Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

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.”
