The Complete Oxford Shakespeare: Volume II: Comedies: 002 (The Oxford Shakespeare)

Here in a handy paperback format are all Shakespeare's Comedies (there are companion volumes of the Histories and Tragedies), with excellent brief introduction, and the texts established by the Complete Oxford Shakespeare, which was re-edited afresh from the original editions. Critics acclaimed it as `the most ambitious edition of the works ever attempted' (Times Higher Education Supplement) and `the most interesting edition of Shakespeare since the First Folio ... here are the plays as they were acted by Shakespeare's company' (John Carey, Sunday Times).

Stanley Wells is Chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, and Emeritus Professor of the Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham (formerly Director 1988-97). He has been general editor of the Oxford Shakespeare since 1978. Gary Taylor is at Brandeis University, Massachusetts.
