My introduction surveys Shakespeare’s comedy, finding it his natural mode while indicating also its superb range, from knockabout farce to visionary romance. Lisa Marciano studies the dark comedy of Twelfth Night, where Viola and Feste serve as the most charming of moral teachers. As You Like It, most original and refreshing of pastorals, finds enlightened defense of its genre from Linda Woodbridge, while cuckoldry, Shakespeare’s knowingly obsessive jest, is illuminated in The Merchant of Venice and As You Like It by Emily Detmer-Goebel. The servant-master relationship in The Two Gentlemen of Verona is studied by Elizabeth Rivlin, after which Roy Eriksen examines originating process in The Taming of the Shrew. Castiglione’s influence in Much Ado About Nothing is set forth by Philip D. Collington, while Kent Cartwright chronicles magical aspects of The Comedy of Errors. [download]
