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.
