William Shakespeare: Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Wordsworth Special Editions) (Wordsworth Royals Series)

Readers

“Simply the most useful and comprehensive Collected Edition available - controversial at time of first publication, however.”

“The most complete book of life, literature, and stage ever written. To know it is to know most all that life has to offer, historically, tragically, humorously. It is the only book needed for exile on a desert island.”

“I have a copy of the Complete Works of Shakespeare with temple notes.. that my husband gave me when we first met. I can't find another like it anywhere. It is a leather bound edition with fine embossed details and his picture is embossed dead center of the cover. It is golden in color with gilding around his likeness atop a red background and there are no dates showing when it was published inside of it other than it was published in the United States at the World Syndicate Publishing Company in Cleveland, OH and New York, N.Y. Does this mean it is rare?”

“I had a nice edition of The Riverside Shakespeare, but my daughter saw it and ran off with it to college. Sigh. I suppose I could make her return it, but I thought to let her maybe keep it and replace my copy. Which is better, The Complete Works of Shakespeare by David Bevington or The Riverside Shakespeare? Both are expensive so one is enough, but which one? Is anybody familiar with both? I really did enjoy the colored photos in the Riverside version - does Bevington's version have colored photos also? Which is more true to Shakespeare's writing? Which is more useable?”
