The Two Noble Kinsmen

Beschreibung

The Two Noble Kinsmen is Shakespeare¿s final play written before his death in 1616. He collaborated on it with John Fletcher; later, Fletcher took over as playwright for the King¿s Men. The plot derives from ¿The Knight¿s Tale¿ in Chaucer¿s Canterbury Tales. Thebes and Athens are at war. The tyrant Creon of Thebes commands Arcite and Palamon to fight for him. After a battle against Theseus, they end up captured and imprisoned. From their cell window, they see a beautiful woman named Emilia. Arcite and Palamon¿s friendship turns into rivalry when they challenge each other to a fight to the death¿with the victor claiming Emilia. This Standard Ebooks edition is based on the 1894 Royal Shakespeare edition.

Autor

William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 ¿ 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
