The play is an eighteenth century rewrite of Shakespeares \"lost\" play Cardenio and as such is a fascinating testament to the original. A short introduction outlines its complex textual history and the arguments for including it within the Shakespeare canon. The Complete Works contains the texts of all Shakespeares plays  poems and sonnets  edited by leading Shakespeare scholars for the renowned Arden series. A general introduction gives the reader an overall view of how and why Shakespeare has become such an influential cultural icon  and how perceptions of his work have changed in the intervening four centuries. The introduction summarises the known facts about the dramatists life  his reading and use of sources  and the nature of theatrical performance during his lifetime. Brief introductions to each play  written specially for this volume by the Arden General Editors  discuss the date and contemporary context of the play  its position within Shakespeares oeuvre  and its subsequent performance history. An extensive glossary explains vocabulary which may be unfamiliar to modern readers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665791737909,"sku":"ByrdShop_1408152010","price":83.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781408152010.jpg?v=1782407467","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-arden-shakespeare-complete-works-9781408152010","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
