Set in a courtly world of masked revels and dances, this play turns on the archetypal story of a lady falsely accused of unfaithfulness, spurned by her bridegroom, and finally vindicated and reunited with him. Villainy, schemes, and deceits threaten to darken the brilliant humor and sparkling wordplay–but the hilarious counterplot of a warring couple, Beatrice and Benedick, steals the scene as the two are finally tricked into admitting their love for each other in Shakespeare’s superb comedy of manners.

Each Edition Includes:
� Comprehensive explanatory notes
� Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship
� Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English
� Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories
� An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography

Book Description:

A revised edition of the Arden Third Series play, edited by leading scholar Claire McEachern.

From the Back Cover:

Great pains have been taken to follow Shakespeare's intentions with regard to the act and scene division and the exact form of speech. The editing has been done from the quarto or folio texts, depending on which is considered more authoritative, and the ideal has been to reproduce the chosen texts with as few alterations as possible. In order to help the reader and student, the annotations have been arranged on the relevant pages, providing an easily accessible and indispensable source of information.
