Much Ado About Nothing (Penguin Popular Classics)

Much Ado About Nothing (Penguin Popular Classics)

by WilliamShakespeare (Author)

Synopsis

Set in a courtly world of masked revels and dances, this play turns on the archetypal story if a lady falsely accused of unfaithfulness, spurned by her bridegroom, and finally vindicated and reunited with him. Villainy, schemes, and deceit threatens to darken the brilliant humor and sparkling wordplay--but the hilarious counterplot of a warring couple, Beatrice and Benedick, steals the scene as the two are finally tricked into admitting their love for each other in Shakespeare's superb comedy of manners.

Media Reviews
Zitner has written one of the finest introductions to the play that I have seen. I hope that between this edition and Branaugh's film we can make the play come alive to the present generation of students. --Ronald J. Boling, Lyon College
Handy, reliable, altogether excellent...with introductions that truly cover everything and notes that explain all that needs to be explained. --Bibliotheque d'Humanisme et Renaissance
