Each time I read William Shakepeare's works I discover something new. There are alwasy so many angles to look at the same story, I think Shakespeare planned his writtings that way, open to interpretation. There are clear detailed instructions and oulines to discribe the works. This book has not excluded any of his work making it timeless. I am enchanted by all of Shakespeare's works and delight that one book carries all the works of this great man. (Michele, Fall 2009)

I was surprised at the quality of this edition. It includes detailed introductions outlining histories and sources of each of the texts, notes on the texts that discuss debates of scholarly interpretation for lines and words, explanations of words that have changed meaning or been lost from usage. And to my knoweldge, it has not overlooked any of his work. (

Shakespeare makes everyone feel some emotion, and entertains beautifully with his writing. Plus, a Shakespeare reference always comes in handy sooner or later. (
