Love''s Labour''s Lost, the first work to bear Shakespeare''s name
on its title page, differs greatly from his other early plays both
for its highly unorthodox ending and its extraordinary use of
language. This new edition presents a highly readable, modernised
text of the play, freshly edited from the first quarto published in
1598. A thorough but concise scholarly and critical commentary
provides exciting new perspectives on Love''s Labour''s Lost, and a
comprehensive introduction discusses the significant elements of
the play and its place in theatrical history. New critical trends
are reflected in the special attention paid to the play''s
performance history since 1950, including films and adaptations,
with illustrations of several productions. Engaging and
illuminating, this will be an invaluable guide for seasoned
scholars as well as students approaching the play for the first
time.
