The Arden Shakespeare, founded in the 1890s, has, with a continuing process of revision, established itself as the standard scholarly edition of Shakespeare’s works. Each play appears in a separate volume with critical notes, apparatus, appendices giving extracts from the relevant sources, and a full introduction. For the general reader and for the students who want something more substantial than school texts or a one-volume Shakespeare, the the highest standards of the Arden edition, edited modern scholarship, has continued to prove invaluable.
