The Arden Shakespeare has long been acclaimed as the established scholarly edition of Shakespeare's work. Now being totally reedited for the third time, Arden editions offer the very best in contemporary scholarship. Each volume provides a clear and authoritative text, edited to the highest standards; detailed textual notes and commentary on the same page of the text; full contextual, illustrated introduction, including an in-depth survey of critical and performance approaches to the play; and selected bibliography.

The Taming of the Shrew is one of the most famous and controversial of Shakespeare's comedies.

This edition of Much Ado About Nothing is part of the groundbreaking Cambridge School Shakespeare series established by Rex Gibson. Remaining faithful to the series' active approach it treats the play as a script to be acted, explored and enjoyed. As well as the complete script of the play, you will find a variety of classroom-tested activities, an eight-page colour section and a selection of notes including information on characters, performance, history and language.

The book presents a revolutionary approach to editing Shakespeare's plays, advocating for a method that embraces both authorial and theatrical versions without attempting to separate them. This perspective challenges traditional editing practices and encourages a more holistic understanding of Shakespeare's work, highlighting the fluidity and collaborative nature of theatrical performances.
