SynopsisThe Arden Shakespeare is the established scholarly edition of Shakespeare's plays. Now in its third series, Arden offers the best in contemporary scholarship. Each volume guides you to a deeper understanding and appreciation of Shakespeare's work. This edition of Measure for Measure provides: A clear and authoritative text, edited to the highest standards of scholarship, Detailed notes and commentary on the same page as the text, A full, illustrated introduction to the play's historical, cultural and performance contexts, An in-depth survey of critical approaches to the play, A full index to the introduction and notes, A select bibliography of references and further reading With a wealth of helpful and incisive commentary, The Arden Shakespeare is the finest edition of Shakespeare you can find. Book jacket., Often described as one of Shakespeare's 'problem plays', Measure for Measure explores issues of mercy and justice in corrupt Vienna. The Duke makes his strict moralistic deputy, Angelo, temporary leader of Vienna, while he disguises himself as a friar to witness all that ensues. In the comprehensive introduction to this new, fully-illustrated Arden edition, with commentary and notes from A. R. Braunmuller , Robert N. Watson explores the recent increased attention to the play and the shifting judgements of key characters such as the Duke and Isabella. He analyses the social foundations of these changes, their validity as readings of the text, and their manifestations in performance. It also explores the play's implications on topics including love, marriage, sexuality, consent, mortality, religion, statecraft, moderation, and theatre itself.
