Description

The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of new critical, stage and screen interpretations. For this second edition of King Richard III, Janis Lull has added a new section to her introduction, in which she focuses on contemporary productions of the play as well as recent scholarly criticism. Lull emphasises the importance of women's roles in this popular drama but shows how the text has frequently been cut, rewritten and reshaped by directors and actors to enhance the role of Richard, often at the expense of female characters. The special relationship between King Richard III and Macbeth is also explored while the notes detail the play's language in terms that are easily accessible to contemporary readers.

random thoughts "A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!" - Immer lustig, berühmte Shakespeare-Quotes im Kontext zu finden. Soviel Mord und Totschlag, es ist echt schwer den Überblick zu behalten über die ganzen Charaktere, die Richard ermordet. Hilfreich, dass am Ende von allen die Geister auftauchen und ihm ein herzliches DESPAIR AND DIE wünschen. Pretty badass/goosebump-y Das schöne an Shakespeare ist doch: egal ob die Handlung gut ist, oder Sinn macht, oder nachvollziehbar ist, es ist auf dem Level der Sprache einfach eine Freude, seine Worte zu lesen. Und soviel brennt sich einem einfach ins Gehirn/Herz/Seele. Zwar nicht aus diesem Stück, aber ca. alle paar Wochen habe ich die Worte aus Macbeth im Ohr (es hilft natürlich, wenn man zusätzlich zum schriftlichen das Bild von Denzel vor dem Auge hat, wie er sie in The Tragedy of Macbeth delivered: "Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing." I mean goddamn. Tagline für den Plot (und für alle Geschichten über Könige, Prinzen, Adlige, Kriege und alles andere) sollte der Behind the Bastards Slogan sein:
