With the Emperor dead, his two sons, Saturninus and Bassianus, quarrel over who should succeed him; but neither are as popular as the general Titus Andronicus, returned to Rome victorious after a ten-year campaign, with Tamora, Queen of the Goths, and her three sons as his prisoners. Eschewing the throne, he endorses Saturninus as successor, and sacrifices the Queen's son Alarbus in memory of his own, lost in the war. But when the new emperor spurns Titus's amity and chooses Tamora for his wife, she quickly begins to plot a murderous revenge of barely conceivable cruelty.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book contains a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to \u003ci\u003eTitus Andronicus\u003c\/i\u003e, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay discussing performance options on both stage and screen, and a commentary.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf you enjoyed \u003ci\u003eTitus Andronicus, \u003c\/i\u003e you might like \u003ci\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/i\u003e, also available in Penguin Shakespeare.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e'This is tragedy naked, godless and unredeemed'\u003cbr\u003eKenneth Tynan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45087981666455,"sku":"9780141396323","price":260.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780141396323.webp?v=1767641171","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/titus-andronicus-9780141396323","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
