Measure for Measure generates much debate and is strikingly modern in its treatment of justice, the limits of authority, surveillance, sexual politics and gender identity. Stuart Hampton-Reeves's engaging introductory guide to the play offers a fresh analysis of its theatrical and literary life. The Handbook provides a moment-by-moment theatrically aware commentary, leading the reader through the text and what may happen on stage. It also includes: studies of outstanding and influential productions, a chapter on film and TV adaptations, a broad survey of the major critical approaches, helpful contextual documents and original source material. This book is a stimulating resource, as well as an approachable introduction to one of Shakespeare's most troubling and complex plays. Book jacket.
