Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book studies the origins of Shakespeare's widely beloved comedy Love's Labours Lost, widely considered to be his earliest work. The author argues that there was an original version of the play, written in 1590, before Shakespeare revised it for a Christmas performance in 1597. Central to this argument is that the 1597 version shows a distinct increase in poetic power, as well as the insertion of several scenes that revolve around historical events that occurred between the two dates. By closely examining the rhythmic and linguistic differences in the text and looking for historical allusions, the author identifies and isolates the original version from the later additions and posits a more symmetrical and tightly plotted early play than the one we know today. This book is an accessible resource for those interested in Shakespeare's development as a writer and the practice of textual analysis, but it also illuminates the creativity and historical context surrounding one of the most famous works in the English language. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332404476_0
