William Shakespeare, Sheldon P Zitner (Editor)Sparkling with the witty dialogue between Beatrice and Benedicts, Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare's most enjoyable and theatrically successful comedies. This edition offers a newly edited text and an exceptionally helpful and critically aware introduction. Paying particular attention to analysis of the play's minor characters, Sheldon P Zitner discusses Shakespeare's transformation of his source material. He rethinks the attitudes to gender relations that underlie the comedy and determine its view of marriage. Allowing for the play's openness to reinterpretation by successive generations of readers and peformers, Zitner provides a socially analytic stage history, advancing new views for the actor as much as for the critic.

Edited by the eminent A.R. Braunmuller, this thorough edition of King John--the first scholarly edition in almost fifteen years--makes a significant contribution to the study of Shakespeare''s works. Braunmuller offers a wide-ranging critical introduction, which focuses on the play''s political relevance in Elizabethan England, its relationship to legal issues of the day, its treatment of women and families, and its overall aesthetic importance in Shakespeare''s early career. He also provides a richly detailed stage history, full annotations that are especially sensitive to the play''s language and staging, and an ample bibliographical study of the Folio (1623) text. The most comprehensive and up-to-date edition of King John currently available, this book is an invaluable resource for Shakespearean scholars, students, and theatergoers alike. History play in five acts by William Shakespeare, produced in 1596-97 and published in the First Folio of 1623 from an authorial fair copy. The title character provides the central focus of the play, which ends with his death. The playwright surrounds him with such characters as the son of Sir Robert Faulconbridge, known as the Bastard, who supports the king and yet mocks all political and moral pretensions. Shakespeare depicts King John on a rapidly changing course, surrounded by many contrasting characters, so that the king''s unsteady mind seems no more than one small element in an almost comic jumble of events. -- The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature `The Oxford Shakespeare is an admirably scholarly edition, immaculately presented, offering close attention to possibilities of staging as well as meaning.'' Dr D. Sedge, Exeter University `This edition offers the most substantial and one of the most penetrating discussions of the play to date. A remarkable scholarly achievement.'' Dr Rene J.A. Weis, Department of English, University College, London `a most impressive and illuminating edition'' R. N. Alexander, Queen Mary Westfield, London `The major strength of Professor Braunmuller''s edition is its introduction. He offers a sane review of such difficult questions as the date of the play, and such controversial ones as its relation to ''The Troublesome Reign''. The evidence is marshalled in

Se trata de una de las obras más populares del autor inglés y, junto a Hamlet y Macbeth, la que más veces ha sido representada. Aunque la historia forma parte de una larga tradición de romances trágicos que se remontan a la antiguedad, el argumento esta basado en la traduccion inglesa (The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet, 1562) de un cuento italiano de Mateo Bandello, realizada por Arthur Brooke.

It is the second of Shakespeares tetralogy that deals with the successive reigns of Richard II, Henry IV (2 plays), and Henry V. Henry IV, Part 1 depicts a span of history that begins with Hotspurs battle at Homildon against the Douglas late in 1402 and ends with the defeat of the rebels at Shrewsbury in the middle of 1403. From the start it has been an extremely popular play both with the public and the critics.Henry IV, Part 2 is a history play by William Shakespeare, believed written between 1596 and 1599. It is the third part of a tetralogy, preceded by Richard II and Henry IV, Part 1 and succeeded by Henry V.

The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eighth is a history play by William Shakespeare, based on the life of Henry VIII of England. An alternative title, All is True, is recorded in contemporary documents, the title Henry VIII not appearing until the plays publication in the First Folio of 1623. Stylistic evidence indicates that the play was written by Shakespeare in collaboration with, or revised by, his successor, John Fletcher. It is also somewhat characteristic of the late romances in its structure.
