description: This brand new edition accurately reproduces the First Folio of the plays of William Shakespeare letter for letter, dot for dot, but does so in modern type. As a further aid to understanding, on each opposite page, the same text appears, but this time in a fully modernized version. Each volume, scrupulously edited by Shakespeare scholar Nick de Somohyi , also contains two introductions, textual notes, an appendix giving variant versions from the Quarto where appropriate, and a fascimile page from the First Folio.
