William Shakespeare: The Complete Works, published in 1986, is an entirely fresh edition of Shakespeare in which the original documents have been re-examined in every detail and edited according to the most up-to-date findings of textual scholarship. There is an informative General Introduction and a glossary, along with a brief introduction to each work, providing essential background. The Complete Oxford Shakespeare brings the modern reader closer to Shakespeare's plays as they were first acted than has ever before been possible.
