Overview
There has been a recent renaissance in research on Shakespeare's comedies. This volume provides an excellent introduction to the latest literary criticism in an increasingly important area. The book is divided into three sections. The first examines the broad themes of comedy, setting the context to enable close examination of the three major Shakespearean comedies as well as the 'romances'. In part two each play is analysed with readings of key passages. The final part of the book provides factual information on the contemporary scene.
