Summary
This complete works of William Shakespeare combines exemplary textual scholarship with elegant writing and design. It is based on the iconic 1623 First Folio: the original Complete Works lovingly assembled by Shakespeare's fellow actors, and the version of Shakespeare's text preferred by many actors and directors today. This edition goes further to present Shakespeare's plays as they were originally intended - as living theatre to be enjoyed and performed onstage. It features the entire range of Shakespeare's plays, poems and sonnets.
