Love's Labour's Lost, now recognized as one of the most delightful
and stageworthy of Shakespeare's comedies, came into its own both
on the stage and in critical esteem only during the 1930s and
1940s, after three hundred years of neglect by the theatre and
undervaluation and misuse by critics. The Introduction to this new
edition pays particular attention to this process of
rehabilitation. The text, based on the quarto of 1598 and taking
full account of the extensive scholarly study that text has
received over recent years, rests on the hypothesis that the quarto
goes back, probably by way of `lost' quarto, to an authorial
manuscript representing the play in a state prior to `fair copy'.
If this is so, the quarto takes on a special significance because
through it we can watch Shakespeare in the act of composition,
improvising, changing his mind, and revising as his play develops
under his hand. The editor offers a number of new readings of
difficult and disputed passages, together with some suggestions
about the way in which the play's notorious `tangles' may have come
about. A detailed commentary offers full and helpful guidance to
the play's scintillating language. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
