内容説明
This newly edited text of one of Shakespeare's most theatrically successful comedies offers a commentary and a critically aware introduction that discusses Shakespeare's social transformation of his source material. It rethinks the attitudes to gender relations that underlie the comedy and determine its view of marriage, paying particular attention to the analysis of the play's minor characters, Allowing for the play's openness to re-interpretation by successive generations of readers and performers, Zitner provides a socially analytic stage history, advancing new views for the actor as much as for the critic.

内容説明
This edition of one of Shakespeare's most delightful and theatrically successful comedies offers, along with a freshly edited text, a helpful and critical introduction and commentary. Paying particular attention in his introduction to analysis of the play's minor characters, Sheldon P. Zitner discusses Shakespeare's social transformation of his source material, rethinking the attitudes to gender relations that underlie the comedy and determine its ruefully optimistic view of marriage. Interpretations are advanced less because they are arguable than because they are actable. Allowing for the play's openness to re-interpretation by successive generations of readers and performers, the editor provides a socially analytic stage history. Full notes and commentary continue previous editors' work of clarifying textual and performance problems of interest to both readers and actors.
