Description
A young man is condemned to death for breaking a law that forbids sex outside marriage. When his sister pleads with Lord Angelo to save him, he offers her a bargain: her brother’s life in exchange for her virginity. One of Shakespeare’s most enigmatic plays, Measure for Measure is a morally complex drama of intricate moves and countermoves that explores falsehood, justice, and humanity’s best and basest instincts. The edition includes an introduction by Julia Briggs and a quotation from A. S. Byatt on Shakespeare’s use of language.
