Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Antony and Cleopatra dramatizes a major event in world history: the founding of the Roman Empire. The future first emperor, Octavius Caesar (later called Augustus Caesar), coldbloodedly manipulates other characters and exercises iron control over himself.At first, he shares power with Mark Antony, Romes preeminent military leader, and the weaker Lepidus. Caesar needs Antony to fend off other Roman strongmen like Pompey; he even offers his sister Octavia to him as a bride, despite Antonys reputation as a libertine and his past rivalry with Caesar. Once Caesar defeats Pompey, however, he needs no allies. He brings charges against Lepidus, denies Antony his spoils from Pompeys defeat, and seizes cities in the eastern Roman colonies that Antony rules.The plays emphasis, however, is on those whom Caesar defeats: Antony and his wealthy Egyptian ally, Queen Cleopatra. The play does not sugarcoat Antony and Cleopatras famous love affair, including her calculated attempts to seduce Antony from his duties and his rage when he thinks she has betrayed him to Caesar. Nonetheless, the lovers find such sensual and emotional satisfaction that Caesars world conquest seems smaller than what they find in each other.The authoritative edition of Antony and Cleopatra from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers, includes:Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the playFull explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the playScenebyscene plot summariesA key to the plays famous lines and phrasesAn introduction to reading Shakespeares languageAn essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the playFresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Librarys vast holdings of rare booksAn annotated guide to further readingEssay by Cynthia MarshallThe Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is home to the worlds largest collection of Shakespeares printed works, and a magnet for Shakespeare scholars from around the globe.
