"I went into this thinking I was going to love the History plays the most, but found that they left me mostly flat. What did shock me was finding gems among the lesser known plays that I absolutely loved! Plays like Pericles or Titus Andronicus have had me going back to read them two or more times. The well worn classics that we all know need no acclaim from me; I'm sure Hamlet, Mid Summer Night's Dream, Othello and the rest will sit at the top of people's reading lists for ages to come."

    " To be honest I'm not sure that I've read every play and sonnet in the book, but I've read most of them, and better yet, I've had the opportunity to see most of the plays performed. If you want to enjoy Shakespeare go and watch one of his comedies in a live performance. "

    " Everyone should know this book backwards and forwards. Maybe it's because I'm a drama major, but who doesn't know these stories?!?! So much is to be learned when reading Shakespeare, and he might be one person I would sit down with if given the chance. "

    " The college class I took on Shakespeare's work really cracked it open for me. Knowledge definitely enhances appreciation when it comes to the Bard. This single-volume text includes everything he's written, with annotations. Over 2,000 tissue-thin pages. I just want to pet it. "

    " Yes, I do read Shakespeare. His works tend to infiltrate most of mine. I have been accused of using archaic language, especially when I write poetry; but the master is still the master. I am continually in awe. I guess that's why I am an English Lit major. "

    " It is much easier to read Shakespeare NOT in a large clumsy book. It worked best to make copies of what I wanted to read then to read it...but that killed too many trees. So I keep this book as a library piece and buy the plays in smaller format. "

    " Whether or not you believe that one man named William Shakespeare wrote these plays, it cannot be denied that they are greatly enjoyable on their own and have influenced countless other works of art throughout the ages. "

About William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare (1564–1616), English poet and dramatist of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean period, is the most widely known author in all of English literature and often considered the greatest. He was an active member of a theater company for at least twenty years, during which time he wrote many great plays. Plays were not prized as literature at the time and Shakespeare was not widely read until the middle of the eighteenth century, when a great upsurge of interest in his works began that continues today.
