Every play, sonnet and narrative poem Shakespeare left behind sits in this single edited volume, prepared under Alfred Harbage. It functions as a working library rather than a selection.
The tragedies, comedies, histories and poetry appear with scholarly introductions, explanatory notes and commentary written to support reading rather than crowd it out. Students get the apparatus they need for close study; general readers get glosses that clear up unfamiliar usage without breaking the line. Having the complete works in one binding also makes cross-reference between plays straightforward.
Features of this edition:
• All the tragedies, comedies, histories and poetry in a single binding
• Scholarly introductions preceding each text
• Explanatory notes and commentary for unfamiliar language
• A revised edition prepared for study and general reading alike
Built for literature students, teachers, researchers and classics collectors, available in English at Boipoka.
