«Titus Andronicus» is the tragedy by William Shakespeare published by Wordsworth Editions Ltd in paperback (112 pages, in English).
Set in decadent imperial Rome, it tells the story of Titus Andronicus, a general who, after returning from war, becomes embroiled in a cycle of revenge involving human sacrifice, torture, rape, mutilation and murder. It was a successful play in its time and, after years of uneasy reception, has regained interest for its unflinching treatment of violence.
Part of the Wordsworth Classics collection, with complete, unabridged text. English edition published in 1996.
For students of English literature, Shakespeare enthusiasts and readers of classical theatre seeking a tragedy of great harshness.
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" or simply "the Bard". His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, 3 long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
