The Complete Works of Shakespeare

Other ratings said that there was definitions of some of the old world words at the bottom of the pages which is why I bought this particular version. There is not, the defintions are in the back of the book which make it harder to read for someone not versed in old English. Otherwise I would have given it 5 stars.

The reviews for this were for the Bevington edition with annotations, modernized spelling, intros to each play, etc. This ain't it. There are none of those extras, and the spelling is about as easy to read as middle English Chaucer. I may not be able to figure out how to get my $2.18 back, but I'm removing this offal from my phone. It's amazing how the store gets away with using reviews from a good addition to sell a poor one. I realized moments after writing this review that there are only three plays in the whole book - you've got to be kidding me!

Horrible edition. No table of contents. Impossible to navigate. Atrocious print type. And worst of all, fraudulently represented as "Complete" when this edition is most assuredly INCOMPLETE. Save yourself the trouble of returning it and don't buy this edition in the first place.

Unfortunately, the book arrived with the hard cover unglued on one side. I needed it for a class, so had no time to return it,,,Otherwise, I like this edition. The notes are just what is needed for the modern reader to understand the text. No more, no less. The introductions and other critical material are concise and to the point.

The Kindle version is *NOT* the complete set of Shakespeare's works. I need to access "Henry V" for my Shakespeare class and this download did not contain this play. Highly disappointed with the lack of clarification given by the seller.
