SynopsisThe Oxford Shakespeare brings the modern reader closer to Shakespeare's plays as originally performed than has ever before been possible. Based on eight years of full-time research by a team of distinguished British and American scholars, this monumental volume offers many remarkable innovations, including a new chronological order, revised stage directions, two full versions of King Lear --as originally written and as revised later for performance--and the complete text of The Two Noble Kinsmen .

In addition, a lucid General Introduction by Stanley Wells and brief introductions to each play provide a wealth of background information.

  • Why is editor's name on the cover???

    Small font. Difficult to read. $4.00 Shipping via Media Mail was excessive.
