Revised Edition

Pound for pound the most consistently interesting and provocative edition of Shakespeare ever published., "State-of-the-art scholarship...has come to stand as the edition of record of Shakespeare's poems and plays."--San Diego Union-Tribune"Includes stage directions, introductions, and a trove of other scholarly goodies. A beauty."--Library Journal (starred review), 'This new edition has an extremely helpful introductory essay on 'The Language of Shakespeare' by David Crystal, a User's Guide and a list of suggested further reading. That which was good is now even better.'Contemporary Review, "State-of-the-art scholarship...has come to stand as the edition of record of Shakespeare's poems and plays."--San Diego Union-Tribune "Includes stage directions, introductions, and a trove of other scholarly goodies. A beauty."--Library Journal (starred review), Oxford has launched- the ballistic image does seem apt- a second single volume version of its revolutionary edition, which first excited and outraged Shakespeareans in 1986. Oxford's Complete Works has a solid, traditional look but explodes into cutting-edge controversy inside.
