Descripción
William Shakespeare’s comedy Love’s Labours Lost is presented in the Penguin Shakespeare edition, edited with an introduction by John Kerrigan. Ferdinand, King of Navarre, and his lords Berowne, Dumaine and Longaville agree to establish an austere academy, solemnly vowing to have no contact with women for three years. When the Princess of neighbouring France arrives with her attendants, however, their pledge is quickly put under strain. Soon all four men are smitten, and confusion abounds as each struggles to declare his love in secret in this comedy of deception, desire and mistaken identity. The book includes a general introduction to Shakespeare’s life and Elizabethan theatre, a separate introduction to the play, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay on performance options for stage and screen, and a commentary. “The most beautiful of Shakespeare’s comedies” — Kenneth Branagh.
