This edition of The Two Gentlemen of Verona offers a complete
consideration of all aspects of the text. It interprets the play
less as a contribution to a Renaissance literary debate between
love and friendship (the traditional academic view) than as a
dramatization of competing kinds of love - a theatrical counterpart
to Shakespeare's Sonnets. It analyzes the lyrical language with
which these kinds of love are expressed, and explores the tension
between lyricism and the violence of some of the play's events,
notably the concluding attempted rape scene. It also provides
further evidence that The Two Gentlemen is Shakespeare's earliest
surviving play, and proposes a new actor for whom the principal
comic role of Lance may have been designed. This is the only
edition to offer a setting of the song 'Who is Silvia?', prepared
by Guy Woolfenden from an Elizabethan source, and is therefore the
only edition on the market to provide a complete text for
performance.
