The world-renowned single-volume Alexander Text of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare, redesigned and reset for ease of use.

Described in The Guardian on its first publication in 1951 as ‘a symbol in the history of our national culture’, the Collins edition of the Complete Works of William Shakespeare, edited by the late Professor Peter Alexander, has long been established as one of the most authoritative editions of Shakespeare’s works, and was chosen by the BBC as the basis for its televised cycle of the plays.

Completely reset in 1994 and given a modern, reader-friendly design, the new edition also includes two specially written articles on Shakespeare’s life and work by two great critics: an illuminating biography of Shakespeare by Germaine Greer, and a wide-ranging introduction to Shakespeare’s theatre by the late Anthony Burgess.

William Shakespeare is widely regarded as the greatest playwright the world has seen. He produced an astonishing amount of work; 37 plays, 154 sonnets, and 5 poems. He died on 23rd April 1616, aged 52, and was buried in the Holy Trinity Church, Stratford.

Germaine Greer is a major cultural figure – a writer, an English critic, a literary and media star, and a feminist.
