Timon of Athens de William Shakespeare

Timon of Athens

Autor William Shakespeare
en Limba Engleză Paperback
William Shakespeare is almost universally considered the English language's most famous and greatest writer. In fact, the only people who might dispute that are those who think he didn't write the surviving 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems still attributed to him. Even people who never get around to reading his works in class are instantly familiar with titles like King Lear, Othello, Hamlet, Macbeth, and Romeo & Shakespeare. Timon of Athens is a play about the fortunes of a popular citizen of ancient Athens.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'The moon's an arrant thief,And her pale fire she snatches from the sun.'How should society treat its bankrupts? What are the ethics of debt collection? What does it mean to be rich, to be poor? And can you ever really buy friendship? In Timon of Athens, Shakespeare and Middleton pose these and other questions as they chart the dramatic downfall of an Athenian nobleman, exposing the corrosive effects of money and status. At once a critique of wealth inequality and a meditation on the fragility of human bonds, the play presents Timon as one of the playwright's most puzzling and enigmatic creations. In her introduction, Sophie Battell connects early modern debates on usury to the continuing reverberations of the recent financial crisis and global recession. 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.

Recenzii

"Timon of Athens is one of the most enigmatic and underappreciated of Shakespeare's plays, yet its urgency for our times is not to be understated. Guided by Douglas Lanier's astute and accessible commentary throughout, this edition positions Timon in a range of historical, theoretical, and performance contexts. The superb Introduction and supplementary resources help the reader navigate key issues—ranging from money, friendship, and cynicism to art, ethics, and collaborative authorship—as well as consider contemporary adaptations on stage and screen. This edition will be a welcome resource for teachers and students at both undergraduate and graduate levels."
—Jay Zysk, Department of English, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth
"Douglas Lanier's Introduction immerses us in the play's daring experiments with genre, its ethical and economic dilemmas, and its emotional and tonal range. He shows how Timon of Athens not only resonates with our troubled cultural moment but also speaks eloquently of its own times. His essay on appreciating the play as a performance script advises us expertly on how to read it as directors do and how to be alert to its radical openness to interpretation."
—Stephen M. Buhler, Department of English, University of Nebraska–Lincoln
"An ideal addition to my syllabus; I regularly teach this play owing to my current students' interest in business and management. Also, in my own work, I follow 19th century readers of Timon, most especially Karl Marx who quotes from it at length in his notes in Capital, Volume 1. I applaud the volume editor, Douglas Lanier, for his care in glossing and also for making connections (below the line) to other works by Shakespeare—which makes a good case for considering Timon as being more central to the overall Shakespeare canon than previously assumed (and notwithstanding Middleton's role in this play as well as in, of course, Macbeth). This is a handy and inexpensive edition that my students will enjoy using."
—William Engel, Sewanee: The University of the South
