Measure for Measure: A Norton Critical Edition [Paperback]

The Norton Critical Edition is based on the 1623 First Folio text, the only authoritative edition of the play. The editor has modernized spelling but preserves, for the most part, the original lineation and characteristically heavy punctuation. The text ofThis Norton Critical Edition looks at the full range of opinion and interpretation of this major play from its origins to the present day, from its genius (William Hazlitt) to its being a hateful work, although Shakespearean throughout (Samuel Taylor Coleridge), and beyond.
