Introducing this edition, E.M. Waith provides a fresh view of the play in its historical context as well as an original discussion of the famous 'Peacham' drawing - the only surviving contemporary Shakespeare illustration. An illustrated account of performances leads to an assessment of the play's qualities in the light of its critical reception. The eighteenth-century version of the play's probable source is given in one of the appendices.

Work Description

Dismemberment, rape, cannibalism and murder make 'Titus Andronicus' Shakespeare's bloodiest tragedy. The boundless grief and savage justice of Titus explores the expression of tragic passion, the Senecan tradition, Roman history and government, the body and structures of interpretation.

Excerpts

[1.1] Flourish. Enter the Tribunes and Senators aloft; and then enter [below] SATURNINUS and his followers at one door, and BASSIANUS and his followers at the other, with drum and colours SATURNINUS Noble patricians, patrons of my right,
