Loves Labours Lost

by William Shakespeare

Overview

Love's Labour's Lost is a play about the quest for love amidst a madcap battle of wits between the sexes. When the King of Navarre decides to devote himself to asceticism and study, he enlists three of his noblemen to join him in this endeavor. But no sooner have they made their vows then the Princess of France arrives, and sets all their plans awry. One of Shakespeare's most linguistically challenging plays, Love's Labour's Lost is dense with wordplay and rhyme, and a treat for any lover of language.
