书籍简介

威廉-莎士比亚在他的第二轮历史剧中达到了他作为艺术家的辉煌的成熟度。这些剧目有精彩的战斗场面；有华丽的主要人物和次要人物；有关于野心、篡位、内疚和救赎的故事；有关于社会秩序的深刻思想，它们代表了伊丽莎白时代历史剧的全部光辉。由于《亨利四世》的一和二部分，我们的文学作品得到了恩惠--在不羁、夸夸其谈的骑士约翰-福斯塔夫爵士的形象中，有了舞台历史上伟大的喜剧创作。

本卷包含理查德二世、亨利四世一部分、亨利四世第二部分、亨利五世和亨利八世。这些文本由西尔凡-巴尼特(Sylvan Barnet)编辑，并辅以文本注释、书目、详细的莎士比亚生活和时代年表、兰开斯特家族和约克家族的有用家谱，以及一份实质性的导言，其中知名学者托尼-坦纳(Tony Tanner)单独讨论了每部剧作以及莎士比亚作品的背景。

William Shakespeare arrived at his splendid maturity as an artist in his second cycle of history plays. With their superb battle scenes; their magnificent major and minor characters; their stories of ambition, usurpation, guilt, and redemption; and their profound ideas about the social order, these plays represent the Elizabethan historical drama in its full glory. And thanks to parts one and two of Henry IV our literature is graced--in the figure of the dissolute and boastful knight Sir John Falstaff--with one of the greatest comic creations in the history of the stage.

This volume contains Richard II; Henry IV, Part One; Henry IV, Part Two; Henry V; and Henry VIII. The texts, authoritatively edited by Sylvan Barnet, are supplemented with textual notes, a bibliography, a detailed chronology of Shakespeare's life and times, a helpful family tree of the Houses of Lancaster and York, and a substantial introduction in which acclaimed scholar Tony Tanner discusses each play individually and in the context of Shakespeare's oeuvre.

作者简介

威廉-莎士比亚于1564年4月出生于埃文河畔斯特拉特福，传统上他的生日是在4月23日。从现存的文件中得知的他的生活事实并不多见。他是约翰-莎士比亚所生的八个孩子中的一个，约翰-莎士比亚是一个在其社区有一定地位的商人。威廉可能在斯特拉特福德的国王新学校上学，但他没有受过大学教育。1582年11月，18岁的他与大他8岁的安妮-海瑟薇结婚，当时她正怀着他们的一个孩子苏珊娜。她于1583年5月26日出生。1585年，一对双胞胎，男孩哈姆尼特（11岁时夭折）和女孩朱迪思出生。1592年，莎士比亚到伦敦当演员，并已作为剧作家而闻名。一个竞争对手的戏剧家罗伯特-格林称他为 "一只新来的乌鸦，用我们的羽毛来美化"。莎士比亚成为成功的表演团体--张伯伦勋爵的人（后来在詹姆斯一世时期被称为国王的人）的主要股东和剧作家。1599年，张伯伦的人在泰晤士河附近的南华克建造并占用了环球剧院。在这里，莎士比亚的许多戏剧都由他那个时代的演员表演，包括理查德-伯奇、威尔-肯普和罗伯特-阿敏。除了他的37部戏剧外，莎士比亚还参与了其他戏剧的创作，包括《托马斯-莫尔爵士》和《两个贵族》，他还写了一些诗，包括《维纳斯与阿多尼斯》和《卢克丽丝的强占》。他的154首十四行诗在1609年出版，可能没有得到他的授权。1612年，他放弃了在伦敦的住所，将越来越多的时间用于在斯特拉特福的退休生活，尽管他继续写《暴风雨》和《亨利七世》等剧本，直到1613年左右。他于1616年4月23日去世，被埋葬在斯特拉特福的圣三一教堂。他生前没有出版过剧本集，但在1623年，他的演艺公司的两名成员John Heminges和Henry Condell将现在称为一对开本的大集子放在一起。

William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564, and his birth is traditionally celebrated on April 23. The facts of his life, known from surviving documents, are sparse. He was one of eight children born to John Shakespeare, a merchant of some standing in his community. William probably went to the King's New School in Stratford, but he had no university education. In November 1582, at the age of eighteen, he married Anne Hathaway, eight years his senior, who was pregnant with their first child, Susanna. She was born on May 26, 1583. Twins, a boy, Hamnet ( who would die at age eleven), and a girl, Judith, were born in 1585. By 1592 Shakespeare had gone to London working as an actor and already known as a playwright. A rival dramatist, Robert Greene, referred to him as "an upstart crow, beautified with our feathers." Shakespeare became a principal shareholder and playwright of the successful acting troupe, the Lord Chamberlain's Men (later under James I, called the King' s Men). In 1599 the Lord Chamberlain's Men built and occupied the Globe Theater in Southwark near the Thames River. Here many of Shakespeare's plays were performed by the most famous actors of his time, including Richard Burbage, Will Kempe, and Robert Armin. In addition to his 37 plays, Shakespeare had a hand in others, including Sir Thomas More and The Two Noble Kinsmen, and he wrote poems, including Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece. His 154 sonnets were published, probably without his authorization, in 1609. In 1611 or 1612 he gave up his lodgings in London and devoted more and more time to retirement in Stratford, though he continued writing such plays as The Tempest and Henry VII until about 1613. He died on April 23 1616, and was buried in Holy Trinity Church, Stratford. No collected edition of his plays was published during his life-time, but in 1623 two members of his acting company, John Heminges and Henry Condell, put together the great collection now called the First Folio.
