ANTONY AND CLEOPATRASecond EditionEdited 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.

CYMBELINEEdited by Martin Butler

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.”Shakespeare Survey

HAMLET, PRINCE OF DENMARKSecond EditionEdited by Philip Edwards

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 Review of English Studies

KING RICHARD IIISecond EditionEdited by Janis Lull

King Richard III is one of Shakespeare’s most popular and frequently performed plays. Janis Lull’s introduction to this new edition, based on the First Folio, emphasises the play’s tragic themes and stresses the importance of women’s roles in the play. It also underscores the special relationship between Richard III and Macbeth. A thorough performance history of stage and film versions of Richard III shows how the text has been reshaped by directors and actors. This updated edition contains a new introductory section covering recent criticism and performances of this perennially popular play.

MACBETHSecond EditionEdited by A. R. Braunmuller

The most extensively annotated edition of Macbeth currently available, this offers a thorough reconsideration of one of Shakespeare’s most popular plays. An accessible introduction studies the immediate theatrical and political contexts of Macbeth’s composition, especially the Gunpowder Plot and a contemporary account of an early performance at the Globe. A well-illustrated account of the play in performance examines several cinematic versions and a new introductory section on recent performances and adaptations brings the edition up-to-date.

A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAMSecond EditionEdited 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.

OTHELLOSecond EditionEdited by Norman Sanders

Norman Sanders provides a full analysis of the textual problem and theories of transmission of Othello, and presents possible solutions to the stylistic and racial issues which face modern readers and spectators. For this updated edition, Scott McMillin has added a new 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.

ROMEO AND JULIETSecond EditionEdited by G. Blakemore Evans

G. Blakemore Evans helps the reader to visualise the stage action of Romeo and Juliet, a vital element in the play’s significance and useful to students approaching it for the first time. The theatrical history of the play is accompanied by illustrations of notable productions from the eighteenth century onwards. A lucid commentary alerts the reader to the difficulties of language, thought and staging. For this updated edition Thomas Moisan has added a new introductory section which discusses important professional theatre productions and the large output of recent scholarly criticism on the play.

THE TAMING OF THE SHREWSecond EditionEdited by Ann Thompson

This edition of one of Shakespeare’s most popular yet controversial plays considers its reception in the light of the hostility and embarrassment it often arouses, taking account of both scholarly defences and feminist criticism of the play. For this updated edition Ann Thompson has added new sections to the introduction which describe the ‘deeply problematic’ nature of debates about the play and its reception since the 1980s.

The Tempest is one of the most suggestive, yet most elusive of all Shakespeare’s plays, and has provoked a wide range of critical interpretations. In this updated edition, David Lindley has thoroughly revised the introduction and reading list to take account of the latest directions in criticism and performance.

TWELFTH NIGHTSecond EditionEdited by Elizabeth Story Donno

For this updated edition of Twelfth Night, Penny Gay has written a wholly new introduction to this well-loved Shakespearean comedy. She stresses the play’s theatricality, its elaborate linguistic games and its complex use of Ovidian myths. She analyses the play’s delicate balance between romance and realism and its exploration of gender, sexuality and identity. In examining the stage history, she indicates how contemporary critical theory could have much to offer 21st century directors and actors. An updated reading list completes the edition.
