Florence Mary Bird (born January 15, 1930, Cleveland, Ohio) is an American-born artist and sculptor.
 Bird specializes in creating life-size bronze statues cast from original works she creates first in maquette and ultimately in bronze cast of sizes ranging from table-top works through life-size and larger-than-life size pieces.
 Bird is best known for her work as the resident sculptor for the Mississippi River Sculpture Park located on St. Feriole Island in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin.
 Five of her life-size bronze historical figures ("Native American Warrior Chief Black Hawk", "Dr. William Beaumont and son, Israel", "Victorian Lady", "Julian Coryer Voyageur", and "Emma Big Bear") are presently installed in the city park.
 Plans call for a total of 26 life-size bronze historical figures in this city park, illustrating the nearly 12,000 years of history at this confluence region where the Wisconsin River meets the Mississippi River.
The list of the wealthiest historical figures gathers published estimates as to the (inflation-adjusted) net-worth and fortunes of the wealthiest historical figures in comparison.
 Due to problems arising from different definitions of wealth, ways of measuring it, various economic models throughout history, as well as multiple other reasons—this article discusses the wealthiest people in the following separate historical periods: Antiquity, Middle Ages and modern period.
 Accordingly—because of the previously mentioned difficulties—it is not possible to determine the single richest person in all of history.
According to Dr. Naseeb Shaheen, Shakespeare, in writing his plays, "seldom borrows biblical references from his sources, even when those sources contain many references."
 Roy Battenhouse notes that the Shakespearean tragedy "frequently echoes Bible language or paradigm, even when the play's setting is pagan."
 Similarly, Peter Milward notes that despite their secular appearance, Shakespeare's plays "conceal an undercurrent of religious meaning which belongs to their deepest essence."
 Further, Milward maintains that although Shakespeare "may have felt obliged by the circumstances of the Elizabethan stage to avoid Biblical or other religious subjects for his plays," such obligation "did not prevent him from making full use of the Bible in dramatizing his secular sources and thus infusing into them a Biblical meaning."
 Milward continues that, in writing his plays (in particular, the tragedies), Shakespeare "shows the universal relevance of the Bible both to the reality of human life 'in this harsh world' and to its ideal in the heart of God."
 Steven Marx suggests "a thorough familiarity with the Scriptures" is a prerequisite to understanding the Biblical references in the plays, and that the plays' references to the Bible "illuminate fresh and surprising meanings in the biblical text."
 Marx further notes that "it is possible that Shakespeare sometimes regarded his own role of playwright and performer as godlike, his own book as potent and capacious as 'The Book'."
 It is important to note, as a recent study points out “The diversity of versions reflected in Shakespeare’s writing indicates that ‘Shakespeare’s Bible’ cannot be taken for granted as unitary, since it consists of a network of different translations”
Antony and Cleopatra is a tragedy by William Shakespeare.
 The play was performed first circa 1607 at the Blackfriars Theatre or the Globe Theatre by the King's Men.
The Zenken Kojitsu (前賢故実 ) is a collection of biographies of Japanese historical figures by Kikuchi Yōsai, first published from the late Edo period into the Meiji period.
 It consists of ten volumes and twenty books in total.
 Moving through time from antiquity through the Nanboku-chō period, it contains portraits and rough biographies in kanbun of 585 Imperial family members, loyal retainers, and historical heroines.
 It was groundbreaking for its visualizations of Japanese historical figures and has been treasured as a bible for historical art since the rise in national consciousness of the middle Meiji period.
Egmont is a play by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, which he completed in 1788.
 Its dramaturgical structure, like that of his earlier 'Storm and Stress' play "Götz von Berlichingen" (1773), is heavily influenced by Shakespearean tragedy.
 In contrast to the earlier work, the portrait in "Egmont" of the downfall of a man who trusts in the goodness of those around him appears to mark a shift away from 'Storm and Stress' values.
Ran (乱, Japanese for "chaos") is a 1985 period tragedy directed, edited and co-written by Akira Kurosawa as an adaptation of Shakespeare's tragedy "King Lear".
 It is a Japanese-French venture produced by Herald Ace, Nippon Herald Films and Greenwich Film Productions.
 The film stars Tatsuya Nakadai as Hidetora Ichimonji, an aging "Sengoku"-era warlord who decides to abdicate as ruler in favor of his three sons.
 The film is an adaptation of the Shakespearean tragedy "King Lear", and includes segments based on legends of the "daimyō" Mōri Motonari.
Shakespearean tragedy is the designation given to most tragedies written by playwright William Shakespeare.
 Many of his history plays share the qualifiers of a Shakespearean tragedy, but because they are based on real figures throughout the History of England, they were classified as "histories" in the First Folio.
 The Roman tragedies—"Julius Caesar", "Antony and Cleopatra" and "Coriolanus"—are also based on historical figures, but because their source stories were foreign and ancient they are almost always classified as tragedies rather than histories.
 Shakespeare's romances (tragicomic plays) were written late in his career and published originally as either tragedy or comedy.
 They share some elements of tragedy featuring a high status central character but end happily like Shakespearean comedies.
 Several hundred years after Shakespeare's death, scholar F.S. Boas also coined a fifth category, the "problem play," for plays that don't fit neatly into a single classification because of their subject matter, setting, or ending.
 The classifications of certain Shakespeare plays are still debated among scholars.

Hamlet is a 1990 drama film based on the Shakespearean tragedy of the same name, directed by Franco Zeffirelli and starring Mel Gibson as the eponymous character.

 An international co-production between the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, the film is notable for being the first film produced by Icon Productions, a company co-founded by Gibson.
