About this book
Creators: William Shakespeare (1564-1616), William George Clark (1821-1878) [Editor], and Cambridge librarian of Trinity College John Glover [Editor] "Measure for Measure" by William Shakespeare is a play written in 1603 or 1604. When Duke Vincentio leaves Vienna, he appoints the strict Angelo as deputy ruler. Angelo revives an old law punishing fornication with death and sentences young Claudio to execution. When Claudio's sister Isabella, a novice nun, pleads for mercy, Angelo makes a shocking proposal: her virginity in exchange for her brother's life. Meanwhile, the Duke secretly remains in the city, disguised as a friar, observing the unfolding corruption and preparing his own interventions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
