Book Description
Excerpt from The Works of Shakespeare, Vol. 2 of 10: Edited With Introductions and Notes This Third Volume of The Reader's Shakespeare contains all the Comedies - with the exception of The Tempest, which, as a Romantic Play, is printed in the Second Volume. These Readings do not consist of isolated Selections, but they are original Condensations of each play; including the various plots, and introducing the principal Scenes, Incidents, and Charac ters; rejecting nothing which good taste and experienced judgment should wish to be retained; for, in Shakespeare's Plays, whether per formed on the Stage, presented on the Platform, or read in the family circle, there is much that must be omitted - a great deal that may be omitted - but, happily, with a valuable residuum of poetic beauty, human interest, good sense, good humour, and verbal photography.
