Titus Andronicus: Revised Edition (The Arden Shakespeare Third Series)

What to say about Shakespeare that has not been said before? With eighty-three years on my back now, I have to confess that a few years ago I decided that I wouldn't die (if possible) without reading his work, although English is my second language. I have therefore, been buying the Arden Shakespeare, Third Series, and I can see why all superlatives are incapable of doing justice to the Bard. I am still plowing through the histories, the tragedies and the comedies. I will get to his sonnets, but I am not sure I will get to the Poems.

I just purchased the Kindle edition of this book. Although Jonathan Bate's introductions and notes are first rate, I am very disappointed that all of the pictures that would have been in the printed edition are missing from the Kindle edition, having been replaced with a grey box that says, "Image removed-rights not available." Part of the enjoyment of reading the introductions in the Arden Shakespeare series is seeing the pictures of famous productions of Shakespeare, and other illustrations that accompany the text. The missing pictures are the only thing that kept me from giving this book 5 stars!

My daughter Highschool wants her to make a children's book of the okay.... Is the teacher insane? Rape, mutilation and murder into a children's book?

Love this as it is really insightful

The book is exactly what I needed. The Arden Shakespeare series is wonderful! <3

Note on the Kindle version: all the photographs etc are missing, replaced by large grey boxes with the note "Image removed — rights not available".
