The Merry Wives of Windsor, Shakespeare's only thoroughly English
comedy, created an archetypal literary figure in the shape of the
devious, irrepressible John Falstaff. This stimulating new edition
celebrates the play as a joyous exploration of language, but also
places elements of its plot firmly in a continental, specifically
Italian, tradition of romantic comedy. It draws out the
complexities of Merry Wives as a multi-plot play, and takes a fresh
and challenging look at both textual and dating issues; a facsimile
of the first Quarto is included as an appendix. The play's
extensive performance history, both dramatic and operatic, is fully
explored and discussed.'This is a significant and substantive
edition, in that nothing has been taken for granted, everything has
been opened to reconsideration. The commentary is exceptionally
detailed and attentive to questions of language and meaning.'John
Jowett, Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham,
Shakespeare Quarterly
