Tragedies Volume 1
Volume 1 of the Everyman Shakespeare, published in 1992, includes the four major tragedies: Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, and Macbeth.
The authoritatively edited texts of the plays are supplemented with extensive bibliographies, a chronology of Shakespeare's life and times, and a substantial introduction in which Professor Tony Tanner examines Shakespeare's evolution as a tragedian while also providing detailed discussions of the individual plays.
This is the only two-volume edition of the tragedies with such comprehensive apparatus, and it will eventually form part of a complete Shakespeare (plays and poems) in eight volumes.
