Peter Holland is the McMeel Family Professor of Shakespeare Studies at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. He was Director of the Shakespeare Institute, Stratford upon Avon (1997-2002) and President of the Shakespeare Association of America (2007-8).This is a mighty powerhouse of a work: passionately outward-looking in its engagement with the play's afterlife in theatre, poetry and film ... Holland's style is delightfully engaging and inclusive ... This is a remarkable piece of scholarship, and an indispensable work for anyone wishing to understand <i>Coriolanus </i>better.
- Jane Kingsley-Smith, Roehampton University, UK, Around the Globe
Holland’s edition offers an idiosyncratic and entertaining version of <i>Coriolanus </i>that is suited to a play that poses relatively few textual problems, demonstrating that even a play that only exists in one early witness is reproduced differently in each edition, performance and re-reading ... The edition is a triumph of careful work, and testament to the importance of aligning theatrical, linguistic and historical approaches in the careful preparation of an edition.
- Peter Kirwan, UK, Editionen in der Kritik
This is a rich and creatively suggestive <i>Coriolanus </i>edition that does justice to the play as product of a complex social, stage, and literary history and as an equally complex cultural performance text.
- Barbara Correll, Cornell University, USA, Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen
Great introduction - strong on political context and topicality, and great treatment of the new Fiennes movie adaptation. The best modern edition of <i>Coriolanus </i>on the market.
- Matthew Woodcock, University of East Anglia, UK,

For over 125 years, The Arden Shakespeare has set the gold standard in annotated, scholarly editions of Shakespeare's plays. Each edition in The Arden Shakespeare Third Series offers a modernised 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.
Praise for the series:
"The gold standard for modern editorial scholarship." – Sixteenth Century Journal
"One of the best regarded scholarly editions of Shakespeare's plays." – The Times
"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
"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
"[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
