World of Shakespeare: The Complete Plays and Sonnets of William Shakespeare (38 Volume Library) (Hardcover)



World of Shakespeare: The Complete Plays and Sonnets of William Shakespeare (38 Volume Library) (Hardcover)
I had been trying to find a way to really enjoy and learn from Shakespeare who is without a doubt the world's greatest writer in what is my second perusal of Shakespeare since my days as an English major in college.
I have tried the Oxford world classics which in some cases are too big and very hard to underline and make notes.
The Everyman's series is separated into volumes of plays which average 600 pages and are easy to read in the middle but difficult to read the first and last plays due to the layout of the volumes.
I really like this series and it is the best layout for actually reading for enjoyment and for underlining and making notes. Perfect for students and general readers.
The ONLY drawback is that it does not contain the narrative poems other than the sonnets nor The two noble kinsmen which Shakespeare cowrote and is usually included in his cannon.
