Before Gary loses his mind altogether about how much reading I do, Ive been at this one since April of 2014. I list it as new this year (as I did earlier with the NIV Study Biblein its case also a different translation, something not applicable to Shakespeare) because all the scholarly apparatus is new to me: introductory essays, notes on source texts and variants, general chronology of other events during Shakespeares lifetime, critical surveys of performance history, etc., are new.

I can't say they are useless; they just haven't been of any use to me. There may be other complete works of Shakespeare available, but this one has assured I always have a scholarly edition at hand to read and study. Don't
Every word in the Shakespeare canon has been read. Fuck yeah!
