The Sources Of Titus Andronicus: With A Note On Tittus And Vespacia And Titus And Ondronicus In Henslowe's Diary (1901) - Paperback

The Sources of Titus Andronicus is a book written by Harold De Wolf Fuller and first published in 1901. The book is primarily concerned with the sources of William Shakespeare's play Titus Andronicus, which is considered one of his earliest and bloodiest works. Fuller examines the various literary and historical sources that Shakespeare drew upon in creating the play, such as Ovid's Metamorphoses, Seneca's tragedies, and stories of Roman history and mythology.In addition to analyzing the sources of Titus Andronicus, Fuller also provides a note on two other plays that may have influenced Shakespeare's work: Tittus and Vespacia and Titus and Ondronicus, both of which are mentioned in the diary of Elizabethan theater manager Philip Henslowe. Fuller discusses the possible connections between these plays and Shakespeare's Titus Andronicus, as well as their significance in the context of early modern English drama.Overall, The Sources of Titus Andronicus is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Shakespearean literature, providing insight into the creative process behind one of the Bard's most controversial plays.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
