Cet ouvrage se propose de la redécouvrir à partir d’une analyse de la langue, du contexte, et en s’intéressant aux tensions qu’elle met en jeu. Love’s Labour’s Lost(1598) stages four young aristocratic suitors courting four French ladies in an improbable Arcadia. Anticipating on Joyce’s language games, this play cannot be seen as yet another festive comedy of love. It is a laboratory piece which reverses our initial expectations, poised as it is between comedy and tragedy, merriment and spleen, copia and nihilism. Here, Shakespeare paves the way for some of the major themes he will explore later on in his career, such as the value of knowledge, the problems of inheritance, or female power. He also examines the arbitrary relationships betweenverbaandresin a dazzling series of puns and quibbles that bring language, letters and ciphers to the fore. A virtuoso comedy,Love’s Labour’s Lostkeeps juggling with bawdy words as it puts dramatic codes upside down, so that it somewhat perversely fails to reach the expected happy ending. Love’s Labour’s Lost: Shakespeare’s Anatomy of Witreassesses this exuberant and extravagant piece through a close study of its political background, its religious overtones and its transgressive wordplay while also enhancing the play’s multiple resonances in the world of today.
