The Duel Scene from 'Twelfth Night' by William Shakespeare, William Powell Frith (1842)
In the First Folio, the plays of William Shakespeare were grouped into three categories: comedies, histories, and tragedies;[1] and modern scholars recognise a fourth category, romance, to describe the specific types of comedy that appear in Shakespeare's later works.[2]
