"William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted."

General wear, scuffing and some cosmetic damage to covers and spine as shown. Pages typically clean, crisp and bright. Lovely inscription to front blank endpaper. Inside hinges split but covers holding strong. Text block sagged. A nice Shakespeare book in good condition overall. Please study photos to further understand condition.
