Shakespeare - Wordsworth Classic Editions

Wordsworth Classics

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex.

The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare's Series presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.

Each volume in the series has been newly edited by Cedric Watts, described by Edward Said as ‘a man for whom the enjoyment and enrichment of friends and students is the main consideration in what he does’.

Wordsworth Classics have over 200 titles from the finest works of literature. Most of these titles have exclusive introductions which are indispensable for both avid readers and students. Their paperbacks have always been considered a bargain and this low price point is something they work hard to maintain in order to ensure they continue to bring affordable classic literature to both students and the general public
