Shakespeare forged his tremendous art in the crucible of his comic imagination, which throughout his life enveloped and contained his tragic one. His early comedies--with their baroque poetic exuberance, intense theatricality, explosive bursts of humor, and superbly concrete realizations of the dialects of love--capture as in a chrysalis all that he was to become. They provide a complete inventory of the mind of our greatest writer in the middle of his golden youth. This volume contains The Comedy of Errors, The Taming of the Shrew, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Love's Labor's Lost, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and it's companion piece, Romeo and Juliet, which Tony Tanner describes in his introduction as "a tragedy by less than one minute." The texts, authoritatively edited by Sylvan Barnet, are supplemented with textual notes, bibliographies, a detailed chronology of Shakespeare's life and times, and a substantial introduction in which Tanner discusses each play individually and in the context of Shakespeare's oeuvre.… (meer)

What can you say that hasn't been said about the works of one of the most brilliant minds who ever lived? All superlatives elude me. Only the Ancient Greek playwrights are his equals. All others pale in comparison. Unfortunately, so many are turned-off to Shakespeare because of their introduction to him in high school. What a pity. Shakespeare is to be watched! Reading him is a poor substitute. If you can readily understand the English language of his day, he is easy to read, but few are adept at this. ( )

R and J: Chorus: Two households, both alike in dignity, in fair Verona, where we lay our scene, from ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes civil hands unclean. Dream: Now, fair Hippolyta, our nuptial hour draws on apace; four happy days bring in another moon... Shrew: Sly: I'll pheeze you, in faith. Errors: Aegeon: Proceed, Solinus, to procure my fall, and by the doom of death end woes and all. Verona: Valentine: Cease to persuade, my loving Proteus: Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits. Labour's: King: Let fame, that all hunt after in their lives, live register'd upon our brazen tombs, and then grace us in the disgrace of death...

R and J: Escalus: For never was a story of more woe than this of Juliet and her Romeo. Dream: Give me your hands, if we be friends, and Robin shall restore amends. Shrew: Lucentio: 'Tis a wonder, by your leave, she will be tamed so. Errors: Dromio of Ephesus: Nay, then, thus:--We came into the world like brother and brother; and now let's go hand in hand, not one before another. Verona: Valentine: That done, our day of marriage shall be your; one feast, one house, one mutual happiness. Labour's: Armado: You that way: we this way.
