Features: William Shakespeare (1564-1616), a giant of the European Renaissance and a great British writer, created thirty-seven poetic dramas with his genius, leaving behind a valuable cultural heritage for later generations. This book includes Shakespeare's four most important tragedies—Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. It is a significant achievement of Professor Sun Dayu's years of dedicated research and translation of Shakespearean drama. Professor Sun is one of China's scholars who translates Shakespearean poetic dramas in verse. His translation uses the five-syllable meter system he himself created to translate the original five-foot iambic pentameter, possessing a unique style and charm.
