The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Author: William SHAKESPEARE
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781724134387
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
The Two Gentlemen of Verona was penned by William Shakespeare sometime between 1590 and 1594, thus placing it among the earliest of the Bard's plays. The primary source for Shakespeare in writing this play appears to be a Spanish romance by Jorge de Montemayor titled La Diana Enamorada which was subsequently translated into English and thus available as source material. Over versions of this story were also at Shakespeare's disposal and the final product he produced does indicate access to more than just one single resource.What The Two Gentlemen of Verona may succeed at more than anything else is revealing why British Renaissance drama in the wake of playwrights like Shakespeare, Jonson, Kyd and Marlowe so effortlessly succeeded the era of stage presentations which preceded the revolution they initiated. That preceding era was marked by the popularity of romantic dramas heavily based on Italian love stories. Romeo and Juliet belongs to that tradition of Italian love stories adapted for the British stage as well and while that tragedy has consistently remained popular with audiences, as an artistic achievement it also consistently ranks in the bottom half of Shakespeare's canon. By comparison, The Two Gentlemen of Verona has not only failed to ignite the appreciation of critics, it has failed to spark the interest of audiences.

The Two Gentlemen of Verona
Author: William Shakespeare
Publisher: Phoemixx Classics Ebooks
ISBN: 3985947740
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 105
Book Description
The Two Gentlemen of Verona - William Shakespeare - The Two Gentlemen of Verona is a comedy by William Shakespeare from early in his career. It has the smallest cast of any of Shakespeare's plays, and is the first of his plays in which a heroine dresses as a boy. It deals with the themes of friendship and infidelity. The highlight of the play is considered by some to be Launce, the clownish servant of Proteus, and his dog Crab, to whom "the most scene-stealing non-speaking role in the canon" has been attributed.
