It's a comedy. It's a tragedy. It's... kind of a mess-unless you understand what's going on.
All's Well That Ends Well is one of Shakespeare's most unusual plays. There's love, deception, class conflict, and a happy ending that doesn't feel all that happy. It's a fascinating mix, but Shakespeare's language can make it hard to follow.

This edition helps you get past the confusion.
With the original text printed line-by-line alongside a modern English translation in italics, you can enjoy the richness of Shakespeare's writing with a little support whenever you need it. Read the original. Glance at the translation. Keep going without missing the meaning.

Whether you're studying the play in school or exploring it on your own, this edition makes the story clearer-without dumbing it down.
