The series features line-by-line commentaries, textual notes on the plays and poems and an extensive Introduction. Since the late twentieth century, when scholarly attention began to focus on sexuality, collaboration and Shakespeare's late plays, The Two Noble Kinsmen has become an essential script. Turner and Tatspaugh's edition presents a strong case for taking the play more seriously now than ever before. A lively introduction discusses Shakespeare's craftsmanship in adapting a medieval tale for the Jacobean stage, the extent of co-authorship with John Fletcher, the rhetorical complexity of Shakespeare's late style, the themes of sexuality and friendship, and contemporary critical responses to the play. The edition demonstrates the theatrical vitality of The Two Noble Kinsmen and confirms it as a play for today.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: authorship\u003cbr\u003e Date\u003cbr\u003e Sources\u003cbr\u003e Craftsmanship\u003cbr\u003e Critical reception\u003cbr\u003e Shakespeare's late style\u003cbr\u003e The Two Noble Kinsmen in performance\u003cbr\u003e Note on text\u003cbr\u003e List of characters\u003cbr\u003e The play\u003cbr\u003e Supplementary notes\u003cbr\u003e Textual analysis\u003cbr\u003e Appendix: The Two Noble Kinsmen: a performance chronology\u003cbr\u003e Reading list.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: plays \u0026amp; playwrights [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: plays \u0026amp; playwrights\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20plays%20\u0026amp;%20playwrights%20%5BDSG%5D%22\"\u003eDSG\u003c\/a\u003e], Shakespeare plays [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Shakespeare plays\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Shakespeare%20plays%20%5BDDS%5D%22\"\u003eDDS\u003c\/a\u003e], Literature \u0026amp; literary studies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literature \u0026amp; literary studies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literature%20\u0026amp;%20literary%20studies%20%5BD%5D%22\"\u003eD\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46001648304408,"sku":"9780521686990","price":11.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521686990i_7edbdd00-56c9-43f8-911a-d3092fad89ff.jpg?v=1691380046","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-two-noble-kinsmen-paperback-9780521686990","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
