Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from All´s Well, That Ends Well The similarity of the subject to that of Measure for Measure and the number of parallels that might be drawn from this play with Julius Cesar and Hamlet as well as the metrical evidence, the humour, and the prose style favour the supposition that 1602 was the probable date of composition. Text There was no quarto edition of this play, and it first appeared in the Folio edition of 1623. It is one of the worst printed in the volume, and the emendator has had the fullest scope for his powers; and this opportunity has been eagerly taken advantage of. Source The primary source of All´s Well is the ninth novel of the third book of Boccaccio´s Decameron. An English version of this had appeared in Paynter´s Palace of Pleasure and to this, no doubt, Shakespeare was directly indebted. The story in Paynter deals with the history of the love of Giletta for the young and handsome Beltramo. She proceeds to Paris and cures the king; and as a reward is allowed choice of husband. Needless to say she selects Beltramo, who immediately deserts her for the wars between Florence and Sienna. He leaves her a letter saying he will not acknowledge her as his wife till she has a son by him and has obtained his ring. She follows him to Florence, and by the help of an honest lady whom he has importuned in love, manages to fulfil both conditions. After the birth of two sons she proceeds to the count´s abode, where he is holding a great feast, and is accepted as his beloved wife. This, then, is the crude story which formed the base of All´s Well. Shakespeare, however, has, as usual, given free play to his invention. Thus the whole of the development of the story is entirely different: in the story the lady simply presents herself to her husband and all is ended, while in the play the catastrophe is brought about by a series of dramatic and moving scenes.
