<strong>'Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, Blood and revenge are hammering in my head.'</strong> In Shakespeare's first tragedy, <em>Titus Andronicus</em>, the Roman general Titus incurs the wrath of the Queen of the Goths when he enslaves her and kills one of her sons. The shocking violence of her revenge and his retaliation earn <em>Titus</em> its reputation as Shakespeare's bloodiest play. This <em>New Oxford Shakespeare</em> edition offers a range of critical approaches to the play, considering its initial popularity in the theatre, the authors' engagement with narrative sources and Roman history, and the ongoing problems scholars and theatremakers have had with the play's presentation of violence, rape, and racial difference. Throughout, it incorporates up-to-date scholarship and close readings of a number of landmark productions to consider the play's place in Shakespeare's canon and to illustrate <em>Titus Andronicus</em>'s enduring value in interrogating some of wider culture's darkest and most challenging concerns. <em>The New Oxford Shakespeare</em> offers authoritative editions of Shakespeare's works with introductory materials designed to encourage new interpretations of the plays and poems. Using the text from the landmark <em>The New Oxford Shakespeare Complete Works: Modern Critical Edition</em>, these volumes offer readers the latest thinking on the authentic texts (collated from all surviving original versions of Shakespeare's work) alongside innovative introductions from leading scholars. The texts are accompanied by a comprehensive set of critical apparatus to give readers the best resources to help understand and enjoy Shakespeare's work. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introd
