Description
1893 BEAUTIFUL Shakespeare Plays Lamb Romeo Juliet Othello Hamlet Illustrated
In the early 19th-century, the plays of William Shakespeare were immensely popular throughout Europe, especially in Britain. However, the works themselves were more difficult to comprehend for younger audiences. Charles Lamb, and his sister Mary, sought to make the stories of Shakespeare familiar and accessible to young readers. Though, whenever possible, Lamb incorporated as much of Shakespeares own words into the works as possible.
This richly illustrated, late 19th-century two-volume edition includes notable Shakespearean works such as Romeo and Juliet, The Tempest, Othello and Macbeth and includes additions by Harrison Morris.
