King Lear (Shakespeare Folios)

King Lear (Shakespeare Folios)

by WilliamShakespeare (Author), NickDeSomogyi (Editor)

Synopsis

This brand new edition accurately reproduces the First Folio of the plays of William Shakespeare (1623) letter for letter, dot for dot, but does so in modern type. As a further aid to understanding, on each opposite page, the same text appears but this time in a fully modernised version. Each volume, scrupulously edited by Shakespeare scholar Nick de Somogyi, also contains two introductions - one to the series, one to the particular play - textual notes, an appendix giving variant versions from the Quarto where appropriate, and a facsimile page from the First Folio.

Media Reviews
A quite wonderful idea... So blindingly obvious, I can't understand why nobody had thought of it before. I will certainly use the texts myself Peter Hall
