A review by bettinaballerina
Complete Works by William Shakespeare, Jonathan Bate, Eric Rasmussen

5.0

This edition has really great footnotes and explanations that make the text come alive. It doesn't shy away from the real meanings and double entendres behind Shakespeare's text, and gives a lot of attention to wordplay. Every time I read a play from this edition, I feel like I've gained so much more appreciation for the language than previous attempts with other editions that tried to present it as a "great [and stuffy] work".
