Book Summary – 

Shakespeare’s Comedies: An Anthology of Modern Criticism is a scholarly collection that brings together a wide range of critical essays and interpretations of William Shakespeare’s most celebrated comedies, including A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, Much Ado About Nothing, and others. Edited by Laurence Lerner, the anthology offers readers a comprehensive overview of how modern critics have approached Shakespeare’s humor, themes, and dramatic techniques. The essays explore key aspects of the comedies — such as love, gender, disguise, language, and social order — while examining how these plays reflect the complexities of human relationships and Elizabethan society. By presenting diverse perspectives, from traditional literary analysis to modern psychoanalytic and feminist readings, this volume provides students and scholars with a deeper appreciation of Shakespeare’s enduring genius and the timeless appeal of his comic art.
