This remarkable volume comprises not only twenty-one of Shakespeare's plays but also all of the sonnets, accompanied by a comprehensive General Introduction that addresses questions of context, language, and critical reception, and appendices that explore dates and alternate texts, sources, Shakespeare in performance, and a new guide to current films—an extraordinary and indeed necessary collection.
