances. “He finds that his idealization of friendship has been an illusion” (Mowat, xiv). “He is, thus, a man ‘nobly but unwisely generous’” (Hinman, 17). “The play, itself, is ...

  • Approaching Alzheimer’s
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    Alzheimer’s continues to be of concern to those of us who are aging. As the disease cannot be prevented, cured, or slowed, it remains one of the leading causes of death. Thus, how one deals with it becomes a measure of personality and character. Perhaps this is what Ernest Hemingway was getting at when he talked of performing with grace under pressure. ...

  • The Complete Pericles, Prince of Tyre
    Donald Richardson
    Even though most Shakespearean scholars argue that Pericles is not entirely the work of Shakespeare, similar to The Winter’s Tale, it continues to attract playgoers. “Shipwreck, famine, and other disasters punctuate this wondrous tale, in which a knight in rusty armor fights for his true love and a princess kidnaped by pirates retains her honor by setting a virtuous example for...

  • The Complete Titus Andronicus
    Donald Richardson
    Titus Andronicus, like Hamlet, is a revenge tragedy but one that “focuses on violence and horror[;] . . . its mood is one of revulsion” (Bevington, Introduction). Despite parallels between Aaron and Iago and between Titus and Lear, the play extends the genre of revenge tragedy and becomes one of unremitting violence and bloodshed. Although the revenge is supposed to offer some ...

  • The Complete Cymbeline
    Donald Richardson
    Cymbeline repeats many of Shakespeare’s plot devices: “villainous slander, homicidal jealousy, cross-gender disguise, a deathlike trance, the appearance of Jupiter in a vision, and final repentance, forgiveness, and reunion” (Mowat, xiii), all of which result in an “improbable story” (Mowat, xv). As a romance, the play calls to mind the need for Coleridge’s “willing suspension ...

  • The Complete King John
    Donald Richardson
    King John is quite problematic. As the ending is not a satisfying resolution, the audience is left without a sense of completion. It appears everything is left up in the air, unlike the satisfying endings of Lear, Macbeth, or even Hamlet in all of which it is clear that the world will go on despite the tragic events which transpired before. 'The ending rushes not to closure, as...

  • The Complete Troilus and Cressida
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    Troilus and Cressida retells the epic story of the Iliad, but with an altered focus.The tale of these lovers (and Pandarus) was told earlier by both Homer and Geoffrey Chaucer. In Shakespeare, however, the epic proportions are reduced to the quotidian details of human passion, including quarrels and misunderstandings, which reduce the protagonists to a pitying level, including ...

  • The Complete Henry the Eighth
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    Despite its title, Henry the Eighth deals with three other, more important stories: the fall of Cardinal Wolsey, the fall of Queen Katherine, and the raising of Anne Bullen (Boleyn). For Elizabethans, the culmination of the play was, of course, the birth of Elizabeth, heralding their queen and her successor, James. Full treatment of Henry VIII would have to be dealt with by his...

  • The Complete Winter’s Tale
    Donald Richardson
    Blind rage underlies Leontes’ jealousy in The Winter’s Tale. Although his jealously is akin to Othello’s, it is not carried out to the same extent, thanks to the oracle’s pronouncement. While Leontes’s change of heart strains credibility, he does redeem himself and, in the process, changes the tragedy into a comedy, or at least a play with a happy resolution. One might also com...

  • Behold the Sun
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    The Western has become an archetype for the founding of a great portion of the United States. The behavior of the men and women who pioneered the great, vast prairies of the land west of the Mississippi set standards which continue today. Living on the outskirts of formal settlements, they governed their lives and their children’s lives with a code that lives on today, irrespec...

  • The Complete Measure for Measure
    Donald Richardson
    Measure for Measure is 'usually considered one of [Shakespeare’s] unpleasant comedies' (Asimov, 635) since mercy is offered to 'the villain' (Asimov). The duplicity of the Duke is debatable too, along with the final resolution that offers mercy toward the guilty. Like All’s Well That Ends Well, the play should foster discussion about the paternalistic and somewhat insensitive t...

  • The Complete Love’s Labors Lost
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    Love’s Labors Lost is 'widely considered Shakespeare’s most intellectually challenging comedy' (Bate, back cover). From its extensive wordplay to the plot machinations, a reader (viewer) is continuously challenged. The recurrent bawdy is another factor that forces one to pay close attention. Thus, the play can be quite satisfying. However, it can become tiresome too, especially...

  • The Complete All’s Well That Ends Well
    Donald J. Richardson / Donald JRichardson
    The plot of All’s Well That Ends Well is illustrated by what one character says (III.66), 'The web of our life is a tangled yarn.' Through all of the twists and machinations, justice triumphs, and loyalty is rewarded. The play is challenging, however, because of the somewhat inconsistent direction; it has been called a problem play. As Bevington states, 'The web of human life r...
