　　Why did theatre audiences laugh in Shakespeare's day? Why do

they still laugh now? What did Shakespeare do with the conventions

of comedy that he inherited, so that his plays continue to amuse

and move audiences? What do his comedies have to say about love,

sex, gender, power, family, community, and class? What place have

pain, cruelty, and even death in a comedy? Why all those puns? In a

survey that travels from Shakespeare's earliest experiments in

farce and courtly love-stories to the great romantic comedies of

his middle years and the mould-breaking experiments of his last

decade's work, this book addresses these vital questions. Organised

thematically, and covering all Shakespeare's comedies from the

beginning to the end of his career, it provides readers with a map

of the playwright's comic styles, showing how he built on comedic

conventions as he further enriched the possibilities of the

genre.
