This edition of four of Shakespeare's great tragedies is designed for the enjoyment of the modern reader. The complete CAMBRIDGE TEXT of each play is clear and understandable. The story of each play is summed up briefly by J. Walker McSpadden.

A glossary at the end of the book explains all unusual words and terms. The casts of characters are illustrated by Louis Glanzman.

Mark Van Doren's fine prefaces introduce each play, casting new light on some of the most inspired writing in the English language.
