在线阅读本书 Book Description Magic, love spells, and an enchanted wood provide the materials for one of Shakespeare’s most delightful comedies. When four young lovers, fleeing the Athenian law and their own mismatched rivalries, take to the forest of Athens, their lives become entangled with a feud between the King and Queen of the Fairies. Some Athenian tradesmen, rehearsing a play for the forthcoming wedding of Duke Theseus and his bride, Hippolyta, unintentionally add to the hilarity. The result is a marvelous mix-up of desire and enchantment, merriment and farce, all touched by Shakespeare’s inimitable vision of the intriguing relationship between art and life, dreams and the waking world.

THE original Arden Macbeth,edited by Henry Cuningham,firstappeared in 1912.The present edition owes much to its predecessor,many of the notes being used with little or no change;butthere are substantial alterations.The introduction is new;the text(for which Mr Cuningham was not responsible) has been revised,and several hundred small alterations have been made in it--mostof them consisting of a return to the First Folio;nearly all the notescontain alterations,and many are entirely new;and the appendicesare new.There are,in fact,so many alterations that it was notpossible to print from the old stereos. 阿登版莎士比亚问世至今已有100多年历史了。第一版阿登莎士比亚系列中最早的一册是爱德华道顿主编的《哈姆雷特》，出版于1890年。自此，阿登版莎士比亚得到国际认可和尊荣。如今，它被公认为最出色的莎剧版本。易读可靠的剧文，完整详尽的评注，内容丰富的导言使其深受专家学者、学生、演员及大众读者的好评。

'By far the best edition of King Lear - in respect of both textual and other matters - that we now have.'John Lyon, English Language Notes'This volume is a treasure-trove of precise information and stimulating comments on practically every aspect of the Lear-universe. I know of no other edition which I would recommend with such confidence: to students, professional colleagues and also the 'educated public'.'Dieter Mehl, Shakespeare Jahrbuch, vol 134

John Dover Wilson's New Shakespeare, published between 1921 and 1966, became the classic Cambridge edition of Shakespeare's plays and poems until the 1980s. The series, long since out-of-print, is now reissued. Each work contains a lengthy and lively introduction, main text, and substantial notes and glossary.

据英国女编剧、莎剧研究专家宝琳·基尔南（Pauline Kiernan）在她的新著《咸湿莎士比亚》（Filthy shakespeare，2006）中统计，莎士比亚作品中涉及女性身体私处的双关词汇短语概有180种以上，包括“玫瑰”“指环”、“花园”、“鸟窝”、“水井”、“O”和“ pain”（西班牙）等等让人摸得着头脑和根本摸不着头脑的各种说法。事关男性“阿物”的莎士比亚专用名词更是多达200个以上。此外另有700多种涉及其它淫秽含义的双关词句。要破解这些密码需要有极其广泛的知识面。比如《罗密欧与朱丽叶》第二幕第一场中，茂丘西奥（莎士比亚曾暗示他的"同志"倾向）那段著名的台词，台词提及"罗萨琳"（罗密欧的前情人），我们的中文译者把他弄成一段文艺青年式的呓语："爱情如果是盲目的，就射不中靶。此刻他该坐在枇杷树下了，希望他的情人就是他口中的枇杷。--啊，罗密欧，但愿，但愿她真的成了你到口的枇杷！" 但实际上这里却是一段十足放荡的淫秽玩笑，版本校勘者发现"etcaetera"（etcetera，及其它等等）原来是一个被替换的词（用这种牛头不对马嘴的词来替换，改动者如果不是本身文字功夫拙劣，一定是个幽默的人）。更早先的剧本稿显示这里原先是另外一个词组--openarse，"openarse"是一个俚俗的叫法，它指的是一种水果--欧楂果，也即诗句前面提到的"medlar"，莎士比亚显然双关地在使用这个词组，"arse"的意思是"屁股"，由于这个双关语把本该隐藏的意思表露在外（欧楂果本身就是因为形状像一个屁股才被说成"openarse"），所以剧本编订者忍无可忍，索性给它来个"及其它"。"Poperin"是对"poperinghe"（比利时一城镇的古名）的故意缩写，那地方盛产一种梨子，据说形状颇有几分像男性的那个"阿物"（尤其在某种特殊状态下的），于是"Poperinpear"（Poperin的梨子）的意思恰好对应着前面的"openarse"，不仅如此，"popp'rin'pear"的读音如果被某个心领神会的演员说出来，几乎可以跟"popinher"（猛然放进她）差不多。到这里，读者再回过头去阅读整段台词，意思昭然若揭：爱情如果盲目，就射不中靶（读者对于"靶"这个词最好具有更多一点想象力），此刻他该坐在欧楂树下，希望他的情妇就是那种水果--她们把那叫做"medlars"（欧楂果），而他们暗自好笑。罗密欧啊，但愿她是，O（"O"这个字母当然也是双关的），但愿她是"openarse"（欧楂果及其它），而你是"popp'rin'pear"(比利时的那个进口梨子)。

In a period of ten years, Shakespeare wrote a series of tragedies that established him, by universal consent, in the front rank of the world?s dramatists. Critics have praised either Hamlet or King Lear as the greatest of these; Ernst Honigmann, in the most significant edition of the play for a generation, asks: why not Othello? The third of the mature tragedies, it contains, as Honigmann persuasively demonstrates, perhaps the best plot, two of Shakespeare?s most original characters, the most powerful scene in any of the plays and poetry second to none. Honigmann?s cogent and closely argued introduction outlines the reasons both for a reluctance to recognize the greatness of Othello and for the case against the play. This edition sheds new light on the text of the play as we have come to know it, and on our knowledge of its early history. Honigmann examines the major critical issues, the play in performance and the relationship between reading it and seeing it. He also explores topics such as its date, sources and the conundrum of ?double time?. 'Honigmann's extensive knowledge illuminates this play at every turn, making this the best edition of Othello now available.' Brian Vickers, Review of English Studies

This edition of one of Shakespeare's best known and most frequently performed plays argues for Julius Caesar as a new kind of political play, a radical departure from contemporary practice, combining fast action and immediacy with compelling rhetorical language, and finding a clear context for its study of tyranny in the last decade of the reign of Elizabeth 1. The richly experimental verse and the complex structure of the play are analysed in depth, and a strong case is made for this to be the first play to be performed at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.'Daniell's edition is a hefty piece of serious scholarship that makes a genuine contribution.'Eric Rasmussen, University of Nevada at Reno, Shakespeare Survey'This is a stimulating new look at a play which is too often exhibited in a critical museum.' Paul Dean, English Studies

The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series, with Romeo and Juliet, Henry V and The Merchant of Venice as its inaugural volumes, presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. Its lyricism, comedy (both broad and subtle) and magical transformations have long made A Midsummer Night's Dream one of the most popular of Shakespeare's works. The supernatural and the mundane, the illusory and the substantial, are all shimmeringly blended. Love is treated as tragic, poignant, absurd and farcical. 'Lord, what fools these mortals be!', jeers Robin Goodfellow; but the joke may be on him and on his master Oberon when Bottom the weaver, his head transformed into that of an ass, is embraced by the voluptuously amorous Titania. Recent stage-productions of A Midsummer Night's Dream have emphasised the enchanting, spectacular, ambiguous and erotically joyous aspects of this magical drama which culminates in a multiple celebration of marriage.

The text is based on the Oxford Edition, which brings readers closer to Shakespeare's plays as they were first acted than was ever before possible. This Second Edition introduces new scholarship and editorial features that invite readers afresh to Shakespeare's plays and poems. Stephen Greenblatt's dazzling introduction, updated for this edition, creates a window into the culture of early modern England; Shakespeare's life in the theater; and the businesses of printing, publishing, and textual editing. The works themselves are enhanced with lively introductions, also updated, as well as ample glosses, annotations, a textual note, and new annotated bibliographies and filmographies. Andrew Gurr's essay, "The Shakespearean Stage"; a new timeline; new maps; a glossary of theater and printing terms; contextual documents; and redesigned genealogies provide additional help for readers.

The core of the ground-breaking, three text edition, this self-contained, free-standing volume gives readers the Second Quarto text (1604-5) and includes in its Introduction, notes and Appendices all the reader might expect to find in any standard Arden edition. As well as a full, illustrated Introduction to the play's historical, cultural and performance contexts and a thorough survey of critical approaches to the play, an appendix contains the additional passages found only in the 1623 text."The new Arden Hamlet is a pathbreaking edition, one that promises to change irrevocably our understanding of Shakespeare's greatest play."- Professor James Shapiro, author of 1599: A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare'Hamlet's latest editors have undertaken a heroic task with great skill and thoroughnesss.' - Stanley Wells, The Observer"(The) new Arden Hamlet is quite simply the most comprehensive edition of the play currently available, a status I suspect it will enjoy for many years to come" - The British Theatre Guide"Stunning! There is absolutely no doubt about this being the text to buy if you are studying the play at A Level. And the same stands for those students who will be studying the play at university. This critical edition gives the reader the Second Quarto Text (1604-1605), annotated with intelligence and care, a wealth of historical and cultural references and a survey of different critical approaches to the play."- The Use of English, The English Association

"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation."

Each volume features: * Authoritative, reliable texts * High quality introductions and notes * New, more readable trade trim size * An essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts
