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 Titus Andronicus Sue Hall-Smith has written a new
section on recent scholarship and important contemporary
performances of the play. The edition retains the text prepared by
Alan Hughes, based on the first quarto and supplemented by crucial
additions and stage directions from the Folio. In the introduction,
Hughes contradicts the historically popular view that Titus
Andronicus is a poor play of dubious authorship. Joining the
growing ranks of critics who take the play seriously, Hughes
applauds its thematic unity and grim humour, and demonstrates that
it is the work of a brilliant stage craftsman, confident in his
mastery of space, movement and verse.
