The playwright Ben Jonson (1572-1637) was commonly regarded during his lifetime and the century following his death as a writer whose powers were equal, if not superior, to those of Shakespeare.

Late Shakespeare: A New World of Words
ISBN: 9780198186892 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Palfrey presents a new vision of character, metaphor, and politics in late Shakespeare. Closely analyzing Shakespeare's use of language and genre, he shows how the plays revamp theatrical decorums. The plays are not courtly, sober, and escapist, as their reputation suggests; rather, they are peculiarly sensitive to the turbulent, unfinished quality of Shakespeare's historical moment. In both court and wilderness, Shakespeare analyzes the violence of authority, the tensions in language, and the origin and prospects of both. Palfrey argues against a conventional sense of the plays' movement...

ISBN: 9780198711766 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Shakespeare in the Theatre offers a rich, varied, and wonderfully evocative collection of eyewitness accounts of Shakespearian performances over the centuries.

Here too are lesser-known pieces by great writers: the German novelist Theodor Fontane on Charles Kean, Evelyn Waugh on...

ISBN: 9780198721345 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This new edition of Choephori takes into account the abundance of recent scholarship on Aeschylus' work. A. F.

This edition reprints the Greek text and critical apparatus from the well-received Oxford Classical Text, edited by D. L. Page, and includes 350 pages of commentary devoted to problems of interpretation, style and dramatic technique.

Birds
ISBN: 9780198721772 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Birds is generally recognized as one of Aristophanes' masterpieces, for its imaginative plot (it is the source of the word "Cloudcuckooland"), and its charming and original lyrics. This abridgment of Nan Dunbar's widely acclaimed edition of Birds, published in 1995, preserves all the material designed to help the less advanced student of Greek or the non-specialist to translate, understand, and enjoy the play. It also retains the notes on staging, but the metrical, textual, and ornithological problems are dealt with more summarily, and purely illustrative parallels are omitted.

Euripides Alcestis
ISBN: 9780199254668 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Alcestis is one of Euripides' richest and most brilliant--as well as most controversial--plays. But, apart from D. J. Conacher's student text, no annotated edition in English has appeared for more than fifty years. The present work is designed to aid close reading and to serve as an introduction to the serious study of the play in its various aspects. The introduction covers the background to the story in myth and folktale, its treatment by other writers from antiquity to the present, the critical reception of Euripides' play, and its textual transmission and meters. The notes are designed in...

Shakespeare, Machiavelli, and Montaigne: Power and Subjectivity from Richard II to Hamlet
ISBN: 9780199257607 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The four plays of Shakespeare's Henriad and the slightly later Hamlet brilliantly explore interconnections between political power and interior subjectivity as productions of the newly emerging constellation we call modernity. Hugh Grady argues that for Shakespeare subjectivity was a critical, negative mode of resistance to power--not, as many recent critics have asserted, its abettor.
