Each book includes an essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare's time, an introduction to the individual play, and a detailed note on the text used.
William Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon in April 1564,
and his birth is traditionally celebrated on April 23. The facts of
his life, known from surviving documents, are sparse. He died on
April 23, 1616, and was buried in Holy Trinity Church,
Stratford.

Stratford-upon-Avon, and a professor of Shakespeare studies at the
University of Birmingham. He is now McMeel Family Chair of
Shakespeare Studies at the University of Notre Dame.
