The Arden edition of Shakespeare's poetry, introduced by a leading Shakespeare scholar and including detailed annotation of these non-dramatic works
William Shakespeare (1564-1616) was an English dramatist, poet, and actor, generally regarded as the greatest playwright of all time. Henry Woudhuysen is Rector of Lincoln College, Oxford, UK. Katherine Duncan-Jones was Professor of Early Modern English at Somerville College, University of Oxford, UK. Publications include Shakespeare's Sonnets (The Arden Shakespeare, 1997) and the critically acclaimed biography Shakespeare: An Ungentle Life (The Arden Shakespeare, 2010).
Duncan-Jones and Woudhuysen are winning advocates for the poems’
verbal attractiveness, formal sophistication, and intellectual
dexterity.
*The New Criterion*
Shakespeare scholars will be indebted to the editors not only for
fine textual and editorial work but also for a number of astute
interpretations.
*Project Muse (2009)*
The most insightful, thorough and authoritive account of
Shakespeare's great narrative poems that you can imagine.
*Gregory Doran, Associate Director, Royal Shakespeare Company*
My students find the Arden editions very helpful when approaching
Shakespeare, especially the less known texts. This edition of the
poems is made wonderully accessible through the intro, appendix and
notes.
