1798 PLAYS of William Shakespeare Theatre Hamlet Tempest Romeo & Juliet Steevens

“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

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“George Steevens editions superseded all previous editions and became the standard for future editors and publishers."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 1798 edition is extremely desirable, and in addition to the famed plays of Shakespeare, it includes a ‘life of Shakespeare’ by Rowe. This edition also includes notes and glossary by John Nichols.
