Description:
|
View of pages from Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. Probably written c.1594-5, Love's Labour's Lost is a comedy which tells the story of the King of Navarre and his three servants who, having taken an oath to scholarship which entails avoiding women for three years, inevitably fall in love. Dating to 1598, Edinburgh University's manuscript is one of the earliest known copies of the work and according to its title page, is the same version as that which was presented to Queen Elizabeth I the previous Christmas, in 1597. It is in quarto format and was donated to Edinburgh University between 1626 and 1636 by former student William Drummond, making it part of the university's first literature collection.
