THE LIFE OF TYMON OF ATHENS [Extracted from 'Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories and Tragedies. Published according to the true Originall Copies. The second Impression'].
Author: [SHAKESPEARE, William]. Publisher: [London]: [Thomas Cotes for Robert Allot, et al], [1632]. Second edition. Second edition. Folio. Modern marbled boards. 11 leaves (jj6-ll4) paged 107-128 (128 being Actors Names). 12 7/8'" x 8 5/8". Printed in roman and italic in two box-ruled columns, woodcut headpiece and tailpieces. Binding fine. Contents very good. Paper-clip rust stain to top inner corner of first and last leaf. Small scuff to leaf kk effecting one word of text. Minor toning, occasional spotting, foxing. Else a bright, clean example. [Jaggard 496]. [Pollard 143-145]. Binding: Boards. Condition: Very Good. The complete play extracted from the 1632 second folio edition. Second edition overall (after the First Folio of 1623, used as the setting copy for this edition) of Shakespeare's Timon of Athens, appearing seventeen years after the Bard's death. It and the first folio would remain the only editions of Timon for almost the next fifty years, until the first separate edition of 1678. One of Shakespeare's most difficult works Ð sometimes grouped by scholars with the tragedies, sometimes with the problem plays Ð its themes as well as the explorations of the title character revisit and parallel other works, perhaps most notably King Lear (written at nearly the same time). A play often critically out-of-favor, Lucy Bailey's acclaimed London production at the Globe this summer has again renewed interest. Quantity available: 1. Price: US$3,750.00 |
