Instructors and students worldwide welcomed the fresh scholarship lively and accessible introductions helpful marginal glosses and notes readable single-column format all designed in support of the goal of the Oxford text: to bring the modern reader closer than before possible to Shakespeares plays as they were first acted. Now under Stephen Greenblatts direction the editors have considered afresh each introduction and all of the apparatus to make the Second Edition an even better teaching tool.
