The greatest tragic plays of William Shakespeare--including Hamlet,
Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth. What is tragedy? The Elizabethans
defined it as a "lofty" play showing "personages of great state"
caught up in a "lamentable" action that "beginneth prosperously and
endeth unfortunately." Whether judged by this or any other
standard, the plays selected for this collection are considered to
be the four central works of Shakespearean tragedy and must be
included in any list of the world's finest tragic literature. And
to make these plays more accessible for the modern reader, this
edition includes the following special features: - Reliable texts
by noted Shakespeare scholars - Texts printed in the clearest, most
readable type - Names of each speaker given in full - Detailed
footnotes at the bottom of each page keyed to the numbered lines of
the text - Textual notes - Updated bibliography
