Antony and Cleopatra（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　For this updated edition, David Bevington has included in his
introductory section a thorough consideration of recent critical
and stage interpretations of Antony and Cleopatra, demonstrating
how the theatrical design and imagination of this play make it one
of Shakespeare’s most remarkable tragedies. The edition is
attentive throughout to the play as theatre: a detailed,
illustrated account of the stage history is followed, in the
commentary, by discussion of staging options offered by the text.
The commentary is especially full and helpful, untangling many
obscure words and phrases, illuminating sexual puns, and alerting
the reader to Shakespeare’s shaping of his source material in
Plutarch’s Lives. This is a scholarly edition, but its scholarship
is not intrusive: it will also satisfy those approaching the play
for the first time. An updated reading list completes the
edition.
