One of the more fun of WS' plays. Mistaken identities; women pursuing women; brother pursuing sister (kind of); clowns and dolts; all coming to a grinding happy end. This is the play to which the character of WS makes reference at the end of the movie "Shakespeare in Love". Overview; Introduction; Textual Note; Source Note; essay by Barnabe Rich; Commentaries by Samuel Johnson, William Hazlitt; Charles Lamb; and five more; and extensive Bibliography. 192 pp.
