1788 The Dramatick Writings of Will. Shakspere
By William Shakespeare
Located in Bath, GB
A beautiful and scarce 'Bell's Edition of Shakespeare', the vanishingly scarce large paper variant, illustrated with engraved plates.
The very scarce complete twenty volume set. A large paper edition, uniformly bound in full morocco.
In 1785, John Bell began to issue the 36 separate plays of Shakespeare individually, collecting them here in twenty volumes in 1788 as the 'Dramatick writings of Will. Shakspere'. The set is scarcely found complete.
The first two volumes here are a remarkably comprehensive and broad 'Prolegomena' to Shakespeare's works, and offer interesting analysis of Shakespeare from an era where many of his plays were often interpreted differently, both in their production and in their critical reception.
The subsequent eighteen volumes consist of the plays themselves, along with notes from Samuel Johnson and George Stevens, a highlight of this particular edition.
Volumes I & II: Prolegomena To The Dramatick Writings of Will. Shakespeare. Nine plates to volume I, and eight to volume II.
Volume III: The Tempest and Two Gentlemen of Verona. Four plates.
Volume IV: The Merry Wives of Windsor and Much Ado About Nothing. Four plates.
Volume V: Measure for Measure and A Comedy of Errors. Four plates.
Volume VI: Love's Labour's Lost and A Midsummer Night's Dream. Four plates.
Volume VII: The Merchant of Venice and As You Like It. Four plates.
Volume VIII: The Taming of The Shrew and All's Well That End's Well. Four plates.
