Document Summary
Engl 2p82 a midsummer night"s dream october 3, 2016. The fact that the taming of the shrew and the comedy of errors were published is significant, showing that by. 1594 they had both outlived their stage time.

Only when a play was not likely to generate a lot of revenue through performance, only then would they try to get extra cash through publication. Amnd later comedy, first published in 1600 and the first mention of the play in contemporary sources comes from 1598. Its structural and stylistic similarities to romeo and juliet, make them assume that it was written around the same time. It was considered as somewhat of a parody of romeo and juliet. As a later play, amnd is often taken to represent an advance in shakespeare"s development as a comic dramatist.
