Giorgio Melchiori – författare

The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of new critical, stage and screen interpretations. King Edward III is a major addition to the Shakespearean canon, and is published here for the first time in an authoritative edition of Shakespeare's works. Its editor, Giorgio Melchiori, claims that Shakespeare is not the play's sole author but that he wrote a significant part of the text. The extent of his contribution is discussed in detail. Melchiori also explores the play's historical background and genesis both in the context of contemporary theatrical practice and in relation to Shakespeare's own early cycle of history plays. An extensive Appendix on the use of sources explains the stages in which King Edward III was composed.

The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of new critical, stage and screen interpretations. This second edition retains Giorgio Melchiori's text of Shakespeare's The Second Part of King Henry IV. Melchiori argues that the play forms an unplanned sequel to the First Part, itself a 'remake' of an old, non-Shakespearean play. In the Second Part, Shakespeare deliberately exploits Falstaff's popular appeal and the resulting rich humour adds a comic dimension to the play, rendering it a unique blend of history, morality play and comedy. Among modern editions, Melchiori's is the one most firmly based on the quarto. This second edition includes a new section by Adam Hansen on recent stage, film and critical interpretations.

The best edition of the play in print. Gives a radical re-examination of the manuscript, and relates step by step to the process by which the play acquired its final form. Accounts for every single word and mark found in the manuscript - reproduces rejected or alternative passages at the end of the text. Includes a detailed discussion of the authorship and date of the original text and so-called additions. Particularly important now as the play feeds into the present speculation concerning Shakespeare's Catholic roots.

"A significant and substantive edition, in that nothing has been taken for granted, everything has been opened to reconsideration. The commentary is exceptionally detailed and attentive to questions of language and meaning." - Shakespeare QuarterlyThe Merry Wives of Windsor, Shakespeare''s only thoroughly English comedy, created an archetypal literary figure in the shape of the devious, irrepressible John Falstaff. This stimulating edition celebrates the play as a joyous exploration of language, but also places elements of its plot firmly in a continental, specifically Italian, tradition of romantic comedy. It draws out the complexities of Merry Wives as a multi-plot play, and takes a fresh and challenging look at both textual and dating issues; a facsimile of the first Quarto is included as an appendix. The play''s extensive performance history, both dramatic and operatic, is fully explored and discussed.

Ulises es la epopeya de dos razas (Israel-Irlanda) y al mismo tiempo el ciclo del cuerpo humano y también una pequeña historia de una jornada (vida). La figura de Ulises me ha fascinado siempre desde niño. Comencé a escribir un relato para Dublineses hace quince años pero lo dejé. Hace siete años que trabajo en este libro: ¡caray! También es una especie de enciclopedia. Mi intención no es sólo la de presentar el mito sub specie temporis nostris, sino también que cada aventura (es decir, cada hora, cada órgano, cada arte conectados y fundidos en el esquema somático del conjunto) condicione o, mejor dicho, cree su propia técnica. Cada aventura es, por decirlo así, una persona, si bien compuesta de personas: como cuenta el de Aquino de los ejércitos angélicos.En Joyce: el oficio de escribir, Melchiori hace un análisis de la trayectoria del escritor irlandés desde sus primeros escritos hasta Finnegans Wake, cuyo análisis detenido cierra el libro. Melchiori es un gran erudito y una gran escritor, capaz de poner todo su saber a disposición de la interpretación, y de hacer con ésta una verdadera fiesta del lenguaje. Joyce: el oficio de escribir ha sido traducido por Juan Antonio Méndez con escrúpulo y con brillantez, poniendo al día las referencias bibliográficas y ofreciendo un notable acopio documental.
