Book excerpt: The Taming of the Shrew Robust and bawdy, The Taming of the Shrew captivates audiences with outrageous humor as Katharina, the shrew, engages in a contest of wills–and love–with her bridegroom, Petruchio, in a comedy of unmatched theatrical brilliance, filled with visual gags and witty repartee. A Midsummer Night's Dream Fairy magic, love spells, and an enchanted wood turn the mismatched rivalries of four young lovers into a marvelous mix-up of desire and enchantment, all touched by Shakespeare’s inimitable vision of the intriguing relationship between dreams and the waking world. The Merchant of Venice This dark comedy of love and money contains one of the truly mythic figures in literature–Shylock, the Jewish moneylender. The “pound of flesh” he demands as payment of Antonio’s debt has become a universal metaphor for vengeance. Here, pathos and farce combine with moral complexity and romantic entanglements, to display the extraordinary power and range of Shakespeare at his best. Twelfth Night Set in a topsy-turvy world like a holiday revel, this comedy juxtaposes a romantic plot involving separated twins and mistaken identity with a more satiric one about the humiliation of a pompous killjoy. The hilarity is touched with melancholy, and the play ends, not with laughter, but with a clown’s plaintive song. Each Edition Includes: • Comprehensive explanatory notes • Vivid introductions and the most up-to-date scholarship • Clear, modernized spelling and punctuation, enabling contemporary readers to understand the Elizabethan English • Completely updated, detailed bibliographies and performance histories • An interpretive essay on film adaptations of the play, along with an extensive filmography

Book excerpt: Twelfth Night, or What You Will is a comedy by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written around 1601–02 as a Twelfth Night's entertainment for the close of the Christmas season. The play centres on the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are separated in a shipwreck. Viola (who is disguised as a boy) falls in love with Duke Orsino, who in turn is in love with the Countess Olivia. Upon meeting Viola, Countess Olivia falls in love with her thinking she is a man. The play expanded on the musical interludes and riotous disorder expected of the occasion, with plot elements drawn from the short story "Of Apollonius and Silla" by Barnabe Rich, based on a story by Matteo Bandello. The first recorded performance was on 2 February 1602, at Candlemas, the formal end of Christmastide in the year's calendar. The play was not published until its inclusion in the 1623 First Folio.

Book excerpt: Twelfth Night is a comedy in five acts written by William Shakespeare. This play was written about 160002 and printed in 1623. Regarded by many as one of Shakespeares finest comedies, Twelfth Night appeared before the playwright went on to pen several tragedies and serious plays. Play begins with the scene in which Sebastian and Viola, the twins, are separated during a shipwreck. Each one believes the other dead. Viola disguises herself as a boy named Cesario and enters the service of Duke Orsino, who thinks he is in love with the lady Olivia. Orsino sends Viola-Cesario to plead his cause to Olivia, who promptly falls in love with the messenger. Viola, meanwhile, is in love with Orsino, and, when her twin, Sebastian, is rediscovered, many comic situations of mistaken identity ensue. Twelfth Night deals with some serious themes and various forms of love, romantic, family and even the love of love are all presented. At the same time, there is the question of appearance and reality which is shown through the actions of Olivias steward Malvolio.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Comedy of Twelfth Night, or What You Will: With Illustrations Among the passengers on board a ship wrecked in the Adriatic were Sebastian and Viola, twin children of a rich citizen of Messa lina. Born in the same hour, brother and sister had grown up in the tenderest mutual love and - what is stranger - in such likeness of feature that, if they exchanged clothes, you could not tell youth from maiden. Nor had they ever been parted until the sea thus cruelly severed them. When the vessel split, Viola managed to cling to a boat which with a few survivors - the Captain amongst them - came safely to shore. What coast is this?' she inquired of the sailors. 'this is Illyria, lady.' Her thoughts rushed back to her brother, and she begged them to tell her if there were any chance of his being safe. 'there is this chance, ' answered the Captain at the last moment I saw him take rope and bind himself very coolly and bravely to a stout spar, and upon this he was a oat and alive while from our boat I could keep him in sight.' Even for this hope Viola was so grateful that she pressed money into the man's hand. 'do you know this country?' 'i know it well, madam; for I was born and bred scarcely three hours' journey from this very spot.' She asked by whom it was governed? The Captain told her, by a noble Duke, Orsino a bachelor and a love-sick one, for he had fixed his afi'ec tions on a fair lady who would have none of him, and indeed had abjured the society and sight of all men save those of her own household. The name of this lady was the Countess Olivia, and she thus cloistered herself in sorrow for the loss of a brother, lately dead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named for the twelfth night after Christmas, the end of the Christmas season, Twelfth Night plays with love and power. The Countess Olivia, a woman with her own household, attracts Duke (or Count) Orsino. Two other would-be suitors are her pretentious steward, Malvolio, and Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Onto this scene arrive the twins Viola and Sebastian; caught in a shipwreck, each thinks the other has drowned. Viola disguises herself as a male page and enters Orsino's service.
