* Description
Avon Edition
The collected works of William Shakespeare in one volume, a scarce Avon edition, with text mainly from the edition of Nikolaus Delius. With all histories, tragedies, and comedies printed on thin paper with an extensive index and appendices.
William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. His plays are constantly studied, performed and reinterpreted in diverse cultural and political contexts throughout the world.
The text of the present Edition of Shakspere's Works is mainly that of Delius. Wherever a variant reading is adopted, some good and recognised Shaksperian Critic has been followed. In no case is a new rendering of the text proposed; nor has it been thought necessary to distract the reader's attention by notes or comments. The Glossary, with which is incorporated an index of names, subjects, and first lines (of the Songs and Sonnets), is mainly an abridgment of the Index to Shakspere's Works by Miss Evangeline O'Connor.
(Avon Edition - Avon being the place of William Shakespeare's birth.
Maroon board hardcover, with gilt on front and spine.
The spellings of Shakspere come primarily from Stratford and its environs and from London, with a few from a wider area of Warwickshire. A few appear to be members of other families with the same name. Most of the Stratford spellings come from documents involving William’s father, John Shakspere, who signed after the clerk wrote his name with an X or the mark of a glover, and who was an important man in Stratford for a time.)
