Description

This freshly edited text of one of Shakespeare's most delightful and theatrically successful comedies offers an exceptionally helpful commentary, and a critically aware Introduction that discusses Shakespeare's social transformation of his source material, and rethinks the attitudes to gender relations that underlie the comedy and determine its ruefully optimistic view of marriage.
