Timon

""Timon: A Play"" is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare and first published in 1623. This edition of the play, published in 1842, includes annotations and commentary by Alexander Dyce, a prominent Shakespearean scholar of the time. The play follows the story of Timon, a wealthy Athenian who lavishly spends his fortune on his friends, only to be betrayed by them when he falls into financial ruin. As Timon descends into bitterness and misanthropy, he becomes a symbol of the corrupting influence of wealth and power. Dyce's annotations provide historical context and literary analysis of the play, making this edition a valuable resource for students and scholars of Shakespearean drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
