 | Two Gentlemen of Verona by Barbara A. Mowatt, Clifford Leech, Folio Theatre Players, Kurt Schlueter, Norman Sanders
The eponymous two gentlemen in question--Valentine and Proteus--are in love with, respectively, Silvia and Julia. Despite the promise of constancy made to Julia by Proteus, while he is away assisting his friend Valentine he also falls for Silvia. Thwarting their elopement plans, Proteus attempts to manipulate the circumstances to win the girl, losing the friendship of Valentine in the process. True to the conventions of comedy, though, all is set right between the friends and the lovers before the curtain falls. One of Shakespeare's first forays into comedy, TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA is not among his most accomplished works, although his later skill in drawing comic portraits is foreshadowed here. Shakespeare found precedent in the friendship between Valentine and Proteus in Boccaccio's DECAMERON, in the popular verse circulating in England at the time. TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA has been held up as Shakespeare's first composition, but there is no proof, other than the immaturity of his voice, to confirm this assertion. In any case, it was certainly written prior to 1598, when it was mentioned in a list of works. AUTHOR: Barbara A. Mowatt, Clifford Leech, Folio Theatre Players, Kurt Schlueter, Norman Sanders

 | Original Sin by Harold Schechter, Jim Jarmusch, John Yan, Martin Wilner
Joe Coleman is an urban visionary whose work offers a window into a universe both fearsome and funny. This stunning book presents the many facets of Coleman, from apocalyptic folk painter to self-destructive performance artist. Coleman begins with the ingredients of delirium -- monsters and totems, stray organs and religious icons, all interwoven with long curlicues of text -- and transmutes them into pure magic. As the successor to such diverse geniuses as Max Beckman, filmaker Tod Browning, and the institutionalized artist Adolf Wolfli, Coleman is among those whose work is redefining art on the threshold of the 21st century.
