The Arden Shakespeare editions of the plays under consideration are the most valuable texts, since they provide voluminous footnotes, summarizing the research compactly in its most up-to-date version. The introductions are also quite useful.

For secondary material on
Measure for Measure
, I found 2 articles especially helpful, from the
20th-Century Interpretations
Series, George L. Geckle, Ed., Prentice-Hall Inc., Englewood Cliffs, N.J: 1970:
Caputi, Anthony, “‘Scenic Design in
Measure for Measure
,”’ pp 86-97.
Fergusson, Fraacis, “‘Philosophy and Theater in
Measure for Measure
,”’ pp 73-85.
Both articles discuss the play from the point of view of Theater, rather than literature, offering insights into its problem as a dramatic text.
