SynopsisBut thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st; Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to th ee. -- from Sonnet 18 No home should be without this: every play, from the early histories to the sad, wise Winter's Tale and The Tempest ; every exquisitely crafted sonnet; every long poem (such as Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece ) written by the greatest writer in the English language. This edition of the Bard of Avon's complete works is a facsimile of the definitive Shakespeare Head edition published originally in Oxford, England. All the plays are arranged in chronological order of their composition, rather than by genre, so that the evolution of Shakespeare's monumental genius can be more easily followed and appreciated.
A complete collection of Shakespeare’s work is no small thing either in terms of physical size or word count. Getting it all under one cover makes it very useful as a research tool...a very thick book but all the stuff is in one place. I’ll use it as a back-up and argument solver for our Shakespeare group. This volume arrived in excellent condition. If you want to study the details of his work, thus is a must have.
