title: 'Collection of Shakespearean Works - vintage'
description: 'A collection of Shakespearean texts :
\'Romeo and Juliet\', Blackie & Sons - a clean and concise little booklet, slightly bowdlerised ( pencil note on title page reflects that a rude joke @1.3.106 has been cut.) I checked elsewhere and it\'s a classic panto double - entendre bomb. Made me laugh! 

 \'Macbeth\', Hardback, 1927 reprint of 1921. J M Dent pub, Norman Hepple MA Mlit ed., with dedication to pupils fallen in the great War, a note on Scots history and an Acting Appendix by Evelyn Smith. A good and honest reflection of how it was done in the 1920s. 
Great for any director wanting to do Shakespeare in 20s period style! 

 \'A Midsummer Night\'s Dream\', Blackie & Sons. Very dirty cloth cover, but complete, this Bowdlerised Junior Schools edition is undated, but looks to be around 1900 on good quality paper. Introduction, Notes & list of "Passages to be Learnt" by W F Bagust.

Romeo & Juliet - J M Dent, New Temple Shakespeare.  M R Ridley, ed.
1935 1st Ed in great condition - a handsome little hard cover pocket- sized book with gold logo and title.
