作者簡介:
William Shakespeare(1564-1616) 威廉.莎士比亞出生於英國,被公認是英國文學史和戲劇史上最傑出的詩人和劇作家。父親在他十三歲時因經商失敗而破產,他因此無法上大學。他十八歲時娶了大他八歲的Anne Hathaway,育有三名小孩。莎士比亞在1590年成為劇作家,起初只是模仿別的作家寫故事,藉此磨練寫作技巧,後來他越漸歡迎,最後成為成功的演員與劇作家。 莎士比亞擅於刻畫人物心理,運用生動的戲劇語言扣動讀者心弦,他的故事結構嚴謹、情節豐富多元,更富含人生哲理。他一生共寫了37部作品,可分成四個時期:歷史劇、喜劇、悲劇和浪漫喜悲劇。其中四大悲劇:《哈姆雷特》、《奧賽羅》、《李爾王》和《馬克白》寫於悲劇時期。這些戲劇故事在世界各地不斷地改編、上演,數百年來雋永不朽,為他贏得最偉大的劇作家的聲譽。 譯者: 林育珊 明道大學教學碩士。喜歡讀英文,說英文,看英文。平日以教英文為樂,著有《初級英檢閱讀模擬練習解析》。除了分享自己英文的教學心得外,現亦從事翻譯工作,希望與國內讀者共讀國外好書。
