Publisher's Synopsis
Shakespeare's Tragedies features all the scholarship and pedagogy of David Bevington's The Complete Works of Shakespeare in a genre-specific, paperback volume.
Pulled from Bevington's popular and authoritative hardcover The Complete Works of Shakespeare, 5e, Shakespeare's Tragedies and three other genre volumes-Shakespeare's Romances and Poems, Shakespeare's Comedies, and Shakespeare's Histories-are available on their own or packaged in customized bundles for use in specialized courses.
Shakespeare's Tragedies provides the same balanced editorial approach and proven apparatus that combine to make Bevington's Complete Works the most accessible collection available. A prestigious editorial board provides state-of-the-art scholarship and interpretative balance on each play. In-depth historical coverage helps students understand the cultural context behind each play, without dictating their reading of it. Extensive notes and glosses give students the support they need to understand Elizabethan language and idiomatic expressions.
