Oxford Shakespeare: Titus Andronicus

Informationen zum Autor Eugene M. Waith is Professor Emeritus at the Department of English, Yale University. Klappentext The text of this edition of Titus Andronicus, based on the Quarto of 1594 except for one scene (3.2) which first appeared in the Folio of 1623, has been freshly edited with the aim of presenting the play as revised for the first recorded performances in 1594, with the addition of stage business from the prompt-copy from which the folio edition derives. Zusammenfassung Titus Andronicus was the young Shakespeare's audacious, sporadically brilliant experiment in sensational tragedy. Its horrors are notorious, but its powerful poetry of grief is the work of a true tragic poet. Introducing this edition, E.M. Waith provides a fresh view of the play in its historical context as well as an original discussion of the famous 'Peacham' drawing - the only surviving contemporary Shakespeare illustration. An illustrated account of performances, notably Peter Brook's production with Oliver as Titus, leads to an assessment of the play's qualities in the light of its critical reception. The eighteenth-century version of the play's probable source is given in one of the appendices.
