The general editors of the new series of forty volumes - the renowned Shakespeareans Stephen Orgel of Stanford University and A.R. Braunmuller of UCLA - have assembled a team of six eminent scholars who have, along with the general editors themselves, prepared new introductions and notes to all of Shakespeare's plays and poems. Redesigned in an easy-to-read format that preserves the favorite features of the original, including an essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare, an introduction to the individual play and a note on the text used. The new Pelican Shakespeare will be an excellant resource for students, teachers, and theater professionals well into the twentieth century.
