King Lear - William Shakespeare - Bog

af William Shakespeare
King Lear af William Shakespeare
Bag om King Lear

Shakespeare's King Lear challenges us with the magnitude, intensity, and sheer duration of the pain that it represents. Its figures harden their hearts, engage in violence, or try to alleviate the suffering of others. Lear himself rages until his sanity cracks. What, then, keeps bringing us back to King Lear? For all the force of its language, King Lear is almost equally powerful when translated, suggesting that it is the story, in large part, that draws us to the play. The play tells us about families struggling between greed and cruelty, on the one hand, and support and consolation, on the other. Emotions are extreme, magnified to gigantic proportions. We also see old age portrayed in all its vulnerability, pride, and, perhaps, wisdom-one reason this most devastating of Shakespeare's tragedies is also perhaps his most moving.

Bag om William Shakespeare

Vis alle bøger af William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare var en berømt engelsk digter, skuespiller og dramatiker født i 1564 i Stratford-upon-Avon. Shakespeare var forfatteren under den elizabethanske og jakobeanske tidsalder af britisk teater, hvor han skrev produktivt. Hans klassiske digte forbliver også populære i dag. Shakespeare har tilsammen 38 skuespil, 2 fortællende digte, 154 sonetter og en række andre digte. Hans originale manuskripter af skuespillene eksisterer ikke, men takket være en gruppe skuespillere fra Shakespeares kompagni, har vi halvdelen af stykkerne. Alle hans skrifter er samlet i forskellige iterationer af “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare”. Hans sonetter er udgivet af Thomas Thorpe i 1609 og efterfølges af det lange digt “A Lover’s Complaint”, som udkom på samme tid. Seks af hans yderligere populære sonetter optræder i Shakespeares skuespil: “Romeo og Julie”, “Henry V” og “Love’s Labour's Lost”. Den første udgivne værk af Shakespeare var, “Venus og Adonis”...
