As with any "classically structured" revenge drama of the era, there are some issues with credibility that would strain our dramatic notions. And the feminist and religious issues inherent in the text demand further reading than just this Introduction. However, this is a lovely, easy-to-read edition. ( ) Ambientata a Parma, in una corte italiana di maniera, tutta intrighi e tranelli mortali, secondo gli schemi cari agli elisabettiani, questa tragedia suscitò sempre molto scalpore a causa del suo soggetto imperniato su un amore insano, e del modo non conformista con cui Ford nobilita e quasi giustifica questa passione. Stupendo per iltratteggio dei personaggi principali e per la forza delle scene, questo dramma, tradotto in francese da Maeterlinck, prestò materia d'ispirazione a molti grandi, fra cui Thomas Mann e Wagner. In a word ...............Torture. I did not realize both before I read it and once I started it what a struggle it was going to be for me. This play was written in the 17th century, so if you struggle with Shakespeare, you'll struggle here too. I understood the barest of its storyline, and none of the details. I certainly don't understand why it has this title, incest and being a whore are not the same thing. Too many plots and betrayals, I may have loved it had it been written in modern language, but as it stands, it was a disaster, I hardly understood a thing. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
