King Richard III de William Shakespeare

King Richard III

Autor William Shakespeare
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 feb 2010
Stopping at nothing in his evil obsession for the throne, Richard, Duke of Gloucester, schemes and betrays, deceives and murders as he sees fit. Rarely has Shakespeare created a character that is at the same time so intelligent and evil, so despicable and fascinating. In order to wrest the crown from his brother Edward IV he conspires to have his other brother George charged with treason, arrested and murdered. This is enough to kill the severely ill King leaving Richard to serve as regent until the King's heirs are of age. To strengthen his own claim to the throne Richard woos Lady Anne the widow of the also murdered Prince of Wales. The opposition soon forms and the last Lancastrian heir Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond, leads an army from France against Richard. Disturbing and enthralling, Richard III is a gripping tragedy and one of Shakespeare's enduring successes.

Notă biografică

Carl D. Atkins has studied Shakespeare for decades. In addition to his variorum edition of The Sonnets (only the fourth variorum edition since The Sonnets were printed in 1609) he has published two articles on The Sonnets and one on Measure for Measure, all in the respected journal, Studies in Philology. Dr. Atkins has made a complete metrical analysis of all 154 poems, which serves as an excellent companion to Shakespeare's Sonnets Among His Private Friends. It is available gratis at: www.amonghisprivatefriends.com. Dr. Atkins is a physician. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He lives with his wife in New York. Review of Shakespeare's Sonnets: With Three Hundred Years of Commentary: "...Atkins also offers an insightful running commentary on the metrical features of the individual poems, making this edition stand out even further from all other recent editions. Including a fine bibliography, a general index, and three appendixes, this lucid, well-researched edition is the product of many years of labor and love; it will be an indispensable work for those interested in Shakespeare's sonnets." Choice, May 2008

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
King Richard III provides a portrait of Shakespeare's most enduring arch-villain, a man who plots against his brothers, nephews, friends and the powerful women in his life, including Lady Anne, Queen Margaret and Queen Elizabeth.

This influential history play almost displaces the original historical figure it represents as it traces Richard's rise to the throne in 15th century England. Disability and masculine villainy characterise nearly all performances of Richard III, spotlighting early modern and contemporary prejudice about their equivalence. This edition challenges the centrality of Richard as absolute villain who casts all others in his shadow, making space for the formidable women who oppose him.

Exploring overlooked sources of influence, from Tacitus to St Paul, witchcraft to racialisation, and the possibility of Queen Elizabeth I watching a courtly performance of Richard III, this edition highlights what endures and what transforms in a play about the ruthlessness of narcissistic despotism.

The Arden Shakespeare Fourth Series King Richard III provides:
- A critical introduction to the play's textual, cultural and performance history
- An edition that reassesses the complex textual history of the Quarto and Folio texts
- Detailed on-the-page notes explaining language, character and performance
- A clear page layout with an easy-to-read font and single-column notes
- Images of relevant productions, paintings and texts

The Arden Shakespeare Fourth Series includes a new edition of every Shakespeare play, the poems and sonnets. Each volume is edited afresh by a leading scholar specialising in cutting-edge research on performance, gender, sexuality and race. These editions cover everything you need to know as a student, teacher, researcher, theatre-maker and performer of Shakespeare's works today.

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.'
