MEASURE FOR MEASURE - WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE KARTO...

When Claudio breaks the new laws against vice in Vienna by getting his fiancee  Julietta 
pregnant  a series of ethical issues is brought under scrutiny. His sister's virtue is held to
ransom by the deputy ruler of the city until justice is done  mercy shown  and order restored.
This is among Shakespeare's most vivid dramatic projections of moral duplicity. The
introduction discusses the origins of his treatment of the well-known story and examines his
sources. The editor also sets the play in its historical context and offers the most
comprehensive available account of the text's theatrical life form Restoration adaptations to
present-day productions.
