My students loved reading and discussing the play and found the
extensive notes and introduction very helpful. Surprisingly, Titus
Andronicus is turning out to be a new students' favourite.

"This is an outstanding edition of Titus, especially for its
treatment of textual questions and of recent performance history.
It supersedes all previous editions." --Dr. Paul Hartle, St.
Catharine's College, Cambridge"Bate makes a really positive virtue
of his treatment of the play in performance . . . putting a
vigorous account of Titus on stage at very stage-centre in his
Introduction. Using this section as a means for raising fundamental
questions as to the play's style, coherence, and meaning, Bate
achieves a remarkable fusion between performance history and
criticism." --John Jowett, Shakespeare Survey
