<strong>Review<br/></strong>“The endurance of Shakespeare depends not only on the felt experience of good, vivid theater, but also on dynamic scholarship that reveals his living text.” <br/>—Michael Boyd, RSC artistic director<br/><br/>“Timely, original, and beautifully conceived, this is a remarkable edition, one that makes Shakespeare’s extraordinary accomplishment more vivid than ever." <br/>–James Shapiro, professor, Columbia University and bestselling author of <i>A Year in the Life of Shakespeare: 1599: </i><br/><br/>“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.” <br/>–Dame Judi Dench, RSC honorary associate artist <br/><br/>“The big book is a new one-volume edition of the complete works, commissioned by the Royal Shakespeare Company and published by the Modern Library. Two eminent Shakespeareans, Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen, have applied modern editing techniques and recent scholarship to correct and update the First Folio, the first collection of the plays, published in 1623. Unlike the smaller-format editions of individual plays known as quartos, the folio edition is thought to preserve the plays as they were performed rather than as originally written, hence the interest of the Royal Shakespeare Company, which is using the updated folio version in its productions of all 36 plays in the 2006-7 season. “In some cases, the Quartos are probably closer to Shakespeare’s original manuscript draft, but the Folio is closer to his playhouse,” Mr. Bate writes in a superb introduction that deals with Shakespeare and his world as well as textual questions.” <br/>–<i>The New York Times<br/><br/></i>“Thanks to Bate and Rasmussen, we now have a rendering of <i>The Complete Works</i> that, in a rare publishing achievement, would also give complete satisfaction to the author himself.”<br/>–Robert McCrum, <i>The Observer<br/><br/></i>“A new and thoroughly radical edition ... supervised by Jonathan Bate, an outstanding scholar (and author of the best existing biography of Shakespeare) who writes with as much elegance as insight about the making of theatre and the creation of the plays ... The editorial decisions are argued in an impeccably informative introduction by Jonathan Bate that gives a comprehensive theatrical, social, political and biographical context to the plays. There are pithy essays, also by Bate, to introduce each play as well as exemplary notes at the foot of each page which translate verbal and topical obscurities ... incomparably useful ... a definitive edition.”<br/>–Richard Eyre, <i>Sunday Telegraph<br/><br/></i>" ... a splendid edition. The general introduction is among the best 50-page guides to Shakespeare you could hope to find, while the short essays prefixed to each play are like the best kind of programme notes - informative, thought-provoking and humane. Marginal notes help readers imagine what\'s happening onstage ... The RSC\'s edition tells you all you need to know about the life, but also, vitally, allows you to lose yourself in the wonder of the works." <br/>–Colin Burrow, Evening Standard <br/><br/>“Jonathan Bate is a passionate advocate of Shakespeare and his introductions to individual plays are full of striking and convincing observations. . .Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen have given us an edition full of endless fascination.” —London <i>Times,</i> Education Supplement <br/><br/><b>Book Description</b><br/>FROM THE WORLD FAMOUS ROYAL SHAKESPEARE COMPANY, THE FIRST AUTHORITATIVE, MODERNIZED, AND CORRECTED EDITION OF SHAKESPEARE’S FIRST FOLIO IN THREE CENTURIES.<br/><br/>Skillfully assembled by Shakespeare’s fellow actors in 1623, the First Folio was the original Complete Works. It is arguably the most important literary work in the English language. But starting with Nicholas Rowe in 1709 and continuing to the present day, Shakespeare editors have mixed Folio and Quarto texts, gradually corrupting the original Complete Works with errors and conflated textual variations.<br/><br/>Now Jonathan Bate and Eric Rasmussen, two of today’s most accomplished Shakespearean scholars, have edited the First Folio as a complete book, resulting in a definitive Complete Works for the twenty-first century.<br/>Combining innovative scholarship with brilliant commentary and textual analysis that emphasizes performance history and values, this landmark edition will be indispensable to students, theater professionals, and general readers alike.<br/><br/>For more information on this Modern Library edition, visit www.therscshakespeare.com <br/>
