This volume collects the complete writings of William Shakespeare (1564–1616, Wikipedia):
¶ Attachment 114003 ¶ COMEDIES The Comedy of Errors The Taming of the Shrew The Two Gentlemen of Verona Love’s Labor’s Lost A Midsummer Night’s Dream The Merchant of Venice The Merry Wives of Windsor Much Ado about Nothing As You Like It Twelfth Night, or What You Will The History of Troilus and Cressida All’s Well That Ends Well Measure for Measure ¶ HISTORIES The First Part of Henry the Sixth The Second Part of Henry the Sixth The Third Part of Henry the Sixth The Tragedy of Richard the Third The Life and Death of King John The Tragedy of King Richard the Second The First Part of Henry the Fourth The Second Part of Henry the Fourth The Life of Henry the Fifth The Famous History of the Life of King Henry the Eighth ¶ TRAGEDIES The Tragedy of Titus Andronicus The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet The Tragedy of Julius Caesar The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice The Tragedy of King Lear The Tragedy of Macbeth The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra The Tragedy of Coriolanus The Life of Timon of Athens ¶ ROMANCES Pericles, Prince of Tyre Cymbeline The Winter’s Tale The Tempest The Two Noble Kinsmen ¶ POEMS Venus and Adonis The Rape of Lucrece Sonnets A Lover’s Complaint The Passionate Pilgrim The Phoenix and Turtle ¶ The texts follow the 1974 Riverside edition of his complete works, which should explain why some of the apocryphal plays are not included while a few poems which are not from Shakespeare’s hand are. The formatting has been corrected and reflects the difference between prose and verse sections in his plays by using justified and left-aligned text. Fonts are embedded for small caps, spaced characters, and engraved headings. From the myriads of illustrations for Shakespeare plays I went with the engravings John Boydell commissioned for his Boydell Shakespeare Gallery, an ambitious project initiated in 1786 resulting in a gallery of paintings, a folio of engraved prints, and an illustrated edition of Shakespeare’s works. I have included 150 pictures at the end of the scenes they illustrate, each noting the names of the painter and the engraver. The cover of this volume uses William Leney’s engraving of John Downman’s painting for As You Like It, act I, scene II. Best, pynch. |
It is wonderful. Thank you so much Pynch. Could you give us some hints of your next project?
|
My hints were too easy the last time, so I prefer not to!
|
The illustrations are so nice, thank you very much for this.

Thank you very much for this Shakespeare edition. I almost started to read The Life of Henry the Fifth, one of my favourite plays. It's really a pleasure to look at this text again with your very well formatted and illustrated digital edition.
