I am several books ahead of my reviews (should have The Merry Wives of Windsor for Friday), and have just finished Antony and Cleopatra. This means I am caught up with Arden's 3rd edition Critical Editions. Richard III is out at the end of the month, but it's only the beginning of the month!
Now, all is not lost. Arden is doing some non-Shakespeare critical editions. The Duchess of Malfi, out this month, is the first, and should be very interesting.
Also, there are... OTHER critical editions! Yes, there's Oxford and the New Cambridge series. So I will keep reading, using those two as I see fit, and base my thoughts off of them. I can always pick up the Ardens when they come out later.
So, a tentative schedule post-Arden:
Measure for Measure
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Romeo & Juliet
King John
The Comedy of Errors
The Taming of the Shrew
The Merchant of Venice
TBA
