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. For this second
edition of Measure for Measure Angela Stock has written a new
introductory section that takes account of recent scholarly
criticism and important contemporary productions on stage and film.
The edition retains the text prepared by Brian Gibbons together
with his comprehensive introduction, in which he shows how the
play's critical reception and stage history varies from one period
to the next according to the prevailing social, moral and religious
issues of the day. Gibbons explores the thrilling experience of
watching the play in performance, with its shocking reversals and
surprises, great tragic poetry and exuberant comic prose. An
updated reading list completes the edition.
