In the past videos I started talking about Florio’s connection with Shakespeare, and the possibility that they may have collaborated during their long career.
A play taken into consideration to analyse this possible collaborative role of John Florio in Shakespeare’s plays is Love’s Labour’s Lost.
now, love’s labour’s lost has been defined a “problematic” play, why? because it doesn’t have a definite source, it has been suggested that it is influenced by philip sidney? john florio’s friend and patron of giordano bruno, maybe by john lyly? john florio’s student at oxford, but unlike other shakespeare’s plays in which we know a little more about the sources used by the bard, for love’s labour’s lost it is generally believed that it has no particular literary source, but today I will challenge that.
