The Complete Works of William Shakespeare

"A Shakespeare to be read as an exciting book, with pleasure," is Sybil Thorndike's description. In this text the plays are presented as they appear in the First Folio of 1623. "Pericles" which has been added at the end with the poems and sonnets did not appear in the First Folio. There is no new reading of the text and only variations have been included which are agreed by the best Shakespearean critics. For the most part it is Delius's text that is followed.

Published 1977.
