Four Tragedies : Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, Macbeth
ISBN: 9780140434583 / Angielski / Miękka / 960 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A Penguin Classics edition containing Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth
The theme of the great Shakespearean tragedies is the fall from grace of a great man due to a flaw in his nature. Whether it is the ruthless ambition of Macbeth or the folly of Lear, the irresolution of Hamlet or the suspicion of Othello, the cause of the tragedy - even when it is the murder of a king - is trifling compared to the calamity that it unleashes. Despite his flawed nature, however, the tragic hero has a nobility that emphasizes the greatness of man. From this... A Penguin Classics edition containing Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth

This book charts the influence of Seneca--both as specific text and inherited tradition--through an analysis of Shakespeare's tragedies. Discerning patterns in previously attested borrowings and discovering new indebtedness, it presents an integrated and comprehensive assessment. Familiar methods of source study and a sophisticated understanding of intertextuality are employed to re-evaluate the much maligned Seneca in the light of his Greek antecedents, Renaissance translations and commentaries, and dramatic adaptations--especially those of Chapman, Jonson, Marston, Garnier, Cinthio, and...

Shakespeare and the Constant Romans
ISBN: 9780198117711 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Shakespeare's Romans are intensely concerned with "constancy." Geoffrey Miles traces the Stoic origins of this Roman principle of being "always the same" and explores the varying forms it takes in writers such as Cicero, Seneca, and Montaigne. Building on this genealogy of constancy, Miles reads Shakespeare's Roman plays as reworkings of three figures found in Plutarch: the constant Brutus, the inconstant Antony, and the obstinate Coriolanus. The tragedies of these characters act out the attractions, flaws, and self-contradictions of constancy, and the tragicomic failure of the Roman hope...

The Oxford Shakespeare: Troilus and Cressida
ISBN: 9780198129035 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Given the wealth of formal debate contained in this tragedy, Troilus and Cressida was probably written in 1602 for a performance at one of the Inns of the Court.

When a new play was required at short notice for a court occasion in 1597, Shakespeare created The Merry Wives of Windsor, a warm-hearted and spirited "citizen comedy" filled with boisterous action, situational irony, rich characterization--and the likes of Falstaff, Pistol, Mistress Quickly, and Justice Shallow. In his introduction and commentary, Craik examines a wide range of topics, including the play's probable occasion, its relationship to Shakespeare's English history plays and to other sources, its textual history, with particular reference to the widely diverging 1623 Folio...

The Oxford Shakespeare: Pericles
ISBN: 9780198129325 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Pericles was one of the most popular plays of its time, and it has regained much of that popularity today. In a wide-ranging introduction, Roger Warren draws on his experience of the play in rehearsal and performance to explore the reasons for this enduring popularity. Unfortunately Pericles survives only in a corrupt text, the Quarto of 1609, in which many passages are nonsensical and others appear to be missing altogether. Earlier editions have merely cleaned-up the Quarto, but this edition offers a conjectural reconstruction of what the original play...
