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 the
original Kittredge notes and introductions, changed or augmented only when
modernization is 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.
