The New International Edition
is based on three centuries of searching criticism. It indicates the
high-water mark of Shakespearean scholarship. All recognized authorities
are represented in the notes and explanatory matter, among them being
Dyce, Coleridge, Dowden, Johnson, Malone, White and Hudson. The sets are
in thirteen handsome volumes--size 7-1/2 x 5-1/2 inches--containing
7,000 pages; attractively bound in cloth and half-leather; 400
illustrations--reproductions of quaint wood-cuts of Shakespeare's time,
and beautiful color plates.
No Other Edition Contains:
=Topical Index:= By means of which the reader can find
any desired passage in the plays and poems.
=Critical Comments= on the plays and characters selected
from the writings of eminent Shakespearian scholars.
=Glossaries following each Play=, so that you do not
have to turn to a separate volume to find the meaning of every
obscure word.
=Two Sets of Notes:= Explanatory notes for the general
reader and critical notes for the student or scholar.
=Arguments:= Preceding each play is an analysis of the
play called the "argument," written in an interesting story-telling
way.
=Study Methods:= A complete method of study on each play,
consisting of study questions and suggestions,--the idea being
to furnish a complete college course of Shakespearian study.
=Life of Shakespeare= by Dr. Israel Gollancz, with critical
essays by Bagehot, Stephen and other distinguished Shakespearian
scholars and critics. This life relates all that the world
really knows about Shakespeare.
