In this translation of \u003ci\u003eHenry VI, Part 3, \u003c\/i\u003eDouglas Langworthy concludes the trilogy, tracking the final downfall of Henry VI and the rise of the House of York. Langworthy's translation takes a deep dive into the language of Shakespeare. With a fine-tooth comb, he updates passages that are archaic and difficult to the modern ear, and matches them with the syntax and lyricism of the rest of the play, essentially translating archaic Shakespeare to match contemporary Shakespeare. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This translation of \u003ci\u003eHenry VI, Part 3\u003c\/i\u003e was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of \"The Bard\" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print--a new First Folio for a new era.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 086698769X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780866987691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance S\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 4.90w x 0.40d","brand":"William Shakespeare","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44063443845375,"sku":"9780866987691","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cdf7ca0b-7b06-47d1-914a-7f2cebd4ddaf.jpg?v=1685389585","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/henry-vi-part-3-william-shakespeare-9780866987691","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
