New OUP publication with many brilliant colleagues and essays by the NOS editors!
Thanks to Rory and Will for this beautiful volume!
I'm so delighted to share that the Oxford World’s Classics Arden of Faversham for which I wrote the Introduction now has a gorgeous cover! I was so honoured Professor Emma Smith invited me to write this piece. I've been working on this most excellent of domestic tragedies for 15 years and feel emotional that I got to share my thoughts on it with such a wide readership.
Look at that cover! ❤️❤️🔥

'I see a man's life is a tedious one.'
Set in Ancient Britain, Cymbeline is a play of deceit, disguise, banishment, and fidelity against the backdrop of a Roman invasion. When the King of Britain Cymbeline discovers his daughter's secret marriage, he banishes her husband to Rome, who then accuses Innogen of being unfaithful. Innogen must evade deadly plots and homicidal jealousy to restore her name. Long recognised as a response to James VI and I's project to unite England and Scotland, the play conjures ancient British history at a moment when that history was eroding, revealed as a medieval invention. This sense of historical endings is entangled with Cymbeline as a late play, and its numerous apparent callbacks across Shakespeare's career.

'Cry "havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war'
Set against the backdrop of a nation breaking out into civil war, Julius Caesar raises questions of governance, power, tyranny, and enslavement. This New Oxford Shakespeare edition situates these questions within the historical framework of the play's early history in theatre and print, as well as within its long performance history up to and including in the 21st century. The introduction examines the ways in which Roman history is deployed to justify and question political structures, both by Shakespeare and other writers, as well as the transition from historical sources to stage.
