Measure for Measure

Clowns and magistrates, nuns and prostitutes, saints and sinners-all take the stage in Measure for Measure, Shakespeare's provocative meditation on justice, law, and mercy. This modernized text, newly edited from the First Folio (1623), provides a complete record of textual notes and ample commentary. Concise and helpful appendices discuss language and rhetoric, sources and adaptations, the play in performance, and characters; they include a fully annotated bibliography of print and Internet sources. An accompanying website off ers additional resources: www.loyola.edu/measure. Through "Aperio Series: Loyola Humane Texts," Loyola College in Maryland publishes important and illuminating Humanities texts that have been edited, annotated, and/or translated by the College's students in collaboration with faculty. Students work with faculty to design and publish the texts. The texts are intended for all readers but should be of particular interest and use to college students and classes.
