The Oxford Shakespeare offers authoritative texts from leading scholars in editions designed to interpret and illuminate the plays for modern readers. The Two Gentlemen of Verona is believed to be Shakespeare's earliest surviving play. A wide-ranging introduction explores the lyrical language with which Shakespeare dramatizes competing kinds of love. On-page commentary and notes explain language, word-play, and staging. This is the only edition to provide a setting of the song 'Who is Silvia?', taken from an Elizabethan source. Illustrated with production photographs and related art, this is the only edition to provide a complete text for performance.
