"Adding entirely new annotations to the text, providing a lucid overview of the play's production history, concluding with an instructive essay on a theatrical understanding of reading plays, and illustrated with suggestive film stills throughout, Kathleen Kalpin Smith's All's Well that Ends Well is a welcome edition to the New Kittredge Shakespeare series, richly setting the play in the context of stage and screen performance."—W. B. Worthen, Barnard College, Columbia UniversityGeorge Lyman Kittredge’s insightful editions of Shakespeare have endured in part because of this eclecticism, his diversity of interests, and his wide-ranging accomplishments—all of which are reflected in the valuable notes in each volume. The plays in the New Kittredge Shakespeare series retain the original Kittredge notes and introductions, changed or augmented only when some modernization seems necessary. These new editions also include introductory essays by contemporary editors, notes on the plays as they have been performed on stage and film, and additional student materials.These plays are being made available by Focus Publishing with the permission of the Kittredge heirs.Kathleen Kalpin Smith is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of South Carolina Aiken. She received her Ph.D. and M.A. in English from the University of California at Davis.
