Ros King provides a completely new Introduction to the existing text and
commentary for this updated edition of The Comedy of Errors. She argues
that the play cannot be regarded only as a farcical romp based on a
classical model, but should be considered part of a critically
misunderstood genre of tragi-comedy. Stressing the play's underlying
seriousness, the Introduction pays special attention to its religious
imagery. First Edition Hb (1988): 0-521-22153-6 First Edition Pb (1988):
