The Complete Works of Shakespeare (4th Edition)

Rating:
Summary: A COMPLETE LITERARY CLASSIC
Review: There is nothing that can be said about William Shakespeare that has not been said already; and very few of them are disputable. It feels good having all his works: those Comedies, Tragedies, Histories, and Poetries in one convenient volume. This 'Complete Works' is for sure a complete literary classic.

Summary: If I were to rank it 1 to 10, I would give it eleven!
Review: This book was excellent- the commentary was extremely useful in interpreting the text, and Shakespeare himself was quite magnificent. He shows the capabilities of the mind, to the far reaches of our feelings, while philosophically expressing himself in the way we work.

Rating:
Summary: This is for anyone who loves literature
Review: This is a book to the heart, with the wisdom of the life. It is for anyone who really loves the great literature, drama, and the best poetry

Rating:
Summary: Shakespeare Complete
Review: This is truly a great book. Not only does it contain all of Shakespeare's works but it also has an enormous amount of information. There's a little bit on his life and a bit more about the theater during his time. There are also some great drawings in the beginning of the book.

Summary: Great editing from my favorite college professor
Review: When I was a first year in college I took a Greek Thought and Literature class with David Bevington. His lectures are very much like the introductions in this edition. It was one of the most rewarding experiences in reading literature that I have ever had and I am an avid reader. Recently I had been looking for the definitive Complete Works of William Shakespeare, and bought Mr. Bevington's edition immediately. I was not disappointed. This is the way Shakespeare should be read by modern audiences. His introductions offer many insights and are a joy to read. No library is complete without Shakespeare, this anthology of the Bard is surely one of the best one out there.
