Description
Edited by the eminent A.R. Braunmuller, this thorough edition of King John --the first scholarly edition in almost fifteen years--makes a significant contribution to the study of Shakespeare's works. Braunmuller offers a wide-ranging critical introduction, which focuses on the play's political relevance in Elizabethan England, its relationship to legal issues of the day, its treatment of women and families, and its overall aesthetic importance in Shakespeare's early career. He also provides a richly detailed stage history, full annotations that are especially sensitive to the play's language and staging, and an ample bibliographical study of the Folio (1623) text.
The most comprehensive and up-to-date edition of King John currently available, this book is an invaluable resource for Shakespearean scholars, students, and theatergoers alike.

No por la escritura, que me parece excelente, sino por gusto personal no disfrute de la historia, para mí una tragedia sin sentido propia de otra época y que, en mi opinión, no ha envejecido bien.

Had to read it for schoolUpdate: I decided to finally reread this book in hopes that I would understand it a little bit more and I don't.
