Twelfth Night

The Arden Shakespeare, founded in the 1890 s, has, with a continuing process of revision, established itself as the standard scholarly edition of Shakespeare's works. Each play appears in a separate volume with critical notes, apparatus, appendices giving extracts from the relevant sources, and a full introduction. For the general reader and for students who want something more substantial than school texts or a onevolume Shakespeare, the Arden edition, edited to the highest standards of modern scholarship, has continued to prove invaluable.

The general editors of the series are Harold F. Brooks, Emeritus Professor of English in the University of London;

Harold Jenkins, Emeritus Professor of English in the University of Edinburgh; and Brian Morris, Professor of English in the University of Sheffield.
