Description
The Comedy of Errors by William Shakespeare is a play that defies easy categorisation. This second edition of The New Cambridge Shakespeare presents a fresh perspective on the work, arguing that it belongs to the critically misunderstood genre of tragi-comedy. Ros King's introduction explores the seriousness underlying the text, paying attention to its religious imagery and lightness of touch. She also examines the play's enduring popularity in the theatre, highlighting its unique blend of comedy and tragedy. The volume includes accounts of recent and historical performances, as well as an updated reading list for further study. This edition features a revised commentary and textual notes by Ros King, building on the renowned work of T. S. Dorsch. With its emphasis on performance and scholarship, it is an ideal resource for students and scholars alike.
