Notes:

"First published in 1905 as The Oxford standard authors edition of Shakespeare's works."

Dust jacket cover: The Oxford Shakespeare.

"There is no proof that Shakespeare personally superintended the printing of any of his plays. Although sixteen came separately from the press in small quarto volumes during his lifetime, many, if not all, of these were published without the consent or supervision of the author from copies often surreptitiously obtained from the playhouse. At the time of Shakespeare's death in 1616, no less than twenty-one plays remained in manuscript."--Preface.

Text printed in two columns.
