Four of the Bard's most famous comedies--including The Taming of the Shrew, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and The Tempest.

This is certainly true of the four masterworks selected for this collection, each of which represents a significant stage in the Bard's development as a writer. Reading these plays, we sample the whole comic spectrum of the Elizabethan world.

- An overview of William Shakespeare's life, world, and theater
- A special introduction by the series' general editor, Sylvan Barnet
