Widely hailed on its first publication in 1951, this authoritative guide has long been established as one of the most esteemed and influential editions of Shakespeare's works. This edition includes: the recognized canon of Shakespeare's plays, sonnets, and poems; a new introduction; a brief biography of Shakespeare; an introduction to Shakespearian theater; a glossary of 2,500 words and phrases; line numbering that relates to the standard concordances; and a new selection of Shakespearian websites, organized by theme.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
This reprint of Peter Alexander's 1951 edit of the whiz from Stratford's Complete Worksincludes the full text of Shakespeare's total output, along with a new intro by Peter Ackroyd, a quickie biography, a primer on Shakespearean theater by Anthony Burgess, a 2500-word glossary, a list of related web sites, and more goodies. It's a lot for the money, but note that the type size is tiny!

    This review is for any nook owners who love the classics.

    Caution, if you own a nook or are thinking of downloading this "file" of Shakespeare's complete works, you're ultimately going to be so disappointed. I am a proud nook owner, I purchased my treasured e-reader early in February and one of the first e-books I wanted to download was The Complete Works of William Shakespeare. Oddly this particular copy and another wouldn't download (it would go from 56% downloaded then drop to 16% in seconds), then when I did finally download them, they were incomplete, and to add insult to injury the copies "froze" my nook when opening or trying to view them. This was the one and only time my nook froze when opening any e-book. Anyway, when I did actually get to review my download, only half of one play "Richard III" was available, and in both copies the contents were in very grainy detail. So I tried to download again-same outcome. I understand that downloading a free book comes with some disappointment and, the old saying applies here "you get what you pay for" but the contents clearly state every one of Shakespeare wonderful plays and poems but that's not what you are getting when you view it on your nook.
    I apologize for giving anything involved with the bard anything lower in rating, then what the brilliant works deserves, but this format and this copy of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare needs to be addressed. Please Barnes & Noble convert and have available a "complete" comprehensive e-book worthy of Shakespeare.

    Misleading!

    I was very disappointed after downloading this to discover that in spite of the fact that the title very clearly states "Shakespeare's Complete Works," the only plays the document contained for me were Richard the III and Henry the IV. Don't get taken in by this deliberately misleading title.

    Great book!

    For a book entirely on Shakespeare it is exact and as a written play should be read. This is the perfect book for those who love his writings and someone who is looking for research. I have this book myself and it's great.

    Do Not Purchase

    This would be a great collection to have IF it could be navigated. I was able to install and open it, but the Table of Contents links do not work so I had to go page by page to get to what I needed. I planned on using this for my home schooled son- but this will not do! Too much time will be used looking up Sonnets. Frustrating!

    Doesn't open on the nook. You can find free versions of various quality by doing a google search - none I found had good table of contents or consistent formatting but persistence may pay off for you (I quit after trying 3 different ones.)
