Sobre este artículo
1774 William Shakespeare PLAYS Illustrated Theatre Julius Caesar Winters Tale 3v
"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 three-volume lot includes some of the most famous works of Shakespearean theatre, including A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and Julius Caesar. The plays in this collection are 'acting versions' of the staged plays, and according to Ritchie and Sabor,
"this edition offers a valuable record of the ways in which the plays were being altered at the time, with an introductory advertisement justifying this practice." (Ritchie & Sabor, p.397)
John Bell, the publisher of this landmark set, provided a "read-along guide to contemporary theatrical display with direct references to the performance of Shakespeare on the contemporary stage, it had commercial appeal." (R&S, p.232).
This beautiful, charming set includes 26 plates depicting scenes from the plays and portraits of actors designed by Edward Edwards.
