'By far the best edition of King Lear - in respect of both textual and other matters - that we now have.'John Lyon, English Language Notes'This volume is a treasure-trove of precise information and stimulating comments on practically every aspect of the Lear-universe. I know of no other edition which I would recommend with such confidence: to students, professional colleagues and also the 'educated public'.'Dieter Mehl, Shakespeare Jahrbuch, vol 134

The text is taken from the Norton Critical Edition and includes a preface and footnotes by Byrus Hoy, professor emeritus at the University of Rochester. The preface speaks to the choice of text—primarily the second quarto with reliance on the folio as necessary—and places it in the context of its times and of the evolving criticism of the play.
Completing the 8 volume Everyman Signet Shakespeare contains Shakespeare series, this final volume contains Shakespeare's four Last Plays - The Tempest, Pericles, The Winter's Tale and Cymbeline. The beautifully produced, single-column text of the plays, with the Signet footnotes, is supplemented with bibliographies, a detailed chronology of Shakespear's life and times, and a substantial introduction in which Professor Tony Tanner discusses each play individually while setting each in context.
The Shakespearean Originals Series takes as its point of departure the question: "What is it that we read Shakespeare?" The answer may seem self-evident: we read the words that Shakespeare wrote. But do we? In the case of all the major editions of Shakespeare available in the market, the fact of the matter is that many of the words that we read in an edition of, say, Hamlet, never appeared in the text as it was printed during or shortly after Shakespeare's own lifetime. They are the interpetations and interpolations of a series of editors who have been systematically changing Shakespeare's text from the eighteenth century onwards. This volume offers the text of Measure for Measure, as printed in the 1623 First Folio.
These popular editions allow the reader and student to look beyond the scholarly reading text to the more sensuous, more collaborative, more malleable performance text which emerges in conjunction with the commentary and notes. Each note, each gloss, each commentary reflects the stage life of the play with constant reference to the challenge of the text in performance. Readers will not only discover an enlivened Shakespeare, they will be empowered to rehearse and direct their own productions of the imagination in the process.

The penultimate volume in the 8-volume Everyman Signet Shakespeare contains Shakespeare's later Comedies - THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, THE MERRY WIVES OF WINDSOR, MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING, AS YOU LIKE IT, TWELFTH NIGHT, ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL and MEASURE FOR MEASURE. The beautifully produced, single-column text of the plays, with the Signet footnotes, is supplemented with bibliographies, a detailed chronology of Shakespeare's life and times, and a substantial introduction in which Professor Tony Tanner discusses each play individually while setting each in content. The seven plays bought in Penguin would cost 23. 20, while the Cambridge and Oxford Classics editions cost 33. 25 and 27. 50 respectively.
Deutsch von Frank Günther Mit einem Essay von Ulrich Suerbaum ? Leben ist nur ein Wanderschattenspiel; ist eine Mär aus einem Tölpelmund, voll von Getön und Toben, und bedeutet nichts? So Macbeth im letzten Stadium des Überdrusses, kurz vor seiner Ermordung, die ihm willkommen ist wie eine Befreiung. Vorausgegangen ist ein beispielloses Spektakel von Machtgier, Verführung und Mord; Shakespeares kürzeste, konzentrierteste, eingängigste Tragödie. Drei Hexen prophezeien Macbeth, er werde einst König sein. Sogleich steigen Mordgedanken in ihm auf, die er vergeblich zu unterdrücken sucht. Bestärkt durch den blutigen Ehrgeiz seiner Frau Lady Macbeth, bringt er schließlich den amtierenden König Duncan im Schlaf um. Macbeth wird König, fürchtet aber weiterhin um seinen Rang. Nun muß der Feldherr Banquo dran glauben, dessen Geist bald darauf während eines Festmahles erscheint und Macbeth vollends verunsichert. Ein weiteres Mal sucht er die Hexen auf, die ihn in trügerischer Sicherheit wiegen: ? Keiner, den ein Weib gebar?, wird ihm je schaden. Doch das Unglaubliche geschieht: als Rächer tritt Macduff auf, der einst ?vor der Zeit aus dem Mutterleib geschnitten? ward. Macbeth, der nie die Anteilnahme des Zuschauers verloren hat, weil ihm seine Taten zu sehr auf der Seele lasten, geht unter, ebenso wie Lady Macbeth, die zuvor schon dem Wahnsinn verfallen war.

Halvin toimitettuna 9,90 €
Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M. A., Ph. D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. Much Ado About Nothing has long been celebrated as one of Shakespeare's most popular comedies. The central relationship, between Benedick and Beatrice, is wittily combative until love prevails. Broader comedy is provided by Dogberry, Verges and the watchmen. The drama ranges between the destructively sinister and the lyrically romantic, giving the whole a complex and sometimes problematic character. Numerous revivals, in the theatre and on screen, have displayed the lively variety and interpretative openness of this engaging comedy.

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M. A., Ph. D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. In the hope of saving her brother's life, should a woman submit to rape? Should the law be respected when its administrator is corrupt? How powerful in the state should religion become? Although Measure for Measure ends like a comedy, with reconciliations, forgiveness and marriages, it has often been regarded as one of Shakespeare's problem plays. The drama shows the difficulty of effecting an appropriate balance between judicial severity and mercy, between sexual repression and decadence, and between political vigilance and social manipulation. These problems remain topical, and, in Measure for Measure, they are given immediacy by vivid character-conflicts and memorably intense poetry. This is one of Shakespeare's most probing and powerful works.
The everyman Signet Shakespeare series continues with the first volume of Comedies containing The Comedy of Errors, The taming of the Shrew, The Two Gentlemen of Verona. It also includes Loves Labour's Lost, Romeo and Juliet (sic) and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
