The Narrative Poems
Autor William Shakespeare Editat de Jonathan Crewe, William Montgomeryen Limba Engleză Paperback – sep 1999
"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart) The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged.

Textul de pe ultima copertă
The general editors of the new series of forty-two volumes -- renowned Shakespeareans Stephen Orgel of Stanford University and A. R. Braunmuller of UCLA -- have assembled a team of six eminent scholars who have, along with the general editors themselves, prepared new introductions and notes to all of Shakespeare's plays and poems. Redesigned in an easy-to-read format that preserves the favorite features of the original -- and including an essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare, an introduction to the individual play, and a note on the text used -- the new Pelican Shakespeare will be an excellent resource for students, teachers, and theater professionals well into the twenty-first century.
Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Love surfeits not; lust like a glutton dies.Love is all truth, lust full of forgèd lies.'Love, lust, greed, grief, envy, ecstasy—Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis and Lucrece map and exhibit the full spectrum of emotion (human, divine, animal, and even vegetal). Written early in his career, these narrative poems were box-office sensations that defined Shakespeare as an author; in his lifetime, Venus proved to be his best-selling work, and Lucrece his most quoted. As well as exploring the poems in their literary and cultural contexts, this Oxford World's Classic edition highlights issues of environment, gender, sexuality, violence, and art that made these works so popular among their earliest readers, and which make them feel timely still.The New Oxford Shakespeare offers authoritative editions of Shakespeare's works with introductory materials designed to encourage new interpretations of the plays and poems. Using the text from the landmark The New Oxford Shakespeare Complete Works: Modern Critical Edition, these volumes offer readers the latest thinking on the authentic texts (collated from all surviving original versions of Shakespeare's work) alongside innovative introductions from leading scholars. The texts are accompanied by a comprehensive set of critical apparatus to give readers the best resources to help understand and enjoy Shakespeare's work.ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
