Features: The Two Noble Kinsmen is a play co-authored by Shakespeare and John Fletcher during the early stage of his dramatic career, written to support the young playwright. In recent years, it has been included in Shakespeare's collected works and revived on stage. We are now publishing it with annotations, which is the first opportunity for readers in China to access the original text. It is expected to be well-received. This play is about the knightly system and draws its material from The Knight's Tale in G. Chaucer's famous narrative poem, The Canterbury Tales. The book tells the story of two noble knights who duel for the hand of a beautiful woman, each under the protection of different gods, yet the ending is unexpected. This legendary drama celebrates selfless, devoted love while critiquing conquering, exploitative love. Its theme is positive and healthy.
