William Shakespeare in Penguin Books
Martin Yates has provided a very readable survey of works (and early computer software) written by or about Shakespeare, published by Penguin, as well as lists of the various Shakespeare series.
This is the first volume in the Penguin Papers series, the second being Maigret and the Penguin Books [2015] by James Mackay. The series intends to provide relatively modest but still well researched material on any aspect of Penguin.
This first Penguin Paper is in three main parts – text, tables and images:
1) A narrative description of the books, with thumbnail images of the main series. It begins with the plays series, which include the ‘non dramatic poetry’, and then describes the many ways Shakespeare’s works have been collected, selected and written about.
2) Reference lists of the series, the plays, the Shakespeare studies and the main contributors.
3) An ‘image library’ giving a representative selection of the very varied cover art.
B format, 12.9 x 19.8 cms, 56 pages with numerous illustrations in colour
