"William Shakespeare is one of the most quoted writers of all time. Many of his phrases have become well-known idioms and passed into general usage, transforming the history of the English language. This short, accessible collection of quotations is a perfect introduction to the works of William Shakespeare, covering each of his canonical plays and a selection of sonnets and poems. The quotes are accompanied by a short description giving context and date, and are illustrated with facsimile reproductions of the first printed edition of the work in the British Library. Some examples are the most celebrated and familiar of all Shakespeare's lines, while others have been chosen for the importance they hold within the play or the light they throw on a particular character."--Page [4] of cover.
