Tomado del prefacio: "No other author has been quoted or referred to more frequently, and yet the literary legacy that Shakespeare has left is unfortunately shared by too few. Available to all, it is unknown by too many. This edition of the complete works of the famous bard contains a new feature that has not been included previously. The most famous passages, ones that have been quoted most frequently and those dealing with daily philosophy, have been carefully selected and printed in red. This has resulted in revealing much of the rich literary style that has heretofore been hidden from the casual reader. This red-letter edition should find many eager users among writers, students and speakers as well as all lovers of Shakespeare. A comprehensive, topical concordance at the end of the volume is keyed to the passages marked in red and provides an easy means of locating any desired quotation. It is the publisher's hope that this treatment will shed a translucent light on the immortality of Shakespeare's work for those who have yet to discover the richness they have heretofore denied themselves."

Includes introduction, biography, an introductionto each play, concordance, glossary and self-pronouncing index to characters.
