  • Timon of Athens

    by William Shakespeare ...
    Series series Folger Shakespeare Library
    The real Timon of Athens lived there in the fifth century BCE, making him a contemporary of Socrates and Pericles.

  • Shakespeare and the Second World War

  • Shakespeare, Theatre, and Time

    by Matthew Wagner ...
    Series series Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies
    That Shakespeare thematized time thoroughly, almost obsessively, in his plays is well established: time is, among other things, a 'devourer' (Love's Labour's Lost), one who can untie knots (Twelfth Night), or, perhaps most famously, simply ‘out of joint’ (Hamlet). Yet most critical commentary on time and Shakespeare tends to incorporate little focus on time as an essential - if elusive - element ... Read more
