About Love's Labour's Lost
Love's Labour's Lost is one of William Shakespeare's early comedies, believed to have been written in 1595 or 1596 for a performance at the Inns of Court before Queen Elizabeth I., around the same time he wrote Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Love's Labour's Lost abounds in sophisticated wordplay, puns, and literary allusions and is filled with clever pastiches of contemporary poetic forms.
