About Measure for Measure: The New Oxford Shakespeare

‘Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.’Can one life be measured against another? Can a woman’s body be measured against a man’s life? Can consensual sex be measured against rape? Measure for Measure explores these questions through a series of Angelo deputises for the Duke, who disguises himself to spy on his subjects; corrupt Angelo demands that almost-nun Isabella gives her body in exchange for her brother’s life; and the Duke substitutes living bodies and decapitated heads to bring about a ‘happy ending’ in this problematic comedy. Exploring corrupt power, state surveillance, and the silencing of women by powerful men, Measure for Measure continues to resonate today.The New Oxford Shakespeare offers authoritative editions of Shakespeare’s works with introductory materials designed to encourage new interpretations of the plays and poems. Using the text from the landmark The New Oxford Shakespeare Complete Modern Critical Edition , these volumes offer readers the latest thinking on the authentic texts (collated from all surviving original versions of Shakespeare’s work) alongside innovative introductions from leading scholars.
