5.0 out of 5 stars Great bindings and commentaries, April 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Romances (Everyman's Library) (Hardcover)

We all know about Shakespeare, so a review of his writing is not required. However, I would like to say that the Everyman's Library series are worth getting. Unlike omnibus editions (such as the Riverside Shakespeare), these are actually portable so you don't need a table to hold them up while you are reading. The Everyman's Library series have good hardbindings, are conveniently sized to carry around, and have illuminating and extensive introductions. The typeface used is old, but the letters are large and easily readable (something that is a concern with some other editions).

Romances contains: Pericles; Cymbeline; The Winter's Tale; The Tempest

A good collection to have. It seems as if people have the basic Shakespearean tales, but these are some of his best and many people don't know about them. They are easy to read - uncumbersome. Wonderful for the classroom.
