A balanced editorial approach, a highly respected editor, and comprehensive glosses, footnotes, and historical and cultural essays make this the most reader-friendly introduction to Shakespeare available today. The seventh edition of this comprehensive anthology addresses the two key issues confronted by readers approaching Shakespeare today: a lack of knowledge about the historical period and difficulty with the language of Shakespeare's plays. A richly illustrated general introduction offers insight into Shakespeare's England and background on the literary and cultural contexts in which Shakespeare wrote and produced plays. Each play is introduced by a descriptive essay designed to help the reader appreciate the cultural contexts and interpretive issues raised by the play -- without dictating their interpretations. Thoroughly revised and updated notes and glosses provide additional support to understanding the language of Shakespeare's time. 0321902599 / 9780321902597 The Complete Works of Shakespeare with NEW MyLiteratureLab with eText -- Access Card Package Package consists of: 0205891284 / 9780205891283 NEW MyLiteratureLab with eText -- Valuepack Access Card 0321886518 / 9780321886514 Complete Works of Shakespeare, The
