Shakespeare, WilliamTwelfth Night, or What You Will. London: Printed by Tho. Cotes, 1632
Folio (308 x 216 mm). 255-275, [1]pp. Expertly bound to style in paneled calf, covers tooled in blind, upper cover gilt lettered.
From Shakespeare's second folio.
Twelfth Night is a delightfully confusing tale of love, originally believed to have been written for the Twelfth Night festival on the last night of the Twelve Days of Christmas, around 1601. The play focuses on twins Viola and Sebastian, who, caught in a shipwreck, are separated but survive. Viola, disguised as a man named Cesario, goes on to work for Count Orsino. She falls in love with the count, though he is in love with Countess Olivia and sends Viola/Cesario to court her on his behalf. However, things take a turn when Olivia falls in love with Viola/Cesario instead. When Sebastian returns, the plot thickens as mistaken identities lead to further complications.
(See lots 1146-1148 and 1150.)
