EDITORS COMMENTS
The Comedy of Errors: Title Page - Exorcism Scene (1862) This title page, taken from an 1862 edition of The Comedy of Errors, showcases the intriguing and humorous elements of this classic work by William Shakespeare. The Comedy of Errors, one of the Bard's earliest plays, is a tale of mistaken identity and wild coincidences. In this scene, we see the exorcism of the mischievous spirit that has been causing chaos in the lives of two sets of identical twins, Antipholus of Syracuse and Antipholus of Ephesus, and their servants, Dromio of Syracuse and Dromio of Ephesus. The exorcism is being performed by the quirky and comically inept Doctor Pinch, who can be seen pouring water and smoke over the supposedly possessed Antipholus of Ephesus. The Victorian era, in which this edition was published, is characterized by its ornate design and intricate illustrations. The title page, illustrated by Sir John Gilbert, is no exception. The use of bold typography, intricate border designs, and the inclusion of the exorcism scene adds to the overall theatricality and excitement of the production. The Comedy of Errors, with its comedic twists and turns, continues to be a beloved work in English literature and theatre. This title page is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's witty and humorous play, and the captivating performances it continues to inspire on the stage.
