Description
1899 Plays of Shakespeare for Young Lamb Illustrated Romeo Juliet Othello Hamlet
“The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good - in spite of all the people who say he is very good.”–Robert Graves
In the early 19th-century, the plays of William Shakespeare were immensely popular throughout Europe, especially in Britain. However, the works themselves were more difficult to comprehend for younger audiences. Charles Lamb, and his sister Mary, sought to make the stories of Shakespeare familiar and accessible to young readers. Though, whenever possible, Lamb incorporated as much of Shakespeare’s own words into the works as possible. This finely illustrated, 1899 edition features the following Shakespearean works:
•‘The Tempest’
•‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’
•‘The Winter’s Tale’
•‘Much Ado About Nothing’
•‘As You Like It’
•‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’
•‘The Merchant of Venice’
•‘Cymbeline’
•‘King Lear’
•‘Macbeth’
•‘All’s Well that Ends Well’
•‘The Taming of the Shrew’
•‘The Comedy of Errors’
•‘Measure for Measure’
•‘Twelfth Night’
•‘Timon of Athens’
•‘Romeo and Juliet’
•‘Hamlet’
•‘Othello’
