Timon of Athens (Annotated Edition)

A biting and overlooked Shakespearean satire, Timon of Athens explores wealth, greed, and the absurd loyalty money can buy — until it runs out. Timon’s transformation from lavish benefactor to bitter hermit is one of Shakespeare’s darkest character spirals, and one of his most modern.

This TritonLit edition brings clarity to a notoriously dense text. Each act is broken down with crisp summaries, sharp context, and commentary that tracks Shakespeare’s cynicism toward status and debt. You’ll see how the play captures the tension between generosity and exploitation — and why it resonates so strongly today.
