Zusammenfassung:"A new edition of one of Shakespeare's most complex and enigmatic plays. This introduction provides an accessible account of key critical conversations around the play, from its genre of 'problem play' to its representation of the 'monstrous ransom', the vulnerability and freedom of unmarried women, and the disguise, surveillance, and authority of the Duke - Emma Whipday's introduction revisits Measure for Measure from the perspective of a post #MeToo world, exploring how the play examines sexual violence, corrupt patriarchal power, and female speech and silencing - Explores different readings of Measure for Measure through the performance choices directors and actors have made, from kneeling and unveiling to Isabella's famous silence - Combines fresh, new scholarship from leading researchers with authoritative texts and comprehensive notes in order to offer readers a complete guide to Shakespeare - Uses the text from the landmark The New Oxford Shakespeare: Modern Critical Edition collated from all surviving original versions of Shakespeare's work - Presented in modern spelling and punctuation with accessible critical apparatus to best aid understanding of the plays and poems."
