Description

The Royal Shakspere with Introduction by F J Furnivall

Furnivall 's Royal Shakspere was first issued in parts between 1883-84. It was produced in volume form in 1894, subsequently 1898 as here and again in 1905. The present edition is by far the scarcest of the three issues. The text and chronology are those compiled by Professor Nikolaus Delius (1813-1888), Professor of English at the University of Bonn and one of the foremost Shakespearean scholars of his generation. The extended introduction is by F.J. Furnivall, founder and director of the New Shakespere Society. The illustrations are by Bauer, Sherratt and Sharpe (among many others) after illustrations by Green, Richter, Watson and other artists. The series title includes a fine depiction of the Globe Theatre in 1613 engraved by Godfrey after Percival Skelton. The first volume contains a fine 3pp facsimile in red of Shakespeare's will accompanied by a modern transcription. The frontispiece to the third volume also shows the five known autographs of Shakespeare. A nice set in period binding of a notable and important edition.

The Royal Shakespere [Shakespeare]. The Poet's Works in Chronological Order from the Text of Professor Delius. With 'The Two Noble Kinsmen' and 'Edward III' and an Introduction by F.J. Furnivall. Includes Poems and Sonnets.
