Publisher Description Timon of Athens has struck many readers as rough and unpolished, perhaps even unfinished, though to others it has appeared as Shakespeares most profound tragic allegory. Described by Coleridge as the stillborn twin of King Lear, the play has nevertheless proved brilliantly effective in performance over the past thirty or forty years.This edition accepts and contributes to the growing scholarly consensus that the play is not Shakespeares solo work, but is the result of his collaboration with Thomas Middleton, who wrote about a third of it. The editors offer an account of the process of collaboration and discuss the different ways that each author contributes to the plays relentless look at the corruption and greed of society. They provide, as well, detailed annotation of the text and explore the wide range of critical and theatrical interpretations that the play has engendered. Tracing both its satirical and tragic strains, their introduction presents a perspective on the plays meanings that combines careful elucidation of historical context with analysis of its relevance to modern-day society.An extensive and well-illustrated account of the plays production history generates a rich sense of how the play can speak to different historical moments in specific and rewarding ways.
