Trade Paperback. Publisher: Lunds universitet, Media-Tryck | Utg. 2020 | Trade Paperback | 436 p. | This book is brand new. | Series: Lund Studies in English | Language: Engelska --- Information regarding the book: A childless couple look for an alternative life project; three sisters argue about their senile father; a young student struggles with his tricky family situation and an attitude problem. Appropriations, adaptations and productions from the decades around the turn of the millennium often treat Shakespeare’s major tragedies as domestic drama, which brings out the gender- and family-related issues in them. This book examines appropriations of five of Shakespeare’s tragedies (King Lear, Macbeth, Othello, Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet), written for the stage between 1980 and 2010 and set in Shakespeare’s playworlds. It investigates how these appropriations are used as a strategy for discussing issues that are central both to Shakespeare’s plays and to the present gender-political climate, with particular focus on the depiction of women and familial relationships. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery., 0, New York, NY: Intima Press, 2023. dos-à-dos binding with Suminagashi marbled edges.

"I am the one whom they call Life, and you have called Death. I am the one whom you have pursued, and I am the one whom you have seized. I am the one whom you have reflected upon, and you have scorned me." - Thunder, Perfect Mind, Nag Hammadi, 4th-century First edition limited to 37 copies, of which this is one of 26 standard lettered copies signed by the printer / artist, Mindy Belloff. A fine copy in fine clamshell box. Designs, printing, drawings, typography, marbling, and binding by Mindy Belloff. Letterpress printed from photopolymer plates produced at Boxcar Press, NY. From the artist's website: "This new edition from Intima Press, four years in the making, is a double-bound miniature pairing of a classic 17th century Shakespearean story, The Tragedy of Othello, with commentary and quoted statistics compiled by the artist in The Tragedy of Desdemona. By magnifying the plight of abused women and enaging in dialogue with the text of Othello as cultural critique, the Desdemona tragedy highlights issues of patriarchy and gender bias throughout centuries, while giving voice to women who have been silenced. Though small in size, this edition is not less significant. The work continues to challenge traditional subject matter in fine press printing, with essential historic and contemporary viewpoints, helping to redefine contemporary artists' contributions to the history of the book. Voices: William Shakespeare's Othello, based on a 16th-century tale in Giraldi Cinthio's Gli Hecatommithi, was a popular play in Elizabethan England, which still resonates today. The story begins with devotional love, an elopement, and hope for the future, interrupted by the machinations of the villain Iago, and ends in tragedy within a few days. The character of Othello, a General in the military who marries the young Lady Desdemona, becomes intensely jealous and eventually murders her, parallels a modern Othello-the sports and television personality O.J. Simpson, who was accused of the double murders of his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman in 1994. Both are tragic stories of jealous rage, domestic violence, male dominance, upper class privilege, and femicide. In The Tragedy of Desdemona, closing arguments of the legal case and diary entries of the victim are revisited, along with historic and contemporary poetry, writings from the 4th-century Nag Hammadi codices, excerpts of writings from Ovid, Dostoevsky, and Alice Walker, current news headlines, global statistics on femicide, the 2021 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe, the 1993 case of Lorena Bobbitt, and the myth of Medusa, among other information. Soft you. A word or two before you go. Speak of me as I am. Of one that loved not wisely, but too well. - Othello I loved her; always have and always will. If we had a problem, its because I loved her so much. - O.J. Dos-à-Dos Binding & video montage: The two volumes are paired, Othello on one side, Desdemona on the other, sharing the same spine-a parallel with Iago's description of marital conjugation of the beast with two backs-as the two texts and various voices are conjoined in dialogue and are inseparable. The layered narrative continues with a video component. When opened, one views a montage of images including short clips from film and theater productions of Othello (Orson Welles, Laurence Fishburne, Anthony Hopkins, Eamonn Walker, Laurence Olivier, and Placido Domingo), news headlines of sensational stories from the mid-1990's, recent women's marches around the #MeToo movement and Supreme Court rulings, and other poignant stories and global statistics. The video functions as a time capsule, of a generation coming of age in the 1970's-90's ( 8:44 minutes). Beautifully composed pages printed letterpress on a Vandercook Universal III Automatic A/B press, front and verso, in two different shades of browns and reds, the design of an 'O' is repeated on each page, with pages adorned with over 50 original drawings. Othello: Full text in its entirety, typeset in Adobe Luminari, 192-pages printed on Mohawk Superfine text weight papers. Desdemona: Typeset in Adobe Jenson Pro, 150-pages printed on Johannot Arches cotton rag papers. Six women are killed by men every hour in a global pandemic of femicide - United Nations, 2020.
