"If you will laugh yourself into stitches, follow me." (Twelth night, Act 3, Scene 2)
These four gret comedies bring you William Shakespeare in delightful, homorous vein. He achieves his grestaest merriment in the mistaken identities of As you like it, the rollicking characters of Puck and Bottom in a A midsummer night's dream, the mischievous mixing of sexes in Twelfth night, and the artful magic of Prospero in the Tempest.
The Cambridge text has been used in this Pocket Book edition, complete and unexpurgated. J. Walker McSpadden has contributed a résumé of each plot. Glossaries have been provided to explain unusual words. The cast of characters of each play is illustrated by Frederick E. Banbery.
Each of these comedies is prefaced with an introduction by Mark Van Doren. This fine critic's appreciation of the separate plays will add immeasurably to the reader's enjoyment and understanding of William Shakespeare. |
