Reviews

`The introduction is quite informative and sensible, the text accurate and handsome, the notes solicitous enough to sustain a beginning student and deep enough to support scholarly uses ... another good edition of the play: highly learned, handsome, accurate, and fair-minded.'
Robert N. Watson, Shakespeare Quarterly, Summer '93
'well-balanced, intelligent, and slightly detached from the play and its issues'
J.G. Saunders, Review of English Studies, Vol. 45, No. 177, Feb, 1994
