"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart)The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged.Each volume features:Authoritative, reliable textsHigh quality introductions and notesNew, more readable trade trim sizeAn essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts

Summary: Titus Andronicus returns from battle with Tamora, the Queen of the Goths, as his captive. Despite Tamora’s pleading, Titus sacrifices one of her sons to the gods. The remainder of the gory play recounts the vengeance-filled struggle between Tamora and her sons and lover on one side and Titus and his family and friends on the other.
