Alternate Texts

You will need a fully-annotated, one-volume Shakespeare for this class. I recommend The Complete Pelican Shakespeare, but you may substitute another edition with my approval. If your edition doesn’t have adequate footnotes, I won’t approve it. Editions that do meet my approval include the following:

The Norton Shakespeare (3rd edition — 2015) Stephen Greenblatt, et al, eds.	The Complete Works of Shakespeare (7th edition — 2016) David Bevington, ed.

William Shakespeare Complete Works (Modern Library — 2007) Jonathan Bate & Eric Rasmussen eds.	The Riverside Shakespeare (2nd edition — 1996) G. Blakemore Evans, et al eds.

Single-Volume Editions

You may find single-volume editors of the plays more practical for classroom use than a Complete Works edition. Here are the individual Pelican Shakespeare editions for the five plays we will read this semester.

Midsummer Night’s Dream	1 Henry IV	Twelfth Night
Othello	The Tempest
