The Two Noble Kinsmen, Revised Edition: Third Series

by William Shakespeare, Richard Proudfoot (Editor), Lois Potter (Editor), Ann Thompson (Editor), David Scott Kastan (Editor)

Overview

This tragi-comedy is one of the plays we know Shakespeare worked with a collaborator on — John Fletcher — and is based on Chaucer's Knight's Tale. This revised edition includes a new introductory essay bringing the edition up-to-date in terms of both the play's performance and critical history, and in particular with current thinking about the nature of Shakespeare's collaboration with other playwrights. As scholars have begun to discover more about this aspect of his career, interest in the play has grown. This revised edition is ideal for undergraduate study, offering on-page annotations to the play text as well as a lengthy, illustrated introduction.
