Titus Andronicus

Beschreibung

Titus Andronicus, a famous Roman general, has just returned to Rome after a war against the Goths. He brings with him five prisoners: Tamora, the Queen of the Goths, her three sons, and her lover Aaron the Moor. After losing two of his sons to the Goths, Titus kills Tamoräs eldest son as retribution, triggering a blood feud between the two families. Saturninus is elected as the new Emperor of Rome with the support of Titus Andronicus. He declares he will marry Titus¿s daughter Lavinia. Titus agrees, but she has already been promised to Bassianus, Saturninus¿s brother. A violent argument breaks out, resulting in Titus killing one of his sons and Tamora becoming the new empress. This Standard Ebooks edition is based on William George Clark and William Aldis Wright¿s 1887 Victoria edition, which is taken from the Globe 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.
