Timon of Athens, Paperback by Shakespeare, William; Middleton, Thomas; Dawson, Anthony B. (EDT); Minton, Gretchen E. (EDT), ISBN 1903436974, ISBN-13 9781903436974, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK Timon of Athens has struck many readers as rough and unpolished, perhaps even unfinished, though to others it has appeared as Shakespeare's most profound tragic allegory. The editors provide detailed annotation of the text and explore the wide range of critical and theatrical interpretations that the play has engendered. Tracing both its satirical and tragic strains, their introduction presents a perspective on the play's meanings that combines careful elucidation of historical context with analysis of its relevance to modern-day society. An extensive and well-illustrated account of the play's production history generates a rich sense of how the play can speak to different historical moments in specific and rewarding ways.
