The story of their irresistible attraction, their jealous quarrels and betrayals, and the effects on friends and subjects of their ruinous choices is a tale leading irretrievably to despair and defeat. Their suicides, however, strike us as a kind of triumph. Shakespeare stood at the height of his powers when he penned this great tragedy, one of the last he produced.This fully annotated edition makes Antony and Cleopatra completely accessible to readers in the twenty-first century. Eminent linguist and translator Burton Raffel offers generous help with vocabulary, pronunciation, and prosody and provides alternative readings of phrases and lines. His on-page annotations give readers all the tools they need to comprehend the play and begin to explore its many possible interpretations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51930841973024,"sku":"NEW0300124732","price":7.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/antony-and-cleopatra-the-annotated-shakespeare-0300124732","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
