The Complete Measure for Measure: An Annotated Edition of the Shakespeare Play
ISBN: 9781504959148 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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 treatment of women and their right to control their own bodies. "Critics have often debated both the quality of the justice the play delivers and its attempt to balance the respective claims of Law and Mercy" (Crewe,...

The Complete Troilus and Cressida: An Annotated Edition of the Shakespeare Play
ISBN: 9781504984041 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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 "calculation and manipulation" (Mowat, xv). The result has been called satire; unfortunately, it is satire without bite or humor.

The Complete Henry the Eighth: An Annotated Edition of the Shakespeare Play
ISBN: 9781504973137 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. 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 historians. The machinations of court life under Henry were to be continued under Elizabeth but, unlike her father, to much greater political success. James, unfortunately, is another story altogether.
