Reviews"This superb new edition of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale is another excellent entry in the relatively new Broadview/Internet Shakespeare Editions series. Its virtues are many: a beautifully organized introduction; very fine glosses with extremely useful enlarged notes and illustrations; excellent sources; very useful analogues; and a superb bibliography. Hardin Aasand's is now, for me, the teaching edition; I can't wait to own it and teach from it." - Peter Platt, Barnard College

SynopsisNeither comedy nor tragedy, The Winter's Talecontains elements of each genre, and defies easy classification. It experiments, like many of Shakespeare's late plays, with different styles and tones, and draws on a wide range of sources and inspirations. Full of mysteries and miracles, grief and dark humour, this strange play has fascinated critics and theatregoers for centuries. Theatrical and cinematic productions have tried to capture the range of interpretations and staging possibilities presented by The Winter's Tale, and the introduction to this edition explores the play's long histories in performance and in criticism. Illustrations and extended notes interleaved throughout the text discuss the echoes of religious, scientific, and mythological texts found in the play., With an unusual combination of intense drama and comedic moments, The Winter's Taleremains one of Shakespeare's most complicated and captivating plays.
