The New Cambridge Shakespeare appeals to students worldwide for its
up-to-date scholarship and emphasis on performance. The series
features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays
and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of
new critical, stage and screen interpretations. Edited and
introduced by Martin Butler, this first New Cambridge Shakespeare
edition of Cymbeline takes full account of the critical and
historical scholarship produced in the late twentieth century. It
foregrounds the romance, tragicomedy and Jacobean stagecraft that
shape the play and offers a refreshingly unsentimental reading of
the heroine, Innogen. Butler pays greater attention than his
predecessors to the politics of 1610, especially to questions of
British union and nationhood. He also offers a lively account of
Cymbeline's stage history from 1610 to the present day. The text
has been edited from the 1623 Folio and features a detailed
commentary on its linguistic and historical features.
