Description
Twelfth Night Or What You Will by William Shakespeare is presented in this edition with an updated introduction that explores recent scholarship and performance history. Penny Gay's analysis highlights the play's theatricality, linguistic games, and complex use of Ovidian myths. The third edition retains the text edited and annotated by Elizabeth Story Donno for the first edition of 1985, featuring a selection of new photographs to complement the edition. This New Cambridge Shakespeare series offers line-by-line commentaries and textual notes on the plays and poems, appealing to students worldwide with its up-to-date scholarship. The edition provides a nuanced understanding of Twelfth Night's balance between romance and realism, as well as representations of gender, sexuality, and identity in the text.
