The Taming of the Shrew By William Shakespeare, Editorial Oneness (Edited by)

Romeo und Julia, Hamlet und Macbeth - die drei wohl ber hmtesten Shakespeare-Trag dien in einem BandWilliam Shakespeare gilt als der bedeutendste Dramatiker der Weltliteratur. Nach Charles Baudelaire ist er auch der leidenschaftlichste aller Dichter. Denn kein anderer als Shakespeare vermochte solch eine F lle an authentischen Charakterzeichnungen und zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen so sprachgewaltig auf der B hne darzustellen. Weil er den Menschen mit all seinen Leidenschaften in den Mittelpunkt seiner Werke stellte, erfreuen sich seine Dramen auch heute noch gro er Beliebtheit und sind aus einer modernen Perspektive heraus anzusehen oder nachzulesen. Von seiner Meisterschaft in Dicht- und Dramenkunst zeugen nicht zuletzt die drei herausragenden Trag dien in diesem Band.

Shakespeare’s Sonnets are among the most lyrical and moving pieces of poetry in any language, abounding with examples of his genius for wordplay, rhythm and metaphor and dealing with the eternal themes of love, memory, beauty and the ravishes of time. First published in 1609, after Shakespeare had written many of his most famous works, the Sonnets have been the subject of literary curiosity ever since, mainly concerning the identity of the two addressees, ‘Mr W. H.’ and the ‘Dark Lady’, and the light they could shine on Shakespeare’s life. This collection constitutes one of English literature’s most profound poetic meditations on life and love, and is a vital complement to the plays, offering clues to Shakespeare’s own biography. Presented here in an edition that makes them accessible to twentieth-century readers, these poems are worth returning to again and again.
