Shylock, or The Merchant of Venice Preserved is a travesty by Talfourd.
The full title is: Shylock, or the Merchant of Venice preserved: an entirely new reading of Shakespeare from an edition hitherto undiscovered by modern authorities, and which it is hoped may be received as the stray leaves of a Jerusalem hearty-joke and is referred to in the text as an extravaganza.
First performed. Published by T.H. Lacy, London, in 1850.
1859: Performed as Shylock, or The Merchant of Venice Preserved on 29 March, 1860, with Helping Hands (Taylor). and Shylock, or The Merchant of Venice Preserved (a travesty by Talfourd).
