The text of Measure for Measure is accompanied by a full introduction, a note on the text, textual variants, and related illustrations.Sources considers the probable, primary, and analogous sources Shakespeare drew upon while composing Measure for Measure, including excerpts from G. B. Giraldi Cinthios Hecatommithi and The Tragedy of Epitia, King James Is Basilikon Doron, and-most directly-George Whetstones The History of Promos and Cassandra.Criticism collects seventeen important commentaries on Measure for Measure spanning four centuries, including, among others, those by Alexander Pope, Charlotte Lennox, Samuel Johnson, Elizabeth Inchbald, A. C. Bradley, G. Wilson Knight, Jonathan Dollimore, and Marliss C.
