His extraordinarily gory and spectacularly violent revenge tragedy, William Shakespeare\'s Titus Andronicus is edited by Sonia Massai, with an introduction by Jacques Berthoud in Penguin Shakespeare. \'Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand\' Rome is in turmoil. With the Emperor dead, his two sons, Saturninus and Bassianus, quarrel over who should succeed him; but neither are as popular as the general Titus Andronicus, returned to Rome victorious after a ten-year campaign, with Tamora, Queen of the Goths, and her three sons as his prisoners. Eschewing the throne, he endorses Saturninus as successor, and sacrifices the Queen\'s son Alarbus in memory of his own, lost in the war. But when the new emperor spurns Titus\'s amity and chooses Tamora for his wife, she quickly begins to plot a murderous revenge of barely conceivable cruelty.
Klappentext:
\'This is tragedy naked, godless and unredeemed\' Kenneth Tynan
An embittered Roman general returns from war, having captured the Queen of the Goths and her three sons. Sacrificing the eldest in memory of his own sons killed in battle, he provokes the queen\'s unending hatred. And when she gains power by her marriage to the new emperor of Rome, she quickly begins to plot a murderous revenge of barely conceivable cruelty, in Shakespeare\'s first and most savagely bloody tragedy.
