Produktbeschreibung
Shakespeare's Henriad - Complete Tetralogy presents a masterful exploration of political power, leadership, and human frailty through the lenses of tragedy, history, and comedy. This collection brings together the celebrated series known as the Henriad, including the plays that capture the tumultuous reign of Richard II through to Henry V. The anthology adeptly showcases Shakespeare's dynamic range, moving from the poetic introspection of monarchical downfall to the patriotic fervor of battlefields. While each play stands alone in its narrative strength, together they weave a complex tapestry that interrogates the nature of sovereignty and identity. The anthology is enriched further by the incisive commentary of William Hazlitt, a revered literary critic whose essays provide a profound interpretative frame for Shakespeare's monumental work. Hazlitt, a central figure of the English Romantic era, offers insights that align with both the Elizabethan context of Shakespeare and the subsequent philosophical discourse on individual and political rights. The combination of Shakespeare's dramatic genius and Hazlitt's critical acumen situates this collection at a unique intersection of theatrical and literary scholarship, nourishing readers with both classical narratives and romantic thought. This comprehensive edition invites readers to experience the multiple dimensions of Shakespeare's artistry. It offers a rare opportunity to engage with two historical voices-Shakespeare's complex characters and Hazlitt's reflective critiques-within a single volume, fostering a richer appreciation of classical literature. Recommended for students, scholars, and enthusiasts alike, the anthology stands as a testament to the enduring dialogues between text and interpretation, the past and its ongoing relevance.

Autorenporträt
William Shakespeare, undoubtedly one of the most influential literary figures in the Western canon, was an English playwright, poet, and actor, whose life spanned from 1564 to 1616. Frequently referred to as the Bard of Avon, Shakespeare's work includes 39 plays, 154 sonnets, and two long narrative poems. His body of work is divided into the genres of tragedy, comedy, and history, and it has been translated into every major language, ensuring his enduring global presence. Shakespeare's 'Henriad,' a term coined to describe his second historical tetralogy, includes 'Richard II,' 'Henry IV, Part 1,' 'Henry IV, Part 2,' and 'Henry V.' These plays explore themes of kingship, power, rebellion, and honor, and they showcase Shakespeare's profound understanding of the human condition, coupled with his unparalleled ability to express this through the poetic and dramatic potential of the English language. Shakespeare's influence extends beyond the literary; his plays have had a lasting impact on theatre and performance, and his innovative use of vocabulary and verse has significantly contributed to the development of modern English. His works continue to be studied, performed, and revered for their artistic merit and psychological depth. Shakespeare's legacy is a testament to his genius and to the enduring power of the written word.
