ISBN: 9780199535897 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 464 Published: 1 July 2008 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.8 x 13.5 x 2.5 Description: This innovative edition of one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays offers modernized texts not only of the 1599 quarto but also of the short, or "bad" quarto of 1597, regarding each as witness to a "mobile text" which changed in composition as Shakespeare wrote it and which has continued to evolve throughout its richly varied history, both in the theatre and in film, television, opera, and ballet.
