“Names: in adopting Helen rather than the usual Helena, I follow the preference revealed in the Folio text, in which Helena occurs only once in dialogue and three times in stage directions, all before the end of Act Two, whereas Helen or Hellen is the only form used in the last three acts and overall decidedly outweighs the longer form with twenty-five occurrences”
William Shakespeare was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of 38 plays,[c] 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. He has invented over 1700 words some of which are common.
