Distills the best, most widely read and produced of Shakespeare’s plays

In one compact volume, The Necessary Shakespeare captures Shakespeare’s proficiency as a remarkable poet and dramatist across different genres. The 20 plays (categorized as comedies, histories or tragedies) and sample of sonnets offered are arranged to emulate the First Folio of 1623. The selections featured were chosen with feedback from instructors across the country, who deem each work truly “necessary” in the undergraduate classroom. Plays span from early works like The Taming of the Shrew to Richard the Third to The Tempest.

The 5th Edition borrows features in pedagogy and approach from Bevington’s The Complete Works of Shakespeare, a more comprehensive collection of Shakespeare’s works.
