"Extracted from the best-selling text The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Fourth Edition, The Necessary Shakespeare offers comprehensive, scholarly apparatus. It provides extensive introductions to the plays and poems, offering discussion topics, sources for each play, and the stage history of performances. The 20 most popular plays, sonnets, historical photographs, maps, and a royal genealogy of England make The Necessary Shakespeare a truly concise and complete anthology."--BOOK JACKET.
