The series features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems and an extensive introduction. The Winter's Tale is one of Shakespeare's most varied, theatrically self-conscious, and emotionally wide-ranging plays. Much of the play's copiousness inheres in its generic intermingling of tragedy, comedy, romance, pastoral, and the history play. In addition to dates and sources, the introduction attends to iterative patterns, the nature and cause of Leontes' jealousy, the staging and meaning of the bear episode, and the thematic and structural implications of the figure of Time. Special attention is paid to the ending and its tempered happiness. Performance history is integrated throughout the introduction and commentary. Appendices include the theatrical practice of doubling.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction: Genre and title\u003cbr\u003e Iterative patterns: sameness with a difference\u003cbr\u003e Leontes' jealousy in criticism and performance\u003cbr\u003e 'Exit pursued by a bear'\u003cbr\u003e The figure of Time\u003cbr\u003e Act 5 and the triumphs of Time\u003cbr\u003e The Winter's Tale's sense of an ending: happiness qualified\u003cbr\u003e Date\u003cbr\u003e Sources\u003cbr\u003e Note on the text\u003cbr\u003e List of characters\u003cbr\u003e The play\u003cbr\u003e Supplementary notes\u003cbr\u003e Textual analysis\u003cbr\u003e Appendices: A.
