Hamlet  Othello  Macbeth  and King Lear are each so singular an achievement that any rereading of them reinforces the awe and almost idolatrous worship that this most uncanny of the worlds great writers invariably inspires. In these four plays  Shakespeare engages the problem that is central to tragedy and crucial to any human communitythe problem of violence and revengeon an unprecedented scale. No other literary texts have been more instrumental in deepening our knowledge of ourselves as individuals and as a civilization.  This authoritative edition of the plays is supplemented with footnotes  bibliographies  a detailed chronology of Shakespeares life and times  and a substantial introduction in which Tony Tanner discusses each play individually while setting each in context.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665843904565,"sku":"ByrdShop_0679417427","price":37.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780679417422.jpg?v=1782409823","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/tragedies-volume-1-everymans-library-9780679417422","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
