The Winter's Tale Author: William Shakespeare

ISBN: 9780521293730 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 308 Published: 30 April 2007 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 22.8 x 15.2 x 1.5 Description: The Winter's Tale is one of Shakespeare's most varied, theatrically self-conscious, and emotionally wide-ranging plays.

This 2007 edition provides a newly-edited text, a comprehensive introduction that takes into account current critical thinking, and a detailed commentary on the play's language designed to make it easily accessible to contemporary readers.

Much of the play's copiousness inheres in its generic intermingling of tragedy, comedy, romance, pastoral, and the history play.

In addition to dates and sources, the introduction attends to iterative patterns, the nature and cause of Leontes' jealousy, the staging and meaning of the bear episode, and the thematic and structural implications of the figure of Time.

Special attention is paid to the ending and its tempered happiness. Performance history is integrated throughout the introduction and commentary. Textual analysis, four appendices - including the theatrical practice of doubling, and a select chronology of performance history - and a reading list complete the edition. <br/
