Cherchez la femme: John Keats and Mrs Jones
February 2021
|
Journal article
|
TLS - The Times Literary Supplement
Keats and Mrs Jones had a thing going on. They had a feeling that it was wrong, so they kept very quiet about it. Keats never mentioned her name in writing and only referred to her in two letters to George and Georgiana, his brother and sister-in-law in America. Her identity has always remained a puzzle, leading some biographers to frustration and others to outlandish speculation.

Titus Andronicus Revised Edition
Titus Andronicus is one of Shakespeare's earliest and bloodiest tragedies and was hugely successful in his lifetime. Subsequent generations have struggled with its bold confrontation of violence but in the 20th and 21st centuries the play has chimed with audiences again, perhaps because of its simultaneously shocking and playful approach to violent revenge and bodily mutilation. Jonathan Bate's original Arden edition was first published in 1995 and has had a significant influence on how the play has been performed and studied in the past 20 years. This revised edition includes a new 10,000 word introductory essay in which Bate reassess his views on the play's co-authorship with George Peele in the light of contemporary textual scholarship and updates his lively account of the play's performance history, on the international stage and screen. With detailed on-page commentary notes this will continue to be the edition of choice for students, scholars and theatre-makers.
