Both texts are modernised and edited to the highest standards of scholarship, with full on-page commentaries providing the depth of information and insight associated with all Arden editions. The comprehensive, illustrated introduction argues that the plays signal the birth of the early modern consciousness and puts them in their historic and religious contexts. An account is also given of the staging and performance history of the plays and their critical history and significance. The wealth of helpful and incisive commentary make this is the finest edition of the plays available.
