Description

The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Shakespeare's first comedy, explores the complexities of male friendship and love. A play built around the themes of identity and cross-dressing, it delves into the ideal of male friendship and its challenges when men fall in love.

This edition features an engaging introduction by William Carroll, which examines the traditions and sources behind the play and delves into Shakespeare's unique treatment of these themes. The play's strong female figure, Julia, is also given special attention, as is the controversial final scene.

Published in 2004, this is the third edition of The Arden Shakespeare series. With 336 pages, it is a compact and accessible introduction to Shakespeare's early comedy.
