Description
George Lyman Kittredge’s insightful editions of Shakespeare have endured in part because of his eclecticism, his diversity of interests, and his wide-ranging accomplishments—all of which are reflected in the valuable notes in each volume. The plays in the New Kittredge Shakespeare series retain their original Kittredge notes and introductions, changed or augmented only when some modernization seems necessary. These new editions also include introductory essays by contemporary editors, notes on the plays as they have been performed on stage and film, and additional student materials.
Audience
Appropriate for all level of Shakespeare courses, including courses on Shakespeare, or drama, or Renaissance drama as taught in departments of English, courses in Shakespeare or drama taught in departments of theater, Great Books programs where individual volumes might be used, or high school level courses.
About the Author

California. He completed his PhD at the Shakespeare Institute of the University
of Birmingham, England.
Review
Professor Jeffrey Kahan’s expertise in the history of Shakespearean
acting complements Kittredge’s lucid [introduction and text] to create an
edition of Coriolanus that centers modern readers in the play’s
performance. Kahan’s introduction to the edition both recounts historical
performances and carefully details recent directorial choices—choices that
reappear in the course of his footnotes providing acting choices for key
scenes. These notes, together with photographs of compelling performances, fix
the reader’s imagination firmly in the midst of Shakespeare’s chilling
theatrical portrayal of Republican Rome. This highly accessible edition will
prove invaluable for actors, students, and lovers of Shakespeare.
