The Complete Works

The Complete Works is a collection bringing together the complete dramatic and poetic works of William Shakespeare.

We are facing a literary treasure of more than 4000 pages, collecting the whole of Shakespeare's surviving work — the tragedies, the comedies, the histories, and the poems. Ideal for anyone in love with the work of one of the most influential writers in the history of literature, not only in the English language, but worldwide.

Shakespeare explores the complexities of love, social intrigue, ambition, and revenge, and the history plays give a vivid, if partial, view of key figures and events in English history.

In addition, his sonnets and poems offer a more intimate look at the themes of love, beauty, and mortality. Deeply emotional and linguistically rich, they are a must-read for any Shakespeare fan.

The volume also contains the 154 sonnets and the narrative poems, which have held their readers for four centuries. The extract below is the opening of Sonnet 73.

"That time of year thou mayst in me behold,
When yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang."
