About this title

Synopsis

Discover the scholarly edition of a pivotal Restoration-era work—carefully edited and annotated for modern readers.

This volume presents the old play upon which Shakespeare built his famous comedy, reprinted from historic editions and collated with later copies to show how the text evolved. Edited by Thomas Amyot, the edition includes a detailed introduction, textual notes, and companion material that illuminate the play’s origins and the history of its publication.

This edition offers:

A meticulously prepared text drawn from the earliest editions, with scholarly notes and historical context.
Editorial apparatus explaining textual variants and the play’s performance history.
An Appendix, including an old humorous poem connected to the main plot, alongside a separate introduction by a fellow editor.
Facsimile elements and careful reproductions that preserve the look and feel of the original editions.

Ideal for readers of early English drama, Shakespeare scholars, and students who want a window into the origins and reception of this enduring work.

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
