For over 125 years, The Arden Shakespeare has been at the forefront of Shakespeare studies, publishing scholarly editions of the full range of Shakespeare’s works in the Third Series and now the Fourth Series which launched in May 2026, edited and annotated by world-leading experts. Alongside these primary works we publish cutting-edge critical studies and guides for students, lecturers and researchers, providing insight not only into the work and world of Shakespeare but also of his Early Modern contemporaries more broadly. We also publish editions of Shakespeare’s plays and accompanying guides that are designed specifically for actors and directors in our Performance Editions and Performance Companions series.
