William Shakespeare

Giorgio Melchiori

Edward III is a major addition to the Shakespearean canon, and is published here for the first time in an authoritative edition of Shakespeare's works. Presenting this fully-annotated, modern-spelling text of Edward III, Giorgio Melchiori does not claim that Shakespeare is the sole author, but author of a significant part of the play, the extent of which is discussed in detail. The introduction explores the historical background and the genesis of the play in the context of contemporary theatrical practice and of Shakespeare's own early cycle of history plays. It stresses the original ideological stance and the theatrical qualities of the play as a whole. The commentary examines in depth the play's linguistic and poetical features, while an extensive appendix on the use of sources explains the stages of its composition.

The papers collected in this volume set out to present some significant Italian contributions to Shakespeare studies that, scattered through a number of publications not available outside Italy, might have escaped the attention they deserve. They are representative, though by no means exhaustively, of approaches to Shakespeare and his contemporaries in Italy, and may convey a sense of the vitality and extreme variety of critical and scholarly attitudes in this field.

Italian Studies in Shakespeare and His Contemporaries

The Merry Wives Of Windsor, Shakespeare's only thoroughly English comedy, created an archetypal literary figure in the shape of the devious, irrepressible John Falstaff. This stimulating new edition celebrates the play as a joyous exploration of language, but also places elements of its plot firmly in a continental, specifically Italian, tradition of romantic comedy. It draws out the complexities of Merry Wives as a multi-plot play, and takes a fresh and challenging look at both textual and dating issues. The play's extensive performance history, both dramatic and operatic, is fully explored and discussed.

Ulises es la epopeya de dos razas (Israel-Irlanda) y al mismo tiempo el ciclo del cuerpo humano y también una pequeña historia de una jornada (vida). La figura de Ulises me ha fascinado siempre desde niño. Comencé a escribir un relato para Dublineses hace quince años pero lo dejé. Hace siete años que trabajo en este libro: ¡caray! También es una especie de enciclopedia. Mi intención no es sólo la de presentar el mito sub specie temporis nostris, sino también que cada aventura (es decir, cada hora, cada órgano, cada arte conectados y fundidos en el esquema somático del conjunto) condicione o, mejor dicho, cree su propia técnica. Cada aventura es, por decirlo así, una persona, si bien compuesta de personas: como cuenta el de Aquino de los ejércitos angélicos. En Joyce: el oficio de escribir, Melchiori hace un análisis de la trayectoria del escritor irlandés desde sus primeros escritos hasta Finnegans Wake, cuyo análisis detenido cierra el libro. Melchiori es un gran erudito y una gran escritor, capaz de poner todo su saber a disposición de la interpretación, y de hacer con ésta una verdadera fiesta del lenguaje. Joyce: el oficio de escribir ha sido traducido por Juan Antonio Méndez con escrúpulo y con brillantez, poniendo al día las referencias bibliográficas y ofreciendo un notable acopio documental.
