    The First Folio, published in 1623 by Shakespeare's colleagues, was the first complete and faithful publication of plays by the Bard. As the pages were printed, they were checked for errors, and if any were found, they were corrected. But the pages with errors were not thrown away; instead, they were kept and used, which means that no volumes of the First Folio are perfect, and no two of them are identical.In the 1960s, Charlton Hinman invented his famous collator to compare the pages of fifty-five First Folio volumes at the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C. In 1968 he published the Norton Facsimile, which included photographs of all the corrected pages he had identified. But many additional copies of the First Folio were not available to Hinman; today, some can even be found online. Might it be possible to identify the corrections in those copies and produce an even more accurate version of the plays? The scholarly team at PlayShakespeare.com has done exactly that, making this the most faithful transcription of the First Folio ever published. It includes:All of the corrected readings identified by Charlton Hinman in the Norton Facsimile.All of the corrected readings identified in copies of the First Folio not available to Hinman.The original breaks in the players' lines.The original spellings, down to the character.Special typographical characters (such as the long s).Historical ligatures (such as those for ct and AE).This new edition also emulates the look of the original text, using the beautiful Fell Types digitally reproduced by Igino Marini. Although not identical to the fonts used in the original, they are very close; the Fell Types were commissioned by Oxford Bishop John Fell in about 1672, nearly fifty years after the First Folio was printed but still very much in the style of type used in Shakespeare's time.If you've always wanted to read Shakespeare's plays as they were originally published but couldn't get past the faded and uneven page scans of the photographic facsimiles, this is the edition for you.

    " Titus Andronicus (ou La Très Lamentable Tragédie romaine de Titus Andronicus, en anglais The Most Lamentable Romaine Tragedy of Titus Andronicus) est peut-être la première tragédie de William Shakespeare, et certainement la plus sanglante. Elle décrit un cycle de vengeances qui oppose Titus, général romain imaginaire, à son ennemie Tamora, reine des Goths. À partir du xviiie siècle, cette pièce a été un peu délaissée. En effet à l'instar de T. S. Eliot, nombreux étaient ceux qui jugeaient que « Titus Andronicus est une des pièces les plus stupides que l'on ait jamais écrites » (Selected Essays, 1917-1932). Cette aversion se fondait sur l'horreur de l'horreur donc, et rejet d'un supposé Grand Guignol."

    Jules César (Julius Caesar) est une tragédie de William Shakespeare, probablement écrite en 1599 et publiée pour la première fois en 1623. Montée pour l'ouverture du Globe Theatre à Londres, elle relate la conspiration contre Jules César, son assassinat et ses conséquences. Cette pièce relation le complot et l'assassinat de Jules César, et ses conséquences. Le dramaturge s'est largement inspiré de Plutarque et d'Appien, mais a su donner à Brutus, héros de la pièce bien plus que Jules César, qui disparaît à l'acte III, une stature qui annonce les héros tragiques de la maturité.La pièce s'ouvre avec deux tribuns, Flavius et Murellus, découvrant que le peuple de Rome célèbre le retour victorieux de Jules César, vainqueur de la Guerre civile contre Pompée. Les deux tribuns blâment la versatilité du peuple, qui célébrait Pompée lorsqu'il se trouvait à la place de son rival. Ils tentent de disperser la foule et se donnent pour mission de dépouiller les statues de leurs décorations. Durant la fête de Lupercale, César défile en triomphe dans Rome ; un devin l'avertit contre le danger qui le menace le jour des Ides de Mars, mais César l'ignore. Par ailleurs Cassius tente de convaincre Brutus de se joindre à sa conspiration pour renverser César. Brutus hésite, tiraillé entre son affection pour César et la crainte que celui-ci abuse de son pouvoir, remettant en cause la liberté du peuple romain. Casca rejoint les deux hommes et relate un incident survenu durant le défilé : Marc Antoine a offert à trois reprises une couronne à César, celui-ci la refusant à chaque fois, manifestement à contre-c¿ur, suscitant les acclamations du peuple. César est si irrité par cet incident qu'il tombe évanoui. Par ailleurs, Casca révèle que Flavius et Murellus ont été réduits au silence pour avoir dépouillé les statues de leurs ornements. Au cours d'un monologue, Cassius révèle son projet de forger des fausses lettres du soutien du peuple romain envers Brutus pour l'inciter à rejoindre la conspiration. Cette même nuit, Casca rencontre Cicéron et lui relate différents événements surnaturels survenus dans la Cité. Les différents conspirateurs se rencontrent et réaffirment leur détermination face au projet du Sénat d'instituer César roi.

    In Othello, Shakespeare creates a powerful drama of a marriage that begins with fascination (between the exotic Moor Othello and the Venetian lady Desdemona), with elopement, and with intense mutual devotion and that ends precipitately with jealous rage and violent deaths. He sets this story in the romantic world of the Mediterranean, moving the action from Venice to the island of Cyprus and giving it an even more exotic coloring with stories of Othello's African past. Shakespeare builds so many differences into his hero and heroine-differences of race, of age, of cultural background-that one should not, perhaps, be surprised that the marriage ends disastrously. But most people who see or read the play feel that the love that the play presents between Othello and Desdemona is so strong that it would have overcome all these differences were it not for the words and actions of Othello's standard-bearer, Iago, who hates Othello and sets out to destroy him by destroying his love for Desdemona. As Othello succumbs to Iago's insinuations that Desdemona is unfaithful, fascination-which dominates the early acts of the play-turns to horror, especially for the audience. We are confronted by spectacles of a generous and trusting Othello in the grip of Iago's schemes; of an innocent Desdemona, who has given herself up entirely to her love for Othello only to be subjected to his horrifying verbal and physical assaults, the outcome of Othello's mistaken convictions about her faithlessness.

    Based on Plutarch's account of the lives of Brutus, Julius Caesar, and Mark Antony, Julius Caesar was the first of Shakespeare's Roman history plays. Presented for the first time in 1599, the play reveals the great dramatist's consummate ability to explore and express the most profound human emotions and instincts. So clearly and urgently does it impact its insights into history and human behavior, Julius Caesar is traditionally among the first of Shakespeare's plays to be studied at the secondary-school level.In addition to its compelling insights into the human condition, Julius Caesar is also superb drama, as Brutus, Cassius, and the other conspirators hatch a plot to overthrow Caesar, dictator of Rome. After Caesar is assassinated, Mark Antony cleverly turns the crowd against the conspirators in one of the most famous speeches in literature. In the civil war that follows, the forces of Mark Antony and Octavius Caesar eventually win out over the armies of Cassius and Brutus. Humiliated and desperate, both conspirators choose to end their lives. These tragic events unfold in a riveting dramatic spectacle that also raises profound questions about power, government, ethics, and loyalty.Now this great tragedy is available in this inexpensive edition, complete and unabridged.

    Romeo- Auf meine Ehre, das will ich: Laß mich dieses Gesicht in der Nähe besehen¿Mercutio's Vetter! der edle Graf Paris! was sagte mir mein Diener unterwegs, indem meine im Sturm herumgewälzte Seele nicht darauf Acht gab, was er sagte¿Mich däucht, er erzählte mir, Paris habe Julietten heurathen sollen. Sagte er das nicht? oder träumte mir's nur? Oder bin ich unsinnig, daß ich mir einbilde es sey so, weil ich ihn so zärtlich von Julietten reden hörte?¿O gieb mir deine Hand, du, den das Schiksal in mein Unglük verflochten hat, ich will dir ein beneidenswürdiges Grab gewähren¿Ein Grab? O nein, eine Glorie, ermorderter Jüngling; denn Juliette ligt hier, und ihre Schönheit erfüllt diese grauenvolle Gruft mit Licht und Herrlichkeit; Todter, lige du hier, von einem Todten begraben.(Er legt ihn in die Gruft.)Wie oft ist es schon begegnet, daß Sterbende kurz vor ihrem lezten Augenblik noch aufgeräumt gewesen sind¿O gönne mir noch einen solchen Augenblik!¿Meine Geliebte, mein Weib, der Tod, der den Honig deines Athems aufgesogen, hat noch keine Gewalt über deine Schönheit gehabt; du bist nicht besiegt; noch schwebt die purpurne Fahne der Schönheit auf deinen Lippen und Wangen, und die blasse Flagge des Todes ist hier noch nicht aufgestekt¿Tybalt, ligst du hier in deinem blutigen Leichen-Tuch? O was kan ich mehr thun, wie kan ich dich besser rächen, als eben diese Hand, die dein jugendliches Leben geendigt hat, gegen deinen Mörder zu gebrauchen? Vergieb mir, theurer Vetter!¿Ach! liebste Juliette, warum bist du noch so schön? Soll ich glauben, der unwesentliche Tod sey in dich verliebt worden, und das dürre scheußliche Ungeheuer unterhalte dich hier im Dunkeln, um seine Liebste zu seyn? Aus Furcht es möchte so seyn, will ich immer bey dir bleiben, und von diesem Augenblik diesen Palast der düstern Nacht nimmermehr verlassen; hier, hier will ich bleiben, bey den Würmern, die deine Kammer- Mädchen sind; hier will ich eine immerwährende Ruhe finden, wenn ich das tyrannische Joch erboßter Sterne von diesem Lebens- überdrüssigen Fleisch abgeschüttelt habe¿Mein Auge, sieh' sie zum leztenmal an; umfanget sie zum leztenmal, meine Arme, und ihr, siegelt, o meine Lippen, mit dem lezten Kuß dem wuchernden Tod eine Verschreibung, die nie wieder abgelößt werden kan¿Diß, meine Liebe, trink ich dir zu!¿o ehrlicher Apotheker,

    THE MERCHANT OF VENICE:- is a play written by William Shakespeare. This comedy is believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598. In this 16th- century play, Antonio, a merchant in Venice, defaults on a substantial debt made by Shylock, a Jewish moneylender, who without mercy, demands a pound of his flesh. Shylock also wants to get even with Antonio for making anti-Semitic comments. Portia, now the wife of Antonio's friend, Bassanio, finally saves Antonio. Bassanio, the best friend of Antonio, is a spendthrift who wasted all of his money in order to be seen as a respectable man. He is determined to marry Portia, a wealthy and intelligent heiress of Belmont. In the ensuing scenes, Portia's speech about "the quality of mercy" plays an important part in the drama. Although the play's main goal is to show the conflict between the right to property and the right to life, it also explains the ensuing minor clash between a parent's will and a child's right to choose.
