Descrizione

Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langj�igem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag etwas abgenutzt, sonst sehr guter Zustand / Dust jacket a little worn, otherwise very good condition. - Could Shakespeare really have written these plays? Why were they excluded from the First Folio of his collected works? As a companion to their award-winning RSC William Shakespeare: Complete Works, renowned scholars Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen, supported by a dynamic team of co-editors, now present William Shakespeare and Others: Collaborative Plays. This is the first edition for over a hundred years of the fascinatingly varied body of plays that has become known as �The Shakespeare Apocrypha�. Among the highlights are the whole text of Sir Thomas More, which includes the only scene from any play to survive in Shakespeare�s own handwriting; the history play Edward III, including a superb seduction scene by Shakespeare; and the domestic murder tragedy Arden of Faversham, in which Shakespeare�s hand has been detected by recent computer-assisted analysis. This is also the first ever Shakespeare edition to include the 1602 edition of Thomas Kyd�s pioneering The Spanish Tragedy, with �additions� that the latest research attributes to Shakespeare. A magisterial essay by Will Sharpe provides a comprehensive account of the Authorship and Attribution of each play. ISBN 9781137271440
