The Comedy of Errors

In its evocations of love, loss, and the renewal of marital and family bonds, Shakespeare s entertaining and often unsettling early comedy of mistaken identities anticipates the great romances of his later career. The Barnes & Noble Shakespeare The Comedy of Errors is based on the text of the First Folio of 1623, providing a text as close as possible to the play Shakespeare wrote.Barnes & Noble Shakespeare features newly edited texts of the plays prepared by the world s premiere Shakespeare scholars. Each edition provides new scholarship with an introduction, commentary, unusually full and informative notes, and account of the play as it would have been performed in Shakespeare s theaters, and an essay on how to read Shakespeare s language.
