Twelfth Night (1600)

from The Literature Lady Hosted by Literature Lady

Ever wonder why Shakespeare is so great and why his work remained popular whereas most Elizabethan literature and drama has not? Ever wonder where Shakespeare got his ideas or how his work differs from his sources? Written for the jovial holiday Candlemas, Twelfth Night is one of Shakespeare's greatest comedies. Join us as we compare and contrast Shakespeare's text with his sources, and discover how one man managed to take some terribly bad literature and transform it into a masterful work that stood the test of time.
