1981, American hardcover edition (published simultaneously in London and New Jersey), Barnes & Noble Books, NJ. 266 pages. A very nicely produced title, except for the explanatory notes throughout (which are in tiny type). "Represents a new vein in the scholarship of English drama. The production of Richard III by Shakespeare, the major developments in the play's diverse and spectacular stage history, are traced in the introduction and annotations to this edition." Beautifully done. The appendix includes Richard's Seven New Soliloquies in Cibber's version.

Book Description:
John Dover Wilson's New Shakespeare, published between 1921 and 1966, became the classic Cambridge edition of Shakespeare's plays and poems until the 1980s. The series, long since out-of-print, is now reissued. Each work contains a lengthy and lively introduction, main text, and substantial notes and glossary.
About the Author:
Kenneth Branagh, a leading figure in film, TV and on stage, is equally at home with classic and contemporary subjects. However, as director and adaptor, he has made a particular contribution to Shakspearean performance with his films such as Much Ado About Nothing, Henry V, Hamlet, Othello and Love's Labour's Lost. His recording of Richard III is the first for Naxos AudioBooks.
