Description
Measure for Measure is a complex exploration of justice, mercy, and morality in a corrupt society. The play's strict moralistic deputy, Angelo, is given temporary power by the Duke, who disguises himself as a friar to witness the consequences of his actions.
The new Arden edition features a comprehensive introduction and commentary, exploring the recent shifts in interpretation and analysis of the play. The introduction examines the social foundations of these changes, their validity as readings of the text, and their impact on performance and interpretation.
This fully-illustrated edition provides a nuanced understanding of the play's exploration of topics such as love, marriage, sexuality, consent, mortality, religion, statecraft, and the role of theatre itself.
