William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night stands as one of the most beloved and enduring comedies in the English literary canon. Written around 1601, Twelfth Night is a comedy of mistaken identities, love, and self-discovery. It was written for the festive season of the Twelfth Night, a traditional holiday celebrated on January 5th or 6th, marking the end of the Christmas festivities in England. This period was characterized by revelry, role reversals, and merriment—elements that are vividly reflected in the play’s plot and tone. The Enrich Spot edition of Twelfth Night is organized into three parts : (1) The abridged story in modern English ensures you understand the story, (2) the vocabulary and literary devices of Shakespeare's language deepen your appreciation of the work and (3) the original text offers an authentic experience of Shakespeare’s artistry.

作者简介

William Shakespeare

Born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, William Shakespeare left school young but became the greatest writer in English. By the 1590s, he was London's most successful playwright, writing for both Queen Elizabeth I and common groundlings who paid a penny to stand in the Globe Theatre's yard. Shakespeare’s writings are famous for their poetic language, clever wordplay, and deep insights into human nature. He wrote about love and jealousy, ambition and betrayal, comedy and tragedy—often blending these elements in a single play. His characters are complex and memorable, each revealing truths about human emotions that still resonate today. More than four centuries later, his plays are still performed, studied, and loved around the world.
