Perhaps no play in William Shakespeare's body of work is more divisive than his first tragedy <i>Titus Andronicus</i>, wherein the titular Roman general, freshly arrived back home after a decade-long crusade against the Goths, refuses to ascend to the emperorship and quickly sets off a bloody campaign of vengeance when he orders the death of the eldest son of Tamora, Queen of the Goths, to avenge the deaths of his own sons during the war. Violence gives way to more violence as more and more bodies are maimed, violated and dismembered in an agonizing symphony of bloodlust and retribution for the sins of both Titus and Tamora, with Shakespeare capitalizing on the success of other practitioners of the revenge tragedy in his time, such as Thomas Kyd and Christopher Marlowe, to deliver a gruesome spectacle that has simultaneously fascinated and repulsed audiences ever since.Author: William ShakespeareLength: 2 hours 48 minutesGenre: TragedyChapters:00:00 - Chapter 103:03 - Chapter 235:57 - Chapter 301:09:58 - Chapter 401:35:33 - Chapter 502:10:54 - Chapter 6#FullAudiobook #ClassicAudiobook #ClassicLiterature #FreeAudiobook #PublicDomain This audiobook recording is from LibriVox.org.All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain.Text and narration are public domain.Narration provided by LibriVox volunteers.Curated, packaged, and distributed by 🟡 Free Audiobook Library.Discover more free classic audiobooks at https://thefreeaudiobooklibrary.com.Support the Free Audiobook Library and help us release more audiobooks at https://patreon.com/freeaudiobooklibrary.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/free-audiobook-library--7224392/support.Support the Free Audiobook Library at Patreon.com/FreeAudiobookLibrary
