Shakespeares Lucrece: Being a Reproduction in Facsimile of the First Edition, 1594, From the Copy in the Malone Collection in the Bodleian Library (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This seminal piece in Western literary history retells one of the most well-known tragic tales of ancient Rome through stunning and evocative verse. First published in 1594 and widely read for well over 400 years, the author dramatizes a violent incident in Roman history from the viewpoint of the victim, a virtuous and noblewoman. In doing so, the author explores a range of universal and timeless themes that continue to resonate with readers today—chastity, duty, love, loss, shame, and desire. More than a tragedy, the story is a sharp critique of Roman culture and the role of women within it. Its insights and commentary on societal norms continue to offer readers a profound and moving experience.
