About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, Ltd., 1925. Unknown . Used - very good. 8vo; Unique copy, in full vellum with (calf?) leather label on front over, with tiny chips to the inside edge. 4 slits on both the front and rear panel and ribbons attached to endpapers, but we cannot figure out how the two 'tie in' together. Although we could have glued the loose endpapers, we left them loose so one could study the workings of the binding better. Most pages with a lightly penciled number on upper fore-edge corner (binder's marks?). Laid in is a business card, postcard size, from the former Quilter's Bookshop, Wellington, NZ.
Synopsis
"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart)The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged.Each volume features:* Authoritative, reliable texts* High quality introductions and notes* New, more readable trade trim size* An essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts
