Hamlet es la historia más abstracta del dramaturgo inglés, una obra donde se busca la exploración profunda del ser humano. Y donde, también, el tema de la muerte predomina ampliamente en toda la obra. Es la tragedia donde el eje central es el tema de la venganza, al que se le van aunando otros mas. Donde los temas de poder, traicion, locura y violencia estan presentes. Llena de suspenso y hasta de situaciones sangrientas, es un clasico de gran atractivo. La cual se sabe " que el publico atiborraba los teatros para deleitarse con tal obra".

Junto con Hamlet, los Sonetos son la obra más estudiada y controvertida de Shakespeare. Ello se debe, antes que nada, a la extraordinaria calidad de las 154 composiciones publicadas por vez primera en 1609. Pero si tanto interes y controversias suscitan los Sonetos tambien es debido a lo poco que se sabe de cierto sobre William Shakespeare, circunstancia que todavia se complica mas por las deliberadas ambiguedades y pistas falsas dejadas por el propio dramaturgo. Curiosamente, a dia de hoy sigue sin saberse de cierto quien es el Fair Youth al que estan dedicados los 126 primeros sonetos, quien era la Black Lady que suscita los impulsos amorosos de los poemas 127 al 152, ni quien seria el Rival Poet de trae a mal traer a la voz lirica hasta el final...

Usually classifed as a ''problem comedy'', All''s Well that Ends Well invites a fresh assessment. Its psychologically disturbing presentation of an agressive, designing woman and a reluctant husband wooed by trickery won it little favour in earlier centuries, and both directors and critics have frequently tried to avoid or simplify its uncomfortable elements. More recently, several distinguished productions have revealed it as an exceptionally penetrating study of both personal and social issues. In her introduction Susan Snyder makes the play''s clashing ideologies of class and gender newly accessible. She explains how the very discords of style can be seen as a source of theatrical power and complexity, and offers a fully reconsidered, helpfully annotated text for both readers and actors.

Al escribir las obras que integran este volumen - Ricardo II (1595-1596) y las dos partes de Enrique IV (1597- 1598) -, el dramaturgo William Shakespeare (1564- 1616) daba un salto atrás en el tiempo. Ya habian aparecido las tres partes de su Enrique VI y el epilogo o cima de ellas que es Ricardo III, cuya conclusion nos coloca en el principio de la dinastia Tudor. Luego de esto, se planta Shakespeare con la imaginacion en la Edad Media para concluir estos dramas historicos.

Lanzada de nuevo a la popularidad por la versión cinematográfica que de la obra hiciera en 1993 el actor y director Kenneth Branagh, Mucho ruido y pocas nueces, compuesta en 1598, fue ya en su día una de las comedias mas celebradas de William Shakespeare (1574-1616). Situada en su mayor parte en un amable marco de jardines, aposentos y fiestas cortesanas, la obra gira principalmente en torno a dos fuertes personajes enfrentados, Benedicto de Padua y Beatriz, adversarios irreconciliables y ambos tan ingeniosos, mordaces y sarcasticos como desdeñosos del amor. A lomos de una trama animada por los equivocos, las traiciones y los imprevistos, los enemigos jurados acaban sin embargo, para su propia sorpresa, en aquel lugar a donde se prometieron nunca ir a parar y, lo que es mas, en la compañia para ellos mas insospechada.

Cuatro conceptos son determinantes en «Romeo y Julieta»: el Destino, los presagios que preludian un fin trágico; la Acción, propiciada por la enemistad de las dos familias y la precipitación en las d
