Le Conte d'hiver

Roméo et Juliette est l'oeuvre la plus célèbre d'un auteur à qui l'on doit les plus grands classiques de l'histoire dramatique. Autant dire qu'il s'agit là d'une pièce qui confine à l'universel, puisqu'elle constitue l'illustration la plus aboutie de l'innocence des sentiments amoureux. Amours de jeunesse, élans indifférents aux conventions ou à la bienséance : Roméo et Juliette se révèlent l'un à l'autre et par-là même découvrent chacun leur véritable nature. La force (et surtout l'immédiateté) du lien qui les unit symbolise une certaine forme d'idéal humain, généreux et affranchi de toute contingence. C'est précisément cette "arrogance" d'un sentiment qui se suffit à lui-même que le destin va poursuivre avec violence... Car la loi clanique refuse que l'on se place en marge des liens du sang, et ni Juliette ni Roméo ne peuvent oublier qu'ils appartiennent à des familles rivales. Victimes de la fatalité plus que de leurs dilemmes respectifs, les jeunes héros subissent la violence d'un monde qui s'acharne contre l'innocence et la pureté. On ne cesse de s'émerveiller devant la force tragique et le lyrisme spontané de cette oeuvre fondatrice.

Romeo Et Juliette

Voici deux volumes d'un créateur génial servi par un homme de théâtre considérable, Jean Gillibert. Le même souci de la réalité théâtrale de William Shakespeare - et non la seule " dramaturgie " de ses pièces - a guidé Gillibert et l'a obligé. Que l'anglais soit la plus latine des langues saxonnes, au nom secret de cette ambiguïté, a su servir ce tragique d'un réel poétique et lyrique étonnant.

Romeo and Juliet

The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare's Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
The Tempest is the most lyrical, profound and fascinating of Shakespeare's late comedies. Prospero, long exiled from Italy with his daughter Miranda, seeks to use his magical powers to defeat his former enemies. Eventually, having proved merciful, he divests himself of that magic, his 'art', and prepares to return to the mainland. The Tempest has often been regarded as Shakespeare's 'farewell to the stage' before his retirement.
In the past, critics emphasised the romantically beautiful features of The Tempest, seeing it as an imaginative fantasia. In recent decades, however, The Tempest has also been treated as a potently political drama which offers controversial insights into colonialism and racism. Frequently staged and diversely filmed, the play has influenced numerous poets and novelists.
