The Wordsworth Classics Shakespeare Series presents a newlyedited sequence of William Shakespeares works. The textual editing endeavors to take account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeares most popular comedies, but it remains deeply controversial. The text may well seem antiSemitic yet repeatedly, in performance, it has revealed a contrasting nature. Shylock, though vanquished in lawcourt, often triumphs in the theatre. He is a character so intense that he can dominate the play, challenging abrasively its romantic and lyrical affirmations. What results is a bittersweet drama, both gratifying and troubling. The lovers may eventually rejoice, but there are strange discords before the final harmony is achieved. Though The Merchant of Venice offers some of the traditional pleasures of comedy, it also exposes the perennial operations of prejudice. Thus Shakespeare remains our contemporary.
