This book is based on an edition first published in 1908 and contains not only the play written by William Shakespeare, but a wealth of other information. There is an extensive introduction by Henry Hudson, explaining, amongst other things: the sources that Shakespeare drew on, the date of composition, early editions of the play, analysis by act and scene, the versification and diction, the characters and a chronological chart of Shakespeare's life. The text itself is presented with copious numbers of footnotes, some show text variants and others are editors notes. This edition also contains two indexes, the first referencing words and phrases in the text, and the second referencing quotations from Plutarch, who was thought to be the main source that Shakespeare used for this play. This book is a great resource for the reader intent on gaining a detailed understanding of this great work by Shakespeare.
