[From back cover] The purpose of this book is to provide an edition of this classic play, suitable for students in senior forms in schools, colleges and universities. The author presents an accurate and reliable text, as close as possible to the original; he also makes the play more easily understood by examining the imaginative processes which are at work in it, and the framework of ideas within which it is set. The notes are intended to perform several functions : to justify the text when the author has departed from the original, or when, at first sight, a different version might seem preferable; to give information about unusual or obsolete expressions; to provide commentary and critical revaluation for difficult passages.
