A new modern-spelling edition of Shakespeare's shortest play and one of his most popular comedies. The introduction discusses the probably occasion of its first performance at Gray's Inn in December 1594, its multiple sources and its uneven critical and theatrical history. Appendices include the complete text of the play's main source, Plautus' Menaechmi, and extracts from Gesta Grayorum and the Geneva Bible.
