Titus, a model Roman, has led twenty-one of his twenty-five sons to death in Rome's wars; he stabs another son to death for what he views as disloyalty to Rome. Yet Rome has become \"a wilderness of tigers.\" After a death sentence is imposed on two of his three remaining sons, and his daughter is raped and mutilated, Titus turns his loyalty toward his family. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAaron the Moor, a magnificent villain and the empress's secret lover, makes a similar transition. After the empress bears him a child, Aaron devotes himself to preserving the baby. Retaining his thirst for evil, he shows great tenderness to his little family--a tenderness that also characterizes Titus before the terrifying conclusion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis edition includes: \u003cbr\u003e -Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play\u003cbr\u003e -Full explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play\u003cbr\u003e -Scene-by-scene plot summaries\u003cbr\u003e -A key to the play's famous lines and phrases\u003cbr\u003e -An introduction to reading Shakespeare's language\u003cbr\u003e -An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play\u003cbr\u003e -Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library's vast holdings of rare books\u003cbr\u003e -An annotated guide to further reading \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEssay by Alexander Leggatt \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC, is home to the world's largest collection of Shakespeare's printed works, and a magnet for Shakespeare scholars from around the globe.
