The merry wives of windsor. /
Shakespeare, William 1564-1616
The merry wives of windsor. / William Shakespeare ; edited by Giorgio Melchiori, ed. - United Kingdom : T. Nelson & Sons, c2000. - xix, 344 p.: ill. 20 cm.
It is a remarkable play in terms of its relationship to comedy and history ,the two genres most evident in Shakespear's dramatic writing of the 1590's.The Romantic plot love's triumph ,though nominally at the center of the plot, is decidedly secondary in importance.The more dominant motif of scapegoating and renewal gives the central roles to married women rather than the young lovers of romantic comedy. "In" The Complete Works of Shakespeare,edited by David Bevington.
