Product Details
This volume contains four of William Shakespeare's Comedies:
The Taming of the Shrew
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Twelfth Night
The Tempest
From the back cover: "Reading these plays, we sample the whole comic spectrum of the Elizabethan world—from the satiric comedy that portrays a world of people whose unreasonable behavior is ludicrous and in need of reform to the romantic comedy that takes us into a dreamlike holiday world whose inhabitants, for all their folly, are still endearing characters. And to give these plays more meaning for the modern reader, this edition includes the following special features:
An Introduction by Sylvan Barnet, general editor of the Signet Classic Shakespeare series and Professor of English at Tufts University
Reliable texts by noted Shakespeare scholars
Texts printed in the clearest, most readable type
Name of each speaker given in full
Detailed footnotes at the bottom of each page keyed to the numbered lines of the text
