Measure For Measure: Measvre, For Measure: The First Folio of 1623 and a Parallel Modern Edition - Couverture souple
Synopsis
The Shakespeare Folios series - offering the absolute authenticity of the First Folio in a totally accessible form.
'A quite wonderful idea... So blindingly obvious, I can't understand why nobody had thought of it before. I will certainly use the texts myself' - Peter Hall
This edition accurately reproduces the text of the Shakespeare First Folio (1623), but in modern type. At a stroke the dust of ages is blown away and what Shakespeare actually intended is revealed to modern readers.
Now Shakespeareans everywhere - students, actors, directors - can see for themselves what the Folio really says.
As a further aid to understanding, on each opposing page the same text appears in a fully modernised version - a useful safety net whenever the Folio becomes problematic.
Each volume also contains:
- an introduction to the particular play
- textual notes
- an appendix giving variant versions from the Quarto where appropriate
- a facsimile page from the First Folio
