Description
Publisher's Description of The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare (Wordsworth Classics)
Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex
The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, but it remains deeply controversial. The text may seem anti-Semitic; yet repeatedly, in performance, it has revealed a contrasting nature. Shylock, though vanquished in the law-court, often triumphs in the theatre. In his intensity he can dominate the play, challenging abrasively its romantic and lyrical affirmations. What results is a bitter-sweet drama.
Though The Merchant of Venice offers some of the traditional pleasures of romantic comedy, it also exposes the operations of prejudice. Thus Shakespeare remains our contemporary.
The Wordsworth Classics’ Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare’s works; the textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
Category Description for Merchant of Venice (Shakespeare)
When Bassanio desires to court the wealthy heiress Portia, he asks his merchant friend Antonio for a loan so that he may do so in style. As Antonio's money is tied up in this own ventures, he is not able to provide the loan and suggest that they secure a loan from the moneylender Shylock. Shylock agrees on the loan despite a long-standing grudge against his nemesis Antonio, but on a condition that may very well cost Antonio his life if the loan defaults. This powerful play by Shakespeare captures the drama and suspense surrounding the Merchant of Venice.
