Book Description
"The Tragedy of Titus Andronicus" by William Shakespeare is a gripping and intense drama that explores themes of revenge, betrayal, and the destructive consequences of violence. Set in ancient Rome, the play follows the tragic downfall of the noble general Titus Andronicus and his family as they become embroiled in a cycle of vengeance and bloodshed. At the heart of the story is the brutal conflict between Titus Andronicus and Tamora, Queen of the Goths, whose sons are executed by Titus as retribution for their crimes. In retaliation, Tamora and her lover, Aaron the Moor, orchestrate a series of heinous acts of revenge against Titus and his family, plunging them into a spiral of madness and despair. As the body count rises and the atrocities escalate, Titus is consumed by grief and rage, leading to a climactic showdown that culminates in a shocking and tragic conclusion. Along the way, Shakespeare explores themes of honor, justice, and the nature of humanity, offering a searing indictment of the cycle of violence and the capacity for cruelty that lies within us all.

Book Description
Excerpt from Titus Andronicus: With the True Tragedie of Richard the Third Of Titus Andronicus there were two quarto editions printed for Edward White, near the little north door of St. Paul's, at the sign of the "Gun." The first quarto, in 1600, gave the play "As it hath been played by the Right Honourable the Earl of Pembroke, the Earl of Darbie, the Earl of Sussex, and the Lord Chamberlain, their servants." The second quarto, in 1611, gave it "As it hath sundry times been played by the King's Majesty's Servants." Neither of these quartos names Shakespeare as the author of the play, although at either date his name would have strongly recommended it to readers. But in the Palladis Tamia Francis Meres included Titus Andronicus in the list of Shakespeare's tragedies; and in the first folio of 1623, into which his fellow-players Heminge and Coudell collected Shakespeare's works, Titus Andronicus is included. In the registers of the Stationers' Company there was entered to John Danter, on the 6th of February, 1593 (new style, 1594), "a Noble Roman Historye of Tytus Andronicus," and on the same day was "entred alsoe vnto him by warraunt from Master Woodcock the ballad thereof." This agrees with the statement in Langbaine's "Account of English Dramatic Poets." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
