According to Amazon.com, Measure for Measure, the final volume in the Arden 3 series, will be published in the US on November 14th. Although A.R. Braunmuller was originally the sole editor, the cover of the impending volume lists Braunmuller and Robert N. Watson as co-editors.
Amazon (and Arden) are perpetually optimistic with their publication dates. There have clearly been serious problems with Measure for Measure, and it is unlikely to be published this year. Otherwise, Arden would have concluded the series with All's Well That Ends Well (recently published.)
It is, of course, over three years since an over-enthusiastic newly appointed General Editor for Series 4 predicted here that Series 3 would be completed in 2016! Presumably none of us will live to see the completion of Series 4 (assuming it ever starts.)
