Notă biografică

William Shakespeare (23.4.1564 in Stratford ¿ 23.4.1616 in Stratford) gehört neben Christopher Marlowe und Ben Jonson zu den maßgeblichen Protagonisten des Elisabethanischen Theaters. Der Sohn eines Handschuhherstellers besucht eine Lateinschule und beginnt mit seiner Mitgliedschaft bei den Lord Chamberlain¿s Men (später King¿s Men) seine Karriere als Schriftsteller, Lyriker und Schauspieler. Ab 1599 ist Shakespeare Teilhaber des Globe Theaters in London. 1612 zieht er zurück in seine Heimatstadt Stratford, wo er seinen Lebensabend verbringt. Neben 154 Sonetten und Versdichtungen werden ihm 38 Dramen zugeschrieben, die er in einem Zeitraum von 21 Jahren zu Papier bringt. Bekannt sind Geschichtsdramen, wie etwa »Julius Cäsar« (»Julius Caesar«), »Heinrich V.« (»King Henry V.«) oder»Richard III«. Daneben stehen Komödien wie »Ein Sommernachtstraum« (»A Midsummer Night¿s Dream«) oder »Viel Lärm um nichts« (»Much ado about nothing«) oder Tragödien, wie »Macbeth«, »Othello«, »Hamlet« und »König Lear« (»King Lear«). In »Romeo und Julia« (»Romeo and Juliet«) schuf Shakespeare eines der populärsten Liebespaare der Theatergeschichte.

Recenzii

There is much to admire about Siemon's labours here, and taken in its own edition is a fine resource for those wanting to read a well annotated text of the play or to go deeply into the performance and textual histories of the play...
'James R. Siemon, aided by a crack team of general editors (Richard Proudfoot, George Walton Williams and David Scott Kastan), has produced a nearly perfect edition of the play...(a) supremely engaging edition.'
