"Coriolanus is perhaps the most brilliant political play ever written. Set in Ancient Rome, it remains a gripping psychological study of the relationship between personality and politics. The introduction to this new edition considers Shakespeare's adaptation of his historical material (Plutarch's Lives) in relation to the social and political conditions in London and Stratford at the time of the play's composition, also offering new evidence that it was written in 1608. Professor Parker examines the play's history and particularly its staging at the Blackfriars theatre, where it was probably the first of Shakespeare's plays to be presented and for which it may have been written. A thorough commentary pays special attention to the needs of actors and directors."--Publisher description

Denne boka inviterer til lystlesning i en mangfoldig samling erotiske tekster, hentet fra norske og utenlandske romaner og noveller. Her finner du kjente, klassiske kjærlighetspar som Romeo og Julie, Tristan og Isolde, Abelard og Héloïse, men her er også mindre kjente elskere, som for eksempel den unge Masetto i Dekameronen som spilte stum, snek seg inn i et nonnekloster, og ble alle nonnenes førsteelsker - i taus hemmelighet. Her er selvfølgelig smakebiter fra Bjørneboes Uten en tråd, sammen med utdrag fra Henry Millers Sexus, Suzanne Brøggers Ja, Peter Høegs Kvinden og Aben, Jan Kjærstad, Vigdis Hjort. Du finner også erotiske scener fra science fiction-litteraturen og forunderlig banal mykporno fra kiosklitteraturen, og ikke minst Frode Gryttens helt spesielle vestlandssjarmør, Fittetjuven.
