The Tragical Reign of Selimus, Emperor of the Turks, also known as Selimus, is an Elizabethan revenge tragedy, traditionally attributed to Robert Greene, though its authorship remains debated by scholars. First published in 1594, this play delves into the ruthless ambition and violent conflicts within the Ottoman court, centering on the reign of Selimus and the fratricidal struggle for power among his sons.
This edition offers readers a carefully edited and accessible version of the play, preserving the original language and dramatic intensity while providing context for modern audiences. The Tragical Reign of Selimus stands as a significant example of early modern drama, reflecting the fascination with foreign lands and the exploration of moral themes that characterized the Elizabethan stage. It provides insight into the theatrical landscape of Shakespeare's time.
