The books had an image of Bottom on the cover. Volume 1 was a discussion of CYM. Vol 2 was slimmer, with musical score for CYM.
Terry gave it to me because of the cover drawing I think.
I recall that the authors' names were Slavic.
The reason I'm trying to recall all of this is that Jon Watson is currently writing CYM: the musical.
Thanks for responses. It is great to hear your voices. Now please get your shots.
Cheers,
Doc
Or maybe Cymbeline paired with Midsummer?
I was looking for pairs of books, boxed volumes of a two-book Cymbeline. All I could find were sets of Cymbeline and Winter’s Tale, say, or another romance. Is it possible your pairing present was one of those, Terry?
I totally agree and that is the connection I thought of, as well. Just cause it’s a strange fish doesn’t mean it’s not an interesting one! Gail
Hey Gail!
I'm with you. We need more details but Doc would have to be the one to provide them.
I'm so struck by the idea that the title would evoke Bottom's dream. Which makes sense when you think about how Posthumus' dream in Cymbeline echos Bottom's. Bottom and Posthumus are both so affected by their dreams ;and if Posthumus' dream actually plays out on stage, Bottom seems to think his dream has done the same somehow. I really love the juxtaposition and hope there is such a two volume set.
love,
I have really tried to figure out what these books may be, but I give up! It is a “strange fish.”
I’m with John and Jerald. Perhaps more details might help?
So wish I could have solved the mystery.
Terry, I’m sure we would all like to be together again—I love your imagining it.
I was thinking the same thing John about the two volume set on Cymbeline. Who would have thought it? How could you misplace that ?
Jerald
Hello Terry.I'm still trying to wrap my brains around the idea of a two volume study about Cymbeline, much less why the title would refer to Bottom (wrong play). Next you'll be telling me about the four-volume in-depth analysis of Timon of Athens (with multiple recipes on how to serve boiling water for 12 debtors and their spouses). The Titus Andronicus cookbook I don't even want to know about.Best of luck on your search.JohnQuoting tlgalloway via Shakespeare at Winedale Email List <shakespeare-at-winedale-email-list@googlegroups.com>:Hey Guys!
Doc emailed me a few days ago asking about a book he was sure I gave him back in the 70's. Here's his email:
"Somewhere in the ’70’s you gave me a two volume set of books on Cymbeline. The title of the books referred to Bottom. I have no idea where the book is. Do you remember the title?"
I wasn't sure that it was me -- I remember giving him a pipe to match my own but I don't remember giving him two volumes on Cymbeline.
Does this ring a bell for anybody else out there in Winedale land?
Love to you all. And ah, I keep wishing for a weekend -- not to put on a play (because there is still no hope of getting that wish) but a more casual get together to shoot the Shakespearean bull and play.
Missing Doc, missing the barn, missing Shakespeare and missing you all.
Love, Terry
