Description
This Norton Critical Edition of Antony and Cleopatra is based on the First Folio (1623), providing an authoritative text of the play. The edition includes detailed explanatory annotations, maps, and visuals that offer insight into the historical context of Shakespeare's work.
The volume also features a rich selection of sources, including texts by Herodotus, Plutarch, and Virgil, as well as early modern English views on Egyptians, gypsies, and women that influenced Shakespeare's writing. A wide range of criticism is represented, from the 17th century to recent essays, offering four centuries of interpretation.
Additionally, this edition includes alternative versions of Antony and Cleopatra's story, such as a burlesque version by F.C. Burnand and an Arabic translation by Ahmad Shawqi. A Selected Bibliography is also included for further reading.
