At one point perhaps the least loved of Shakespeare's comedies, Love's Labour's Lost is now a very popular one. As one of Shakespeare's most vilified plays, it has been largely ignored until the 20th century. This reference is a thorough guide to the play's origins and legacy. Chapters overview the genesis of the text and the merits of various editions, the historical, cultural, and ideological contexts that inform the work, Shakespeare's dramatic artistry, particularly his use of language, the play's themes and critical reception, and its life on the stage and screen. Chapters include lists of works for further reading, and a selected bibliography of major studies concludes the volume.
