Much Ado About Nothing de William Shakespeare

Much Ado About Nothing: Folger Shakespeare Library

Autor William Shakespeare Editat de Dr. Barbara A. Mowat, Paul Werstine Ph.D.
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 ian 2004

Considerăm această ediție a piesei Much Ado About Nothing un instrument de studiu esențial, structurat metodologic pentru a facilita trecerea de la lectura de plăcere la analiza critică. Organizarea materialului urmărește o progresie logică: textul original este flancat de note explicative, fiind urmat de o secțiune densă de „Perspective și teme” care analizează mecanismele de înșelăciune și „noting” (observare/ascultare) ce guvernează acțiunea în Messina. Această abordare didactică permite cititorului să identifice rapid cum zvonurile și dezinformarea influențează ambele planuri narative: cel tragicomic al cuplului Hero-Claudio și cel spiritual al duelurilor verbale dintre Beatrice și Benedick.

Subliniem importanța aparatului critic integrat de Cedric Watts și Claire McEachern, care transformă experiența lecturii prin detalii despre convențiile teatrului elisabetan și figurile de stil utilizate de William Shakespeare. Ediția de față completează perspectiva oferită de Much Ado About Nothing: A Critical Reader de Dr. Deborah Cartmell, adăugând textul integral adnotat și exerciții practice de scriere academică, în timp ce lucrarea menționată se concentrează preponderent pe istoricul reprezentațiilor scenice și ecranizărilor moderne.

În contextul operei autorului, dacă ediții precum The Tempest sunt orientate strict spre curriculumul GCSE, volumul de față adoptă o viziune mai largă, oferind o galerie foto și analize de interpretare care îi ajută pe studenți să vizualizeze piesa în context performativ. Credem că această ediție reușește să mențină echilibrul între rigoarea academică și accesibilitatea necesară unui cititor contemporan, oferind claritate asupra unor termeni arhaici fără a fragmenta cursivitatea lecturii.

Despre autor

William Shakespeare (1564–1616) este recunoscut universal drept cel mai important dramaturg al limbii engleze. Cariera sa în Londra, ca actor și acționar al companiei Lord Chamberlain's Men, i-a permis să creeze un corpus impresionant de 39 de piese și 154 de sonete. Much Ado About Nothing aparține perioadei sale de maturitate în genul comediei, demonstrând măiestria sa în utilizarea dialogului scânteietor și a jocurilor de cuvinte complexe. Opera sa, tradusă în toate limbile majore, rămâne fundamentul literaturii dramatice universale, fiind continuu reinterpretată în mediul academic și artistic.

Descriere scurtă

The authoritative edition of Much Ado About Nothing from the Folger Shakespeare Library—the most trusted Shakespeare series for students, educators, and general readers—offers a complete, accessible resource for exploring one of William Shakespeare’s best-known romantic comedies.

A favorite on stage and in classrooms, Much Ado About Nothing presents two contrasting love stories: the impulsive romance between Hero and Claudio, threatened by deception from the scheming Don John, and the witty, slow-burn relationship between Beatrice and Benedick, whose verbal sparring conceals deep affection. Set in Elizabethan England, this richly layered comedy combines mistaken identity, honor, betrayal, and emotional redemption.

This Folger Shakespeare Library edition features the highly praised side-by-side format with explanatory notes and language guides—ideal for students and anyone new to Shakespeare’s plays. Edited from the best early printed text, this edition includes:
· The exact text of the printed play for easy reference
· Hundreds of hyperlinked notes for fast navigation
· A modern introduction to reading Shakespeare’s language
· Scene-by-scene plot summaries and analysis
· A guide to Shakespeare’s most famous lines and phrases
· A new essay by Gail Kern Paster, offering a contemporary perspective on the play
· Rare archival images from the Folger Shakespeare Library’s world-renowned collection
· An annotated guide for further reading and research

The Folger Shakespeare Library, located in Washington, DC, is home to the largest collection of Shakespeare materials and serves as a hub for scholars and fans alike. With public exhibitions, performances, and educational programs, the Folger is an unparalleled resource for appreciating Shakespearean drama in the modern age.

Notă biografică

William Shakespeare was born in April 1564 in the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, on England’s Avon River. When he was eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway. The couple had three children—an older daughter Susanna and twins, Judith and Hamnet. Hamnet, Shakespeare’s only son, died in childhood. The bulk of Shakespeare’s working life was spent in the theater world of London, where he established himself professionally by the early 1590s. He enjoyed success not only as a playwright and poet, but also as an actor and shareholder in an acting company. Although some think that sometime between 1610 and 1613 Shakespeare retired from the theater and returned home to Stratford, where he died in 1616, others believe that he may have continued to work in London until close to his death.

Barbara A. Mowat is Director of Research emerita at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Consulting Editor of Shakespeare Quarterly, and author of The Dramaturgy of Shakespeare’s Romances and of essays on Shakespeare’s plays and their editing.

Paul Werstine is Professor of English at the Graduate School and at King’s University College at Western University. He is a general editor of the New Variorum Shakespeare and author of Early Modern Playhouse Manuscripts and the Editing of Shakespeare and of many papers and articles on the printing and editing of Shakespeare’s plays.

What distinguishes these editions, and makes them of particular interest to drama and theatre departments, is their unique concentration on theatrical production.' Studies in Theatre Production
'I cannot recommend too highly the whole series (a bargain at £16.99 for each play) to all theatre lovers, theatregoers, theatre practitioners, and anybody who enjoys Shakespeare.' Robert Tanitch, What's on in London

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Great pains have been taken to follow Shakespeare's intentions with regard to the act and scene division and the exact form of speech. The editing has been done from the quarto or folio texts, depending on which is considered more authoritative, and the ideal has been to reproduce the chosen texts with as few alterations as possible. In order to help the reader and student, the annotations have been arranged on the relevant pages, providing an easily accessible and indispensable source of information.
