Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Much Ado About Nothing, Shakespeare includes two quite different stories of romantic love. Hero and Claudio fall in love almost at first sight, but an outsider, Don John, strikes out at their happiness. Beatrice and Benedick are kept apart by pride and mutual antagonism until others decide to play Cupid.Much Ado About Nothing conflates two separate memories into one plot: the baiting of Benedick and Beatrice right into a statement of love and the deception of Claudio into mistakenly thinking that Hero is unchaste. There is not precise source for the first tale, despite the fact that Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde affords a foundation where those who scorn love fall in love with each other. For the second story of a girl falsely accused, but there are numerous possible resources. Ludovico Ariosto's model in Canto V of Orlando Furioso in 1516 was translated into English in 1591 with the aid of Sir John Harington or Matteo Bandello's twenty-second Novella from 1554 and translated into French by way of Belleforest in 1590 are two feasible versions that Shakespeare can also have recognized.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sparkling with the witty dialogue between Beatrice and Benedict, Much Ado About Nothing is one of Shakespeare's most enjoyable and theatrically successful comedies. This edition offers a newly edited text and an exceptionally helpful and critically aware introduction. Paying particular attention to analysis of the play's minor characters, Sheldon P. Zitner discusses Shakespeare's transformation of his source material. He rethinks the attitudes to gender relations that underlie the comedy and determine its view of marriage. Allowing for the play's openness to reinterpretation 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.

The sonnets have been translated into all major written languages and are frequently used at romantic celebrations. Known as “The Bard of Avon,” William Shakespeare is arguably the greatest English-language writer known. Enormously popular during his life, Shakespeare’s works continue to resonate more than three centuries after his death, as has his influence on theatre and literature. Shakespeare’s innovative use of character, language, and experimentation with romance as tragedy served as a foundation for later playwrights and dramatists, and some of his most famous lines of dialogue have become part of everyday speech.
