Editionen in der Kritik
Inaugurated in the 1860s and the standard reference edition of Shakespeare's work, the New Variorum Edition of Shakespeare continues the tradition of the original Variorum editions of the early nineteenth century. The latest edition, The Winter's Tale, not only contains the complete text of the play but also presents the expanse of scholarly opinion and interpretation from the earliest commentary to the present. It covers dating, sources, and emendations to stage history and influential interpretations of particular words.
New Variorum editions are valuable resources for an international audience of scholars, students, directors, actors, and general readers. Overseen by two general editors and an MLA committee, the production of each edition is conducted by a team of scholars and researchers working over a number of years. Recent publications in the series include As You Like It (ed. Richard Knowles) and Anthony and Cleopatra (ed. Marvin Spevack).
This Variorum volume includes a free CD that contains the contents as PDFs with internal links for easy navigation and is fully text-searchable.
