Produktbeschreibung
Timon, a fabulously rich Athenian, is the perfect friend generous to all and eager to help those in a bind. He spends lavishly and fulfills every request for favors. Idealizing friendship, and believing his friends to be sincere and true, he is sure that they would do the same for him. Yet, when his coffers are empty, so are his friendships, and no one is willing to help him out, each finding an excuse to turn his back. Angered, and thoroughly disillusioned he withdraws from Athens into the wilderness. From caring for all he now spends his days bitterly denouncing mankind. Timon is an intriguing character, possessed of intensity both in love and in rage. One of Shakespeare's lesser-known plays it is believed by scholars to be incomplete, or a collaboration with Thomas Middleton.
Autorenporträt
Carl D. Atkins has studied Shakespeare for decades. In addition to his variorum edition of The Sonnets (only the fourth variorum edition since The Sonnets were printed in 1609) he has published two articles on The Sonnets and one on Measure for Measure, all in the respected journal, Studies in Philology. Dr. Atkins has made a complete metrical analysis of all 154 poems, which serves as an excellent companion to Shakespeare's Sonnets Among His Private Friends. It is available gratis at: www.amonghisprivatefriends.com. Dr. Atkins is a physician. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He lives with his wife in New York. Review of Shakespeare's Sonnets: With Three Hundred Years of Commentary: "...Atkins also offers an insightful running commentary on the metrical features of the individual poems, making this edition stand out even further from all other recent editions. Including a fine bibliography, a general index, and three appendixes, this lucid, well-researched edition is the product of many years of labor and love; it will be an indispensable work for those interested in Shakespeare's sonnets."
