The Merry Wives of Windsor

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 some modernization seems 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.

Reviews:

“Wells does truly admirable work in her edition of The Merry Wives of Windsor . . . [her edition] will be wonderfully informative and illuminating for undergraduates, graduate students, and educated readers alike.
     "Wells provides wonderful discussions of the play’s performance history and its film history . . . [as well as] a masterful discussion of how to read the play as performance.”
      —W. Reginald Rampone Jr., South Carolina State University, in Sixteenth Century Journal
