This beautiful collection is the product of years of full-time research by a team of British and American scholars and represents the most thorough examination ever undertaken of the nature and authority of Shakespeare's work. The editors reconsidered every detail of the text in the light of modern scholarship and they thoroughly re-examined the earliest printed versions of the plays, firmly establishing the canon and chronological order of composition. All stage directions have been reconsidered in light of original staging, and many new directions for essential action have been added. This superb volume also features a brief introduction to each work as well as an illuminating General Introduction. Finally, the editors have added a wealth of secondary material, including an essay on language, a list of contemporary allusions to Shakespeare, an index of Shakespearean characters, a glossary, a consolidated bibliography, and an index of first lines of the Sonnets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCompiled by the world's leading authorities, packed with information, and attractively designed, \u003cem\u003eThe Oxford Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e is the gold standard of Shakespearean anthologies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStanley Wells\u003c\/strong\u003e is Emeritus Professor of Shakespeare Studies at the University of Birmingham, the Chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and Vice-Chairman of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. \u003cstrong\u003eGary Taylor\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor in the English Department at the University of Alabama. \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Jowett\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate General Editor of the Oxford Collected Works of Thomas Middleton and co-author of \u003cem\u003eShakespeare Reshaped 1606-23\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Montgomery\u003c\/strong\u003e works for the \u003cem\u003eGuardian\u003c\/em\u003e newspaper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1424\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.1 x 9.4 x 7.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53337043665261,"sku":"9780199267170","price":55.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1001\/0823\/9213\/files\/bx7ifimoSF9780199267170.webp?v=1778922909","url":"https:\/\/cleanfreaklab.myshopify.com\/products\/the-oxford-shakespeare-the-complete-works-hardcover","provider":"Clean Freak Lab","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
