William Shakespeare: The Complete Works Reviews

remains the mo,st distinctive, and in many ways the best, one-volume Shakespeare currently available and will not be easily replaced. * Forum for Modern Languages *
beautifully produced * Brian Vickers, Times Literary Supplement *
Pound for pound the most consistently interesting and provocative edition of Shakespeare ever published. * Andrew Murphy, Around the Globe *
Oxford has launched- the ballistic image does seem apt- a second single volume version of its revolutionary edition, which first excited and outraged Shakespeareans in 1986. Oxford's Complete Works has a solid, traditional look but explodes into cutting-edge controversy inside. * Independent *
