Post Shakespeare, William: Shakespeare's Tragedies. v2, 10 Jan 2009

An omnibus edition of the complete tragedies of William Shakespeare. The plays in this volume are:
  • Antony and Cleopatra
  • Coriolanus
  • Cymbeline
  • Hamlet
  • Julius Caesar
  • King Lear
  • Macbeth
  • Othello
  • Romeo and Juliet
  • Timon of Athens
  • Titus Andronicus
  • Troilus and Cressida

This is very much a "work in progress" and there are numerous improvements which could be made, I'm sure. It is, however, a starting point.

Enjoy!

EDIT: 10 Jan 09

The text in Shakespeare's plays is of two types: poetry (generally blank verse) and prose. I've reformed the prose into paragraphs which "word wrap" normally on the reading device, rather than fixed length lines with hard line breaks at the end of each line. This works a great deal better. Uploaded v2.

Thanks Harry. Shakespeares words, no matter how you write them, seem to form themselves naturally (As the great master, Ernie Wise would have put it) "In the way wot he wrote it."

I was reading Julius Caesar earlier and found some typos, but the worst occurs in Act III Sc I, after the murder. Antony, facing the assassins, says:

Here didst thou fall; and here thy hunters stand,
Sign'd in thy spoil, and crimson'd in thy death. -

That 'death' should be 'Lethe'. While reading mostly from the e-version I had two hardback copies open at the same time. I was interested in differences between a 1930s copy, the recent RSC version, and the one from MR. I was also listening to a dramatised audiobook!!!

Multi-tasking day!
