Case (1909–1944). [4] The text of The Arden Shakespeare, First series, was based on the 1864 "Globe" or Cambridge edition of Shakespeare's Complete Works, edited by William George Clark and John Glover, [5] as revised in 1891–93. [6] The Arden Shakespearehas long set the gold standard in annotated, scholarly editions of Shakespeare's plays. Each Arden edition in the Third Series offers a modernized text with comprehensive commentary notes glossing meanings, discussing staging issues and explaining literary allusions, together with a lengthy, illustrated introduction by a leading scholar exploring the play's critical, theatrical and historical contexts.

[17] Arden Early Modern Drama [ edit ] For over a hundred years, The Arden Shakespeare, in its first, second and third series, has set the gold standard for editing and publication of Shakespeare’s plays. Now, as Arden three nears completion, it is time to start all over again. Bloomsbury Academic, now Arden’s publishers, have begun the process of planning and commissioning the Arden fourthseries by appointing Holland, Lesser, and Stern as general editors. The general editors’ task over the months and years ahead is to imagine what a Shakespeare edition for the twenty-first century will be like, and how best to present high-quality textual scholarship in the digital age. The first volumes will appear in the 2020s and the whole should be finished about a quarter century from now! The third series of The Arden Shakespeare began to be edited during the 1980s, with publication starting in the 1995 and concluding in 2020. The batch of plays that launched the series was especially notable for the edition by Jonathan Bate of Titus Andronicus, which played a major role in rehabilitating the critical reputation of Shakespeare's earliest tragedy.

In 2009, The Arden Shakespeare launched a companion series, entitled "Arden Early Modern Drama". The series follows the formatting and scholarly style of The Arden Shakespeare third series, but shifts the focus onto less well-known English Renaissance playwrights, primarily the Elizabethan, Jacobean, and Caroline periods (although the plays Everyman and Mankind hail from the reign of King Henry VII). One of the landmark publishing ventures of our time ... The care for standards, and meticulous attention to detail ... have made the Arden Shakespeare one of the great achievements of modern literary scholarship." – The New Criterion The general editors for this series were Richard Proudfoot; Ann Thompson of King's College London; David Scott Kastan of Yale University; and H. R. Woudhuysen of the University of Oxford. Editions that have been revised since first publication are marked with the year of revised publication in the 'Year' column.The general editors for this series are Suzanne Gossett of Loyola University Chicago; John Jowett of the Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham; and Gordon McMullan of King's College London. Arden 3 stands as a book of memory and of aspiration, a record of our progress as a field and a profession, and a reminder of how much further we have to go ... Editorial practices developed in the Third Series established a precedent for innovation and discipline while producing texts that engaged readers with the most exciting advances of early modern textual studies." – Shakespeare Survey The works of Shakespeare: London, Methuen [1899–1930]. Arden Shakespeare. Stanford University Library. 1899 . Retrieved May 4, 2016.

[10]The third series is also notable for publishing single-volume editions of certain plays that traditionally form part of the so-called Shakespeare Apocrypha, but for which there is considered good evidence of Shakespeare having at least been co-author. Three apocryphal plays were published in this manner.

A] priceless contribution to Shakespeare studies ... The Arden editions, attractively produced and increasingly weighty, have become, so to speak, the market standard, the first port of call for students and academics alike." – SEDERI, Yearbook of the Spanish and Portuguese Society for English Renaissance Studies Deliyannides, Andrew.
