520			_aThe Merchant of Venice has been performed more often than any other comedy by Shakespeare. M.M Mahood pays special attention to the expectations of the play's first audience, and to our modern experience of seeing and hearing the play. In a new addition to the introduction, Charles Edelman focuses on the play's sexual politics and recent scholarship devoted to the position of Jews in Shakespeare's time, and surveys the diversity of theatrical interpretations in the 1980s and 1990s and their different ways of tackling the troubling figure of Shylock.
