Othello Othello
Автор: Жанр: Dover Publications Издательство: Dover Publications Год: 2008 Страниц: 112 Дата загрузки: 05 июня 2010
   One of the greatest of Shakespeare`s tragedies, `Othello` tells the story of a Moorish general in command of the armed forces of Venice, who earns the enmity of his ensign Iago by passing him over for a promotion. Partly for revenge and partly out of pure evil, Iago plots to convince Othello that Desdemona, his wife, has been unfaithful to him. Iago succeeds in his evil aims only too well, for the enraged Othello murders Desdemona. When Othello later learns of her innocence, he takes his own life. Bleak and unsparing, this play offers a stunning portrait of an arch-villain and an astute psychological study of the nature of evil.

Hamlet Hamlet
Автор: Жанр: Hachette FLE Издательство: Hachette FLE Год: 2009 Страниц: 223 Дата загрузки: 07 апреля 2013
   Pour mener à bien sa vengeance sans éveiller les soupçons, Hamlet feint la folie. Lorsque le fantôme de son père lui révèle que Claudius, souverain actuel et frère du défunt roi, est le meurtrier de celui-ci, on s'attend à une stratégie ingénieuse, d'autant que le prince semble plein de courage, d'insolence et d'esprit. Or, durant quatre actes, il ne commet qu'un seul meurtre, conséquence d'une erreur de perception. À la fin de la pièce, il venge son père, mais in extremis. Hamlet est une tragédie intérieure, presque intime, dont le rythme est motivé par les hésitations du héros qui donnent lieu à des scènes superbes de grandeur pathétique, car elles disent l'aspiration de l'homme à la liberté et au repos, malgré l'enfermement obsessionnel auquel l'existence le condamne. Tragédie du doute, voyage dans un esprit qui ne rêve que d'immatérialité mais ne parvient pas à prendre son envol, Hamlet, pièce mélancolique, nous invite à un saut existentiel.

The Tempest The Tempest
Автор: Жанр: Oxford University Press Издательство: Oxford University Press Год: 2009 Страниц: 256 Дата загрузки: 26 мая 2012
   Performed variously as escapist fantasy, celebratory fiction, and political allegory, The Tempest is one of the plays in which Shakespeare's genius as a poetic dramatist found its fullest expression. Significantly, it was placed first when published in the First Folio of 1623, and is now generally seen as the playwright's most penetrating statement about his art. Stephen Orgel's wide-ranging introduction examines changing attitudes to The Tempest, and reassesses the evidence behind the various readings. He focuses on key characters and their roles and relationships, as well as on the dramatic, historical, and political context, finding the play to be both more open and more historically determined than traditional views have allowed.
 
Timon of Athens Timon of Athens
Автор: Жанр: Oxford University Press Издательство: Oxford University Press Год: 2009 Страниц: 384 Дата загрузки: 15 декабря 2011
   Timon of Athens is a bitterly intriguing study of a fabulously rich man who wastes his wealth on his friends, and, when he is finally impoverished, learns to despise humanity with a hatred that drives him to his grave. The play's plot structure is schematically clear, and the poetry of Timon's rage is arresting in its savage intensity. Yet readers have often detected loose ends, and the tone of writing is uneven. In his introduction, John Jowett explains how these characteristics arise because the play was written as a collaboration between Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton. This edition pays full justice to Middleton's presence, explaining how his contribution gave the play its distinctive edge. Readers need to read this play as a dialogue between writers of different temperaments, and this edition is the first to make such a reading possible. The introduction provides the fullest account of the play's performance history available. The commentary is the most detailed ever to have been published. Appendices include source materials and a listing of major productions worldwide.
 
King Henry VIII King Henry VIII

The editor accepts the view that the play is a collaboration between Shakespeare and Fletcher. Unique to this edition is the frequent reference to Cavendish's biography of Wolsey, neglected in earlier editions. This edition includes a fully detailed commentary and a selective collation of major variant readings appear immediately beneath the text. Special attention has been paid to the frequent allusion to scripture and proverb law. An index to all words glossed and authorities cited appears at the end of the volume.
 
A Midsummer Night's Dream A Midsummer Night's Dream
Автор: Жанр: Oxford University Press Издательство: Oxford University Press Год: 2009 Страниц: 288 Дата загрузки: 14 сентября 2014
   A Midsummer Night's Dream is perhaps Shakespeare's most popular play, particularly as a first introduction to Shakespeare for children--filled as it is with a marvelous mixture of aristocrats, workers, and fairies. For this edition, Peter Holland's introduction looks at dreams and dreamers, tracing the materials out of which Shakespeare constructs his world of night and shadows.

   Usually classified as a «problem comedy», All's Well that Ends Well is a psychologically disturbing presentation of an aggressive, designing woman and a reluctant husband wooed by trickery. In her introduction Susan Snyder makes the play's clashing ideologies of class and gender newly accessible, and offers a fully reconsidered, annotated text for both readers and actors.
 
As You Like It As You Like It
Автор: Жанр: Oxford University Press Издательство: Oxford University Press Год: 2009 Страниц: 256 Дата загрузки: 26 мая 2012
   With its witty heroine Rosalind, who has the longest role of Shakespeare's female characters, As You Like It is Shakespeare's most light-hearted and most performed comedy. This edition includes numerous illustrations of productions and reassesses both its textual and performance history, showing how interpretations have changed since the first recorded production in 1740. It also examines Shakespeare's sources and elucidates the central themes of love, pastoral, and doubleness, and provides detailed annotations investigating the play's allusive and often bawdy language.
 
Coriolanus Coriolanus
Автор: Жанр: Oxford University Press Издательство: Oxford University Press Год: 2009 Страниц: 400 Дата загрузки: 15 апреля 2013
   Perhaps the most brilliant political play ever written, Coriolanus is a gripping psychological study of the relationship between personality and politics, and its Roman hero one of the most memorable Shakespeare ever created. The introduction to this new edition offers the first full stage history and analysis of the original production of Coriolanus at the Blackfriars theater, and also examines Shakespeare's adaptation of his historical material while emphasizing the wide range of interpretations that are possible in performance.

   The introduction includes an examination of the Quarto and texts, and of the relationship between them; a critical discussion of the play's historical and literary sources; an examination of conflicting critical attitudes to the play, and of its fluctuating theatrical fortunes; and a demonstration of the range and variety of Shakespeare's characterization.
 
Henry VI, Part One Henry VI, Part One
Автор: Жанр: Oxford University Press Издательство: Oxford University Press Год: 2009 Страниц: 272 Дата загрузки: 28 июля 2010
   Henry VI: Part One is a dramatic tale of the lives of soldiers, diplomats, kings, and insurrectionists. It depicts the fractious instability of the court and nobility of fifteenth-century England, and their squabbles with their French counterparts. Despite its debut performance in 1592, however, Henry VI: Part One does not appear in printed form until some thirty years later, in the 1623 folio. There are many questions, therefore, surrounding exactly how many people wrote the play, when they did so, how it was performed, who played what part, and the nature of the manuscript behind the first performance. In his wide-ranging introduction, Michael Taylor offers answers to these questions, and discusses other key issues such as language, structure, performance history, and the role of women in the play. Taylor edits the play for students, scholars, and theater-goers with an informative commentary on all aspects of the language, action, characters, and staging. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum 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, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
 
Henry VI, Part Three Henry VI, Part Three
Автор: Жанр: Oxford University Press Издательство: Oxford University Press Год: 2009 Страниц: 402 Дата загрузки: 18 июня 2011
   This new edition to the Oxford Shakespeare series, based on the 1623 First Folio text, challenges conventional thinking about the nature and relationship of the earliest texts. It contributes substantial new evidence about Shakespeare's revision of the plays and the introduction and commentary focus on stage-oriented discussions of the play's meaning and reception.
 
Love's Labour's Lost Love's Labour's Lost
Автор: Жанр: Oxford University Press Издательство: Oxford University Press Год: 2009 Страниц: 272 Дата загрузки: 28 июля 2010
   Love's Labour's Lost, now recognized as one of the most delightful and stageworthy of Shakespeare's comedies, came into its own both on the stage and in critical esteem only during the 1930s and 1940s--after nearly three hundred years of neglect by the theater and misuse by critics. In this new critical edition, Hibbard pays particular attention to this process of rehabilitation. Based on the quarto of 1598, and drawing on recent scholarly analysis, he proposes that the quarto goes back, probably by way of a «lost» quarto, to an authorial manuscript that represents the play in a state prior to «fair copy.» He offers numerous original readings of difficult and disputed passages, and a helpful commentary to the play's scintillating language.
 
Measure for Measure Measure for Measure
Автор: Жанр: Oxford University Press Издательство: Oxford University Press Год: 2009 Страниц: 272 Дата загрузки: 28 июля 2010
   Shakespeare's vivid dramatic projection of moral and ethical issues in Measure for Measure has given the play great appeal to both readers and theatergoers. Exploring the play's qualities as a complex work of art written specifically for the theater, the introduction to this new edition sets the play in its historical context, discussing the originality of Shakespeare's treatment of a well-known story. Bawcutt explains the obsolete marriage customs, and also offers a comprehensive account of the text's theatrical afterlife from Restoration adaptations to recent productions.
