Customer Reviews
An informative and convenient Edition
The Complete Pelican Shakespeare is a very informative and most convenient edition for Shakespeare's complete works. The introduction for each play is brief enough to provide guidance without unduly delaying the reader's forage for the substance of the main text. The footnotes are kept minimum yet adequate to shed light on difficult words and passages. The Appendix or Notes on the Text (or Texts) for individual plays are quite useful. Furthermore, the quality of the pepar and binding also makes this edition attractive. It is an excellent edition for Shakespeare's fans who like to tuck a light copy of the complete works in the bag when travelling.
The Plays as Shakespeare Intended Them
An excellent one-volume edition of the Shakespeare canon, thoroughly reconsidered and revised to present as closely as possible the plays acted on the stages of the London playhouses of Shakespeare's time. An essential volume on every literate person's bookshelf. I highly recommend it.
