What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Now available in beautiful World’s Classics editions–with handsome, four-color covers and new low prices–The Oxford Shakespeare offers new and authoritative edions of Shakespeare’s plays. In each volume, an introductory essay provides all relevant background information together with an appraisal of critical views and the play’s performance history. In addition, the detailed commentaries pay particular attention to the language and staging. These editions are perfect for all readers, whether actors needing stage directions, students desiring comprehensive (yet inobtrusive) notes, or the reader of classic literature returning to the Bard’s timeless writings. The most formally ambitious and poetically brilliant of Shakespeare’s tragedies, Anthony and Cleopatra is also one of his most critically contentious plays in terms of the degree and nature of its success. Always alert to the play’s theatricality and boldly experimental design, the wide-ranging introduction offers a fresh critical account of the play, exploring its paradoxical treatment of gender and identity as well as the rich complexity and tensions of its much-loved poetic language. With a generous appendix of Shakespeare’s source materials, this edition also offers a full stage history. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World’s Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford’s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
