Timon of Athens

by William Shakespeare

Overview

The Life of Timon of Athens is a play by William Shakespeare about the legendary Athenian misanthrope Timon (and probably influenced by the eponymous philosopher, as well), generally regarded as one of his most obscure and difficult works. Originally grouped with the tragedies, it is generally considered such, but some scholars group it with the problem comedies. (From Wikipedia)

Editorial Reviews

"Working with Omar Pound, an expert on Lewis and controller of rights to his estate, and using my own understanding of Lewis’ work, I have attempted to create the work that he would have done. It is bound on boards with a clamshell box covered with Italian Linen book cloth."—Charles D. Jones
