A must-see Renaissance play for drama lovers 戏剧迷不可错过的文艺复兴时期剧目 The Anthology of Renaissance English Drama series comprises three volumes. This book, the second volume, contains seven plays: Marlowe's dramas represent a milestone in the development of Elizabethan theatre. His Tamburlaine the Great tells the story of how a simple shepherd ascends the throne to become a cruel and ruthless ruler. The classic tragic figure of Tamburlaine embodies the Renaissance desire and pursuit of power and might. Edward III, a verse drama written entirely in poetry, is considered to be Shakespeare's 39th play, depicting the numerous battles waged by the 14th-century English king Edward III against the French and Scots. Sir Thomas More unfolds around More's promotion, achievements, and downfall, portraying a noble, magnanimous, witty, and learned martyr. It is regarded as a landmark biographical drama of the period, among the finest ever written. Women Beware Women and The Changeling are two significant tragedies by Thomas Middleton. The former depicts self-destruction and violence, revealing the impact of money, lust, and power on human behavior, satirizing sexuality based on power, lies, rape, and deceit. The latter tells a tragedy of lust, murder, and adultery, exposing the betrayals wrought by sinful human nature, which T.S. Eliot called the great tragedy other than those of Shakespeare in its era. The Roaring Girl is a city comedy, describing people's destinies in their pursuit of sex, money, power, and faith in God against the backdrop of the Renaissance's quest for humanism and individual value. In The Atheist's Tragedy, revenge is presented not as a means to right the wrongs of an unjust world, but as a necessity, breaking free from the mold of Elizabethan tragedy and revealing the profit-driven nature of the emerging European bourgeois entrepreneurs of the 16th and 17th centuries. The Anthology of Renaissance English Drama is the painstaking work of renowned translator Zhu Shida, crafted over six years. The three volumes total over one million words, and most of the included plays are translated for the first time in China. The translations最大限度 preserve the original meaning and spirit of the works, making it an essential collection of the finest Renaissance dramas that drama lovers simply cannot miss. 《文艺复兴时期英国戏剧选》系列丛书共三辑,本书为第二辑,收录了七部戏剧: 马洛的戏剧是伊丽莎白时期戏剧发展史上的一块里程碑,他的《跛子帖木儿大帝》讲述了一个普通牧民帖木儿如何登上国王宝座,成为一个残暴无情的统治者的故事。帖木儿这一经典悲剧形象,表达了文艺复兴时期人们对力量和权势的渴望和追求。《爱德华三世》是一部全部用诗歌写成的诗剧,被认为是莎士比亚的第39部剧作,该剧讲述了14世纪英格兰国王爱德华三世数次与法国人、苏格兰人交战的故事。《托马斯-莫尔爵士》围绕莫尔的擢升、成就和坠落展开,刻画了一个高贵而宽厚、诙谐且富有学养的殉道者形象,被认为是该时期写得好的里程碑式的传记戏剧。《娘儿们小心娘儿们》和《假傻瓜蛋》是托马斯-米德尔顿两个重要的悲剧作品,前者描写了自我毁灭和暴力,揭示了金钱、淫欲和权力对人的行为的影响,讽刺了基于权力、谎言、强奸和欺骗的性;后者讲述了一个关于淫欲、谋杀和通奸的悲剧,揭示了罪恶的人性所造成的叛卖,被T.S.艾略特称为它所处的时代除莎士比亚之外伟大的悲剧。《齐普赛街上&
