"The Arden Shakespeare," purveyor of handsome editions of
individual plays, now expands the brand with "Arden Early Modern
Drama." Scholars increasingly explore Jacobethan plays, and a
series that takes them just as seriously as the Shakespeare canon
is very welcome. You'll find the same small design, ample font
size, enthusiastic historical/cultural context, full performance
history and munificent annotation. For students, actors and less
specialized lovers of Renaissance doings, these editions may become
the luxe choice. Leah S. Marcus' lively introduction situates it in
Jacobean London...Wonderful illustrations...I hope the series will
lure directors to stage these alluring plays."--"Plays
