Description
1793 PLAYS of William Shakespeare Illustrated Theatre Hamlet Tempest Much Ado
“The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good - in spite of all the people who say he is very good.” ÐRobert Graves
A rare set of the plays of William Shakespeare. This set includes the most famous works of Shakespearean theatre including Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado, and Merry Wives of Windsor. This edition uses the famous George Steevens corrections and edits. According to Lowndes,
“George Steevens editions superseded all previous editions and became the standard for future editors and publishers."
This 1793 edition is extremely desirable as it includes the famed plays of Shakespeare, but it also features a historical commentary and account of English theatre by Edmond Malone.

Price: $750
