'The Merchant of Venice' tells of a Venetian merchant called Antonio who defaults on a large loan provided by a Jewish moneylender. The man, Shylock, then takes the opportunity to hit back at the racism and general discrimination that he has encountered by demanding a pound of flesh from Antonio. This edition includes an extensive introduction that examines the origins of the work, the plot and the characters, as well as notes on the text, a glossary and a timeline of Shakespeare's life and work.
