  • &&LB&&RContextualizing Essays&&L/B&&R Essays on Shakespeare's England, language, and life, along with essays on performing Shakespeare and significant performances frame the play in both historical and theatrical context for readers. A look at the lasting influence of the play on music, art, film, and dance creates an interdisciplinary framework with which to approach the play.
  • &&LB&&RBetter Notes&&L/B&&R Through one-word margin definitions, facing-page glosses, and longer end notes after the play, our innovative approach to notes pulls readers away from the text fewer times while providing them with more information and comprehensive analysis.
  • &&LB&&RFurther Reading&&L/B&&R An annotated bibliography of titles, hand-selected by the introduction author, takes readers beyond the edition for further reading.
