The plays, the sonnets and the narrative poems sit in one book here: this deluxe volume gathers Shakespeare's surviving work, tragedies and comedies and histories alike.
Hamlet and Macbeth stand a few hundred pages from Twelfth Night and A Midsummer Night's Dream, which is the argument for owning the complete text rather than single plays. For students it removes the problem of tracking down a set text, and for general readers it makes browsing possible, since the language rewards reading a scene at a time.
What makes this volume useful:
• Plays, sonnets and poems collected in a single hardcover
• Tragedies, comedies and histories in one reference volume
• Convenient for students working from prescribed set texts
• Deluxe production intended as a lasting copy
A sound choice for drama students, teachers, theatre-goers and collectors, available in English from Boipoka.
