This edition of The Two Gentlemen of Verona offers a complete consideration of all aspects of the text.It interprets the play less as a contribution to a Renaissance literary debate between love and friendship (the traditional academic view) than as a dramatization of competing kinds of love - a theatrical counterpart to Shakespeare's Sonnets.It analyzes the lyrical language with which these kinds of love are expressed, and explores the tension betweenlyricism and the violence of some of the play's events, notably the concluding attempted rape scene.It also provides further evidence that The Two Gentlemen is Shakespeare's earliest surviving play, and proposes a new actor for whom the principal comic role of Lance may have been designed.This is the onlyedition to offer a setting of the song 'Who is Silvia?', prepared by Guy Woolfenden from an Elizabethan source, and is therefore the only edition on the market to provide a complete text for performance. ; PDF; Poetry & Drama > Plays, playscripts > Shakespeare plays, OUP Oxford<
