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.
978-0-521-73250-5 • £8.99
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.

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.

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.

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.

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,
