The great English playwright William Shakespeare penned more than a dozen comedies. While their plots vary, they share certain common threads: unrestrained merriment, sometimes tinged with sadness, and remarkable characters who are bound together by their willpower, keen wit, desire for independence, and overwhelming love of life. These works range from romantic tales and charming adventures to comedies of errors and grotesque fables. But what makes them most interesting is their depiction of the whims of the human heart, which could be called the oddities of love.
This edition includes Shakespeare's most famous comedies: "The Taming of the Shrew," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Twelfth Night, or What You Will," "Much Ado About Nothing," and others.
The book is accompanied by classic illustrations by the 19th-century American artist Felix Darley.
