Shakespeare wrote ... two gentlemen of Verona
Shakespeare wrote this play for the same reason he wrote all of his plays: to make money.
Shakespeare wrote 18 comedies. The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Measure for Measure and Cymbeline are three of them.
Shakespeare wrote mostly plays but he is also famous for his poetry. His plays cover a remarkable breadth of human experience. He even wrote about dogs. (In The Two Gentlemen of Verona)
The two gentlemen of Verona.
Never heard of that one. Two gentlemen of Verona was by William Shakespeare though.
The Two Gentlemen of Verona has two characters of these names.
Troilus and Cressida. King John. The Two Gentlemen of Verona. Cymbeline. Timon of Athens. Henry VIII (All is True).
No. Although it was one of his early plays, it does not seem to have made the impact that the Henry VI trilogy or Titus Andronicus did. Henry VI Parts One and Two were published in Shakespeare's lifetime and so was Titus, but the Two Gentlemen of Verona was not published until the Folio. Francis Meres was aware of it when he wrote his Palladis Tamia in 1598.
very diff.
I don't think Shakespeare himself had a dog, but in his plays he wrote about dogs named Crab (from The Two Gentlemen Of Verona) and Mr. Hooker (http://www.amazon.com/Shakespeares-Dog-Novel-Leon-Rooke/dp/0880010932)
