En savoir plus sur le livre
A dazzling display of Shakespeare's wit and wordplay, this high-spirited comedy features proud Beatrice and rake Benedick, both vowing never to marry. However, when the mischievous Don Pedro tricks them into believing they have secret feelings for each other, they begin to question whether their sharp banter hides deeper emotions. Amidst schemes and misunderstandings, matches are made in this irresistible comedy, famously adapted into a film by Kenneth Branagh. The edition includes a general introduction to Shakespeare's life and Elizabethan theatre, a specific introduction to the play, a chronology, suggestions for further reading, an essay on performance options, and a commentary. Shakespeare, born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564, wrote around 38 plays and is celebrated for masterpieces like Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, and Macbeth, alongside 154 sonnets that are among the most profound love poetry in English. If you enjoyed this work, you might also appreciate As You Like It, available in the same series. "How is it possible that Shakespeare understood the human heart so well?" - Saskia Reeves.
