Thyestes

RenaissanceThis is an edition of an Elizabethan translation of Lucius Annaeus Seneca's play, Thyestes, written in Latin in Imperial Rome. Thus the play presented in this volume is not merely classical, but also one translated by an Elizabethan. One question that arises is how Seneca came to be of interest to the Elizabethans, another how we are to read the play as itself a Renaissance artefact, which has a good deal in common with important plays by artists like Shakespeare. In terms of their historical circumstances, their training and artistic structuring, as well as their concerns and 'world picture', Seneca and Shakespeare have many fundamental similarities

Wyatt: Collected poems

An edition offering correct and annotated transcripts of the primary sources containing Wyatt's and other early Tudor verse is badly needed; meanwhile it is hoped that the present volume will provide the general reader with as accurate a modernized text as can at this stage be constructed, and that the annotation will help him to understand and to enjoy Wyatt's poems, which are increasingly attracting attention for their intrinsic significance and appeal

The Honest Whore, Part 1

This is Part 1 of a two-part play.Editor's introduction: The original printed text of 2 The Honest Whore on which any modern edition is based offers few problems. In the case of 1 The Honest Whore, however, there are two significantly different texts, both issued in 1604, viz. the first quarto (Q1), ‘The Honest Whore ... [etc]’ and a later, significantly revised quarto (Q2), ‘The Converted Curtezan ... [etc]’. The nature, interrelationship, and authority of these two texts have been much discussed, and I shall deal with these matters in some detail.Australian Research CouncilEdited by Joost Daalder With contributions by Brett D.
