The series features line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems. Introductions are regularly refreshed with accounts of new critical, stage and screen interpretations. For this second edition of Titus Andronicus Sue Hall-Smith has written a new section on recent scholarship and important contemporary performances of the play. The edition retains the text prepared by Alan Hughes, based on the first quarto and supplemented by crucial additions and stage directions from the Folio. In the introduction, Hughes contradicts the historically popular view that Titus Andronicus is a poor play of dubious authorship. Joining the growing ranks of critics who take the play seriously, Hughes applauds its thematic unity and grim humour, and demonstrates that it is the work of a brilliant stage craftsman, confident in his mastery of space, movement and verse.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eList of illustrations\u003cbr\u003e Preface\u003cbr\u003e List of abbreviations and conventions\u003cbr\u003e Introduction: Date\u003cbr\u003e Sources\u003cbr\u003e Authorship\u003cbr\u003e Early stage history\u003cbr\u003e The Longleat manuscript\u003cbr\u003e From the Restoration to the nineteenth century\u003cbr\u003e Twentieth-century performance and criticism\u003cbr\u003e Recent stage, film and critical interpretations by Sue Hall-Smith\u003cbr\u003e Note on the text\u003cbr\u003e List of characters\u003cbr\u003e The Play\u003cbr\u003e Textual analysis\u003cbr\u003e Appendix 1.
