"This beautifully produced 19th-century volume from The Chandos Poets series presents the complete works of William Shakespeare, including a biographical introduction, glossary, and textual notes comparing early editions with those of later commentators. The edition opens with a fine steel-engraved portrait of Shakespeare taken from the famous "Chandos" painting, giving the collection both historical and aesthetic appeal. The text is carefully printed, capturing the full range of Shakespeare's plays and poems—his comedies, histories, tragedies, and sonnets—faithfully reprinted to preserve the integrity of his language and style.
Elegantly bound in full red pebbled leather with gilt spine titles, raised bands, and all page edges gilt, this Frederick Warne & Co. edition exemplifies the high production values of Victorian literary publishing. A distinguished collectible for lovers of Shakespearean literature, Victorian bindings, or the celebrated Chandos Poets series."
