Complete Works of William Shakespeare - Unabridged (eBook)

Without question the most influential, brilliant and beloved writer in the English language, William Shakespeare began as a simple poet and would-be actor, but after joining the Lord Chamberlain's Men acting company in London (later, the King's Men), he began writing plays and his works would go on to become the most performed theatrical pieces on the planet. It is difficult to encapsulate the scope and impact of Shakespeare's writings. Entire multi-million dollar theatre companies are devoted to the performance of his plays. His scripts have been translated into every language, adapted, re-crafted, turned into musicals, films, and mounted in countless high school, college, regional and professional productions all around the world. In short, William Shakespeare is the world's most renowned and best-known playwright and here, Fort Raphael Publishing has collected his entire canon, including the 154 short love poems he penned (The Sonnets), his thirty-eight plays - including Hamlet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar and Romeo and Juliet - and his five long-form poems, including The Rape of Lucrece and Venus and Adonis. A massive and unabridged collection of Shakespeare's complete works, we are proud to present them here in their original format, along with a brief biography of the author.
