书籍简介

《约翰王》是英国剧作家威廉·莎士比亚创作的戏剧，是一部历史剧，首次出版于1623年。

该剧叙述了英国历史上不成功的约翰王一生的主要经历，如他与法国王室为争夺英国王位而进行的两次战争，他对王位合法继承人亚瑟的迫害，对教会的掠夺，以及与罗马教廷的冲突等。 该剧情节生动丰富，结构匠心独运。

“莎士比亚诸多版本中的金科玉律式的版本”。——著名莎士比亚专家、美国莎士比亚协会前任会长大卫·贝文顿（David Bevington）教授

《阿登版莎士比亚》所面对的读者，主要定位于学术界读者和普通读者（包括学者、大学生、演员、戏迷等）。

每部作品前都有长篇导读序文，详细介绍了莎士比亚作品的情节来源、剧本结构、戏剧语言、人物塑造、文体风格、文本沿革、时代背景、演出历史及综合性莎学名家的相关评论等。社会上一般的莎士比亚注释本多半比较简略，《阿登版莎士比亚》的特点是注释非常详细，这对于文学研究者、翻译者、英语学习者来说，无疑是当前最理想的版本。其次，系列丛书在注释方面有歧义者，往往是诸说并存的前提下，校订者同时客观地提出了本人的倾向性看法。

各书末尾有各类附录，往往与剧情原型相关，或与作品的形成有较为明显的渊源关系。这些资料都有可靠的来源，学术价值颇高。有不少书中还提供剧中格局乐谱，当时剧院的构成情况等内容。所以，本丛书可供欣赏、研究莎士比亚用，也具有深化英语学习的作用，还具有颇高的收藏价值。
