Shakespeare's Complete works

Students Cambridge Edition. Copyright, 1906, by William Allan Neilson. Book is in good shape and with slight separation from the hard cover. Editors note: The text of the present volume is is the result of an independent examination of the early Quarto and First Folio editions of Shakespeare's works. The version used as a basis has been chosen after a separate investigation of the state of the case for each play; and the grounds for the choice have been indicated in the special introductions. The text will be found to be, in its adherence to the reading of the early editions, slightly more conservative than those in current use. This is especially the case in the matter of stage directions, entrances, exits, and the like; in the treatment of which it has been rendered possible, for the first time in a edition for general reading, to make the important distinction between directions that are contemporary and those that are due to modern editors.
