Description
Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare presents a complex exploration of love and power. A woman, Olivia, is courted by two suitors: the Duke Orsino and his steward Malvolio, while also attracting the attention of Sir Andrew Aguecheek. The arrival of twins Viola and Sebastian adds to the tangled web of relationships. As the play unfolds, Olivia falls in love with a messenger sent by Orsino, who is actually disguised as a page. This complication sets off a series of events that wonderfully untangles the relationships between the characters. The authoritative edition of Twelfth Night includes valuable tools for educators and readers alike, such as hypertext links, explanatory notes, and scene-by-scene plot summaries. This edition presents Shakespeare's text in its most accurate form, with freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play, accompanied by images from the Folger Shakespeare Library's vast holdings of rare books.
