Description: Folio Society - TITUS ANDRONICUS [Commentary Volume for Letterpress Edition] The Oxford University Press edition of the text of Titus Andronicus from their Oxford Shakespeare series was reproduced by the Folio Society in this special binding to accompany their Letterpress Shakespeare limited edition. The texts from this series have become a byword for accuracy and erudition, making them one of the most respected of all academic editions of Shakespeare. Shakespeare's first foray into the revenge tragedy. Its horrors are notorious, but its powerful poetry of grief is the work of a true tragic poet. Believed by many to be Shakespeare's earliest work, Titus Andronicus was probably written in the 1580s or early 90s. The play is Shakespeare's bloodiest, with rape, mutilation and 14 killings, nine of them on stage. Yet the violence and spectacle of the play never overshadows the verse, Shakespeare's command of language and his vivid characters provide a fascinating foretaste of the great tragedies.
