First Sentence
"Names: in adopting Helen rather than the usual Helena, I follow the preference revealed in the Folio text, in which Helena occurs only once in dialogue and three times in stage directions, all before the end of Act Two, whereas Helen or Hellen is the only form used in the last three acts and overall decidedly outweighs the longer form with twenty-five occurrences"

Description
"For this updated edition, Alexander Leggatt has written a wholly new introduction to Russell Fraser's edition of one of Shakespeare's most puzzling, ambiguous and demanding plays. Leggatt's interest in performance informs his introduction and his account of the instability of the main characters. He offers a full, illustrated and thoughtful account of the play's critical and theatrical fortunes to the end of the twentieth century, and of our experience as an audience of seeing and hearing it performed. An updated reading list completes the edition."--Jacket.
