This title corrals all the individual installments in the venerable "Pelican Shakespeare" series into a single volume. In addition to corrected texts, this includes scholarly introductions to each play, plus essays on Shakespeare and the times in which he lived and wrote. It also offers a sewn binding, illustrations, acid-free paper, and a ribbon marker. A singularly beautiful edition worthy of the works it presents.
