THE PARENT SERIES
The New Shakespeare
EDITED BY THE LATE
SIR ARTHUR QUILLER-COUCH
AND
JOHK DOVER WILSON
The New Shakespeare began to appear in 1921. Since then the work has gone steadily forward; when 'Q' died, Dr Dover Wilson carried on alone; as the series neared its end he enlisted the support of other distinguished English Shakespearean textual experts.
The series offers, in a set of handy and attractive volumes (the original designer was the great American typographer Bruce Rogers) a text of the plays which takes account of the scholarship of the twentieth century—^in which Dr Dover Wilson was a pioneer. There are very full notes, introductions by the Editors, a Stage-History for each play and a most valuable glossary.
The publishers are confident that even after thirty years of new work on Shakespeare's text (and successive volumes have always taken account of it) this is still the best scholarly edition.

The Cambridge Pocket Shakespeare gives the New text, with up-to-date corrections, and the glossary. It gives the general reader a set of plain texts of the plays in a cheap, pleasant, portable and permanent form.

rA^ Cambridge Pocket Shakespeare
GENERAL EDITOR
JOHN DOVER WILSON
The Cambridge Pocket Shakespeare provides a good text of Shakespeare's plays, attractively printed, permanently and pleasantly bonnd, and at a very reasonable price. The actor, the student and the ordinary reader can now buy their favourite plays, or collect the set, in a text they can trust and a shape they can continue to enjoy.
The text is that of the New Shakespeare^ upon which Dr John Dover Wilson and his colleagues have spent some thirty years of pioneer scholarship (the earlier plays will be revised where necessary to bring them up-to-date). The New Shakespeare glossary—^the best available—is printed at the end of each play.
The basic design of the page is that produced by Bruce Rogers for the New Shakespeare. The binding is sewn, in stiflf boards covered with fade-proof cloth, and blocked in gold. In short, a set of attractive permanent small volumes, a pleasure to the eye, gay on the shelf, easy in the pocket, best of all in the hand. Vissza
