Necessary Shakespeare, The (2nd Edition)

by David Bevington

"Taken from the best-selling The Complete Works of Shakespeare, Fifth Edition, by David Bevington, The Necessary Shakespeare offers the most comprehensive scholarly apparatus, with the most-often taught of Shakespeare's work, creating a concise, yet complete, anthology. Roughly half the length of the complete works, this briefer, more economical, paperback features the complete texts of Shakespeare's twenty most popular plays, plus the complete sonnets."--Jacket.
