About this title

Review:

'Here in the elegant format emblematic of this collected edition ... is a play entitled King Edward III ... Giorgio Melchiori's introduction to the New Cambridge Edward III, together with the actual editorial presentation and appendix on the play's sources are models of learned scruple. What this superb edition compels us to keep asking is simply this: 'how did Shakespeare become Shakespeare?' Neither the history of literature nor of language provides a richer ground for wonder.' --George Steiner, The Observer

'Anyone who reads through Edward III with an open mind will, I believe, accept that the Shakespeare canon is permanently enlarged. It is an exhilarating experience.' --Contemporary Review

Book Description:

King Edward III is a major addition to the Shakespearean canon, published here for the first time in an authoritative edition of Shakespeare's works. Its editor, Gieorgio Melchiori, claims that Shakespeare is not the play's sole author but that he wrote a significant part of the text.
