The Winter's Tale is one of Shakespeare's most varied, theatrically
self-conscious, and emotionally wide-ranging plays. This 2007
edition provides a newly-edited text, a comprehensive introduction
that takes into account current critical thinking, and a detailed
commentary on the play's language designed to make it easily
accessible to contemporary readers. Much of the play's copiousness
inheres in its generic intermingling of tragedy, comedy, romance,
pastoral, and the history play. In addition to dates and sources,
the introduction attends to iterative patterns, the nature and
cause of Leontes' jealousy, the staging and meaning of the bear
episode, and the thematic and structural implications of the figure
of Time. Special attention is paid to the ending and its tempered
happiness. Performance history is integrated throughout the
introduction and commentary. Textual analysis, four appendices -
including the theatrical practice of doubling, and a select
chronology of performance history - and a reading list complete the
edition.
