Overview

"One of the best editions for undergraduates. . . . All the editorial material is kept brief, unobtrusive, relevant, and crisp in style. The introduction is informative, sound, and suggestive rather than dogmatic. . . . [Van Fossen] is especially skillful in summarizing in a graceful and interesting manner the issues that have stirred critics and editors. . . . The whole publication seems almost perfect in design and presentation; it invites one to read the play." -Choice
