From the Royal Shakespeare Company and Macmillan comes this stunning new edition of The Complete Works of Shakespeare, combining cutting edge scholarship with elegant writing and design.
The RSC Shakespeare: The Complete Works
'This is a glorious edition of one of the world's most important books. It's the essential reference book for anyone who's ever been in love, felt jealousy, fear, hatred, or desire. All human life is here - and every home should have one.'
Judi Dench
 This landmark new edition of William Shakespeare's Complete Works contains the 36 plays included in the First Folio, the Sonnets, Venus and Adonis, The Rape of Lucrece, The Phoenix and the Turtle, Pericles, The Two Noble Kinsmen and a scene from Sir Thomas More.
The First Folio, the first printed edition of Shakespeare's plays, is a literary icon and is the version of Shakespeare's text preferred by many actors and directors, yet astonishingly no-one has edited it in its entirety for over three hundred years.
The wealth of features enclosed in this volume will appeal to theatre-goers, students and scholars alike.

'Thanks to Bate and Rasmussen, we now have a rendering of The Complete Works that, in a rare publishing achievement, would also give complete satisfaction to the author himself.'
