Book Overview
This volume of "The Dramatick Writings Of Will. Shakspere" presents two of Shakespeare's most powerful and enduring plays: "Timon of Athens" and "King Lear." These tragedies explore themes of betrayal, madness, and the corrupting influence of power. Edited with commentary by Samuel Johnson, George Steevens, and John Bell, this edition offers readers valuable insights into Shakespeare's language and dramatic artistry.
"Timon of Athens" tells the story of a wealthy Athenian nobleman who, after being betrayed by his false friends, becomes a misanthropic recluse. "King Lear" recounts the tragic downfall of a king who divides his kingdom among his daughters based on their flattery, leading to devastating consequences. This collection provides a rich reading experience for both scholars and general readers interested in exploring the depths of Shakespeare's genius.
