A knowledge of Shakespeare's plays is essential to the well informed man or women, but the ordinary edition is so defective in notes and glossaries that reading the plays becomes a difficult task instead of an enjoyable entertainment.
The New International Edition makes Shakespeare's plays pleasant reading. It has been edited and produced with that end in view. It contains copious Notes, Comments and Glossaries explaining every difficult passage and obsolete word. For the purpose of acquiring a real and practical knowledge of Shakespeare's works this edition is far superior to any other edition in existence.
The New International Edition is based on three centuries of searching criticism. It indicates the high-water mark of Shakespearean scholarship. All recognized authorities are represented in the notes and explanatory matter, among them being Dyce, Coleridge, Dowden, Johnson, Malone, White and Hudson. The sets are in thirteen handsome volumes—size 7½ x 5½ inches—containing 7,000 pages; attractively bound in cloth and half-leather; 400 illustrations—reproductions of quaint wood-cuts of Shakespeare's time, and beautiful color plates.
No Other Edition Contains:
Critical Comments on the plays and characters selected from the writings of eminent Shakespearian scholars.
Glossaries following each Play, so that you do not have to turn to a separate volume to find the meaning of every obscure word.
Two Sets of Notes: Explanatory notes for the general reader and critical notes for the student or scholar.
