Summary

Two families torn by jealousy, ingratitude, and rage drive a kingdom to civil war and madness. This complete, line-by-line translation makes the language of Shakespeare's tragedy contemporary while preserving the metrical rhythm, complexity, and poetic qualities of the original. By capturing both sound and sense without the need for glosses or notes, readers can share the challenge, comprehension, and delight of audiences four hundred years ago—the way Shakespeare intended. Original.
