Tragedies Volume 2

Volume 1 of the new Everyman Shakespeare, published in 1992, included the four major tragedies; "Hamlet", "King Lear", "Othello" and "Macbeth". Volume 2 completes the survey of Shakespeare's tragic output with "Romeo and Juliet", "Julius Caesar", "Antony and Cleopatra", "Coriolanus", "Troilus and Cressida" and "Titus Andronicus". The edited texts of the plays are supplemented with bibliographies, a chronology of Shakespeare's life and times, and an introduction in which Professor Tony Tanner examines Shakespeare's evolution as a tragedian while also providing detailed discussions of the individual plays. The two-volume edition of the tragedies will eventually form part of a complete Shakespeare (plays and poems) in eight volumes.
