Description

This edition brings Shakespeare’s entire dramatic and poetic output together in a single, carefully balanced volume. The editors have built the text on a meticulous comparison of the four original Folios and every surviving Quarto, weaving together the most reliable readings while flagging uncertainties. Wherever the early sources differ, the variations appear in footnotes and, when too extensive, the original Quarto passages are printed in a smaller type right alongside the main text.

Readers will find each scene numbered line‑by‑line, making reference and study straightforward. Concise editorial notes at the end of each play explain difficult passages, justify textual choices, and highlight particularly interesting divergences. The collection also includes Shakespeare’s poems, edited with the same rigorous approach, offering a comprehensive, scholarly companion for anyone who wants to explore the Bard’s works with clarity and confidence.

About the author

William Shakespeare

1564–1616

A playwright, poet, and actor from Stratford-upon-Avon, he created characters and lines that have stayed alive for more than four centuries. His stories of love, ambition, jealousy, power, and forgiveness still feel startlingly human.
