Publisher's Note
Always popular on the stage, Much Ado About Nothing 's history and range of theatrical interpretation is the special focus of this edition of The New Cambridge Shakespeare . The most famous actors, from the time of Garrick to the present, have appeared as the sparring lovers Beatrice and Benedick. In recent years, the play's matched plots of two pairs of lovers have been of great interest to feminists: the conventional lovers are nearly destroyed by male ideas of possessiveness and dominance, while the independent woman and her enlightened lover are strengthened by others' troubles. Mares' new edition of the play clarifies the problems of the Quarto, offers new readings of difficult passages, and preserves the light punctuation that presumably reflects Shakespeare's practice. A valuable introduction discusses the Claudio-Hero plot and annotated commentary explains the many sexual jokes that are otherwise obscured by Elizabethan language. Great pains have been taken to follow Shakespeare's intentions with regard to the act and scene division and the exact form of speech. The editing has been done from the quarto or folio texts, depending on which is considered more authoritative, and the ideal has been to reproduce the chosen texts with as few alterations as possible. In order to help the reader and student, the annotations have been arranged on the relevant pages, providing an easily accessible and indispensable source of information.
