Beschreibung
Shakespearean comedy has as much to do with the structure and movement of the drama as with the wit of its dialogue or the humour of its characters. In these four comedies there is a near-tragic crisis at which disaster or happiness may ensue but the overriding force of goodwill and the power of understanding love and generosity brings us through to a joyful conclusion. In comedy 'sweet are the uses of adversity' so that the most bitter circumstances - exile oppression unrequited love - can give rise to higher feelings of friendship respect sympathy and acceptance. In this collection of Shakespeare's four most spirited comedies each text comes complete with notes and an introduction making this edition of particular value to students scholars and theatre-goers.

Über den Autor
William Shakespeare was born to John Shakespeare and Mary Arden in late April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon. He wrote about 38 plays (the precise number is uncertain), many of which are regarded as the most exceptional works of drama ever produced, including Romeo and Juliet (1595), Henry V (1599), Hamlet (1601), Othello (1604), King Lear (1606) and Macbeth (1606), as well as a collection of 154 sonnets, which number among the most profound and influential love poetry in English. Shakespeare died in Stratford in 1616.
