antony and cleopatraSecond edition

edited by david bevington

This edition is for the playgoer and the actor as well as the scholar.

david bevington analyses the imaginative design and supreme

poetry of this, one of Shakespeare’s most adventurously innovative

tragedies. he offers a brilliant account of the political drama and

Shakespeare’s handling of sources, especially plutarch, and there

is a lively discussion of staging options. for those approaching the

play for the first time, the commentary is especially full and helpful,

untangling many obscure words and phrases, and illuminating sexual

puns. a new section surveys recent stage and critical interpretations.

as You Like itSecond edition

edited by michael hattaway

Shakespeare’s As You Like It can appear bright or sombre in

performance: a feast of language and a delight for comic actors;

or a risk-taking exploration of gender roles. This updated edition

provides an account of what makes this popular play both innocent

and dangerous.

The comedy of errorsSecond edition

edited by T. S. dorsch, revised and updated by ros king

ros king has provided a completely new introduction, arguing

that Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors cannot be regarded merely as a

farcical romp based on a classical model, but belongs to the critically

misunderstood genre of tragi-comedy. her introduction also engages

fully with the play’s continuing popularity in the theatre.

coriolanusSecond edition

edited by Lee bliss, revised and updated by bridget escolme

Shakespeare’s roman play Coriolanus was probably his last tragedy,

and represents the playwright’s most searching exploration of the

political life of a community. This annotated edition provides full

explanatory notes, and a substantial introduction which has been

updated to include the most recent criticism and productions of

the play.

978-0-521-72874-4 • £8.99

cymbelineedited by martin butler, recently updated

This edition of Cymbeline foregrounds the elements of romance,

tragicomedy and Jacobean stagecraft which shape the play; it also

acknowledges the postmodern indeterminacy of the play’s key

moments. martin butler breaks with the legacy of the sentimental

Victorian reading of the heroine, innogen, and emphasizes

the politics of 1610, especially questions of british union and

nationhood. The play has been freshly edited from the text in

the 1623 folio and offers a detailed commentary on linguistic and

historical aspects of the text. There is also a full treatment of the

play’s stage history from 1610 to the present day.

“The originality of martin butler’s New cambridge Cymbeline is

thrice welcome.”

hamletSecond edition

edited by philip edwards, revised and updated by robert hapgood

This edition aims to bring the reader, playgoer and director of

Hamlet into the closest possible contact with Shakespeare’s most

famous and perplexing play. edwards considers the possibility that

Shakespeare made important alterations to Hamlet as it neared

production, creating differences between the two early texts, quarto

and folio. edwards deals magisterially with the huge volume of

commentary the play has provoked. robert hapgood brilliantly

discusses recent stage, film and critical interpretation.

“The introduction and commentary reveal an author with a

lively awareness of the importance of perceiving the play as a

theatrical document.”

The first part of king henry Viedited by michael hattaway

This, the first major edition for over twenty-five years, takes account

of recent discoveries concerning Shakespeare’s early career. The

First Part of King Henry VI, which gives us Shakespeare’s portrait of

Joan of arc, stands revealed both as a successful venture in its own

exploratory style, and as a necessary account of key events in the

hundred Years war without which the wars of the roses, anatomised

in the following two plays, cannot be understood.

king henry Viiiedited by John margeson

professor margeson considers and illustrates the stage history of the

play, and gives a balanced account of the authorship controversy

from the mid-nineteenth century. The introduction considers

the political and religious background of the play, its pageant-like

structure and visual effects, and its varied ironies. The commentary is

detailed but concise, explaining difficult passages and contemporary

references, and suggesting how the play might have been staged in an

elizabethan theatre, or might still be staged for a modern audience.

king Johnedited by L. a. beaurline

King John had a distinguished life on the eighteenth- and

nineteenth-century stage, but for most of this century the play

has been undervalued. The introduction in this edition presents

the fullest account to date of the stage history, with accompanying

illustrations to suggest the dramatic potential of the script. The

appendix surveys the arguments about the dating of Shakespeare’s

King John and the anonymous Troublesome Reign of King John and

presents new evidence for the possibility that Shakespeare’s play

was written first.

a midsummer Night’s dreamSecond edition

edited by r. a. foakes

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is perhaps Shakespeare’s most popular

comedy. The introduction describes the two main traditions in

the stage history, one emphasising charm and innocence, the

other stressing darker suggestions of violence and sexuality, and

relates them to similar traditions in critical interpretation, showing

that both are necessary to a full understanding of the play. for

this updated edition the editor has added a new section to the

introduction which takes account of recent important professional

theatre productions and scholarly criticism on the play.

“a fine example of judicious editorial writing.”

section on the key events in both scholarship and theatre since the

1980s, including political, feminist and postcolonial treatments in

various parts of the world. a detailed description of performances of

the play on stage, film and television tackles the issue of black/white

casting of the main characters.

periclesedited by doreen delVecchio and antony hammond

over the last two decades there has been a resurgence of theatrical

interest in Shakespeare’s Pericles, which has been rescued from

comparative neglect and is now frequently performed. The editors

reject the current orthodoxies, that the text is seriously corrupt

and that the play is of divided authorship. They show how the 1609

quarto has features in common with the first quarto of King Lear,

now widely regarded as being based on Shakespeare’s manuscript.

Likewise they regard the arguments concerning divided authorship

as unproven and misleading. instead they show the play to be a

unified aesthetic experience.

The Taming of the ShrewSecond edition

edited by ann Thompson

plays considers its reception in the light of the hostility and

defences and feminist criticism of the play. for this updated edition

The Tempestedited by david Lindley

The Tempest is one of the most suggestive, yet most elusive of

Shakespeare’s plays. it is a magical romance, yet embedded in

seventeenth-century debates about authority and power. david

Lindley’s introduction and commentary refer to contemporary

documents in attending to the implications of prospero’s magic,

his political and paternal ambitions, and the controversial issue

of his ‘colonialist’ control of caliban.

“The best edition on the market and the paperback is a snip.”

main characters contain elements of all three genres.

She stresses the play’s theatricality, its elaborate linguistic games and

its complex use of ovidian myths. She analyses the play’s delicate
