With the legal death of perpetual copyright the literary marketplace opened-up with such compilations allowing the work of venerated authors to be used in many ways.

FIRST AND BEST EDITION PRODUCED BY THE SHAKESPEARE HEAD PRESS IN STRATFORD-ON-AVON. The Shakespeare Head Press was the dream child of A. H. Bullen who wished to produce beautiful editions of Shakespeare’s works-- set printed and bound in the famed author’s home town of Stratford-Upon-Avon. The press expanded significantly over the years and printed many wonderful editions by a plethora of writers.<br> The books were printed for A.H. Bullen and F. Sidgwick at the press in the house of Julius Shaw the poet's friend and one of the witnesses to his will. The text with essays by H.C. Beeching Robert Bridges Henry Davey E.K. Chambers J.J. Jusserand and M.H. Spielmann. The type was composed under the supervision of T.E. Summerton. The whole was printed by F.S. Cooper. The work was begun in July 1904 and finished in January 1907.<br> Colin Franklin writing in THE PRIVATE PRESSES says that in the years after the death of A. H. Bullen the Press's founder the Shakespeare Head Press "became the most mature and sophisticated of the private presses producing some works in the grand manner which are a great pleasure to read and examine now" p. 147. This set indeed is "in the grand manner" beautifully printed on fine paper and very handsomely bound and presented.<br> This is a pleasing set internally showing the full effect of the beautiful Shakespeare Head Press printing of Shakespeare. The bindings have seen much better days but are still reasonably presentable. The Shakespeare Head Press hardcover
196834798New York: W. W. Norton 1968. The First Issuance of the famous Norton Facsimile this copy with the original prospectus. photographically rendered facsimile of the First Folio of Shakespeare 1623. Folio publisher's full red morocco over red cloth covered boards in protective slipcase the spine with raised bands gilt ruled the compartments lettered and decorated in gilt ribbon marker red decorated endpapers. xxxvii 928 pp. A pristine copy as mint. AN IMPORTANT PRINTING AND PUBLISHING EVENT. Because of the peculiarities regarding the printing of the First Folio of the eighty or so copies at the Folger Library no two copies are identical. Professor Hinman was able to collate the Folger copies and discover all the variant readings and corrections made during the print run and for this facsimile he provides the finally corrected state of every page. As the advertisement states this is "a facsimile not of 'a' Folio but 'the' Folio." Each page is photographically reproduced without retouching or opaquing in the original size.<br> Professor Hinman has provided a valuable introduction as well as a new standardized line-numbering which replaces the standard but quite faulty act-scene-line numbers of the old Globe edition of 1864. This edition also reproduces two original proof sheets with proofreader's marks. W. W. Norton hardcover

19446199<p><strong>First edition of '<em>Antony and Cleopatra</em>' translated by Pasternak</strong>. This is the only separate edition of his translation. Printed during wartime approved for printing on June 3 1944.</p><p>This is the third Shakespeare play translated by <strong>Boris Pasternak</strong> 1890-1960 commissioned by the Moscow Art Theatre. He began work on it immediately after completing the translation of '<em>Romeo and Juliet</em>'. By the end of June 1943 the translation was ready for printing. Soviet literary critic Mikhail Morozov described this translation as '<em>the most successful</em>' emphasizing that it transcended mere translation to become a poetic dialogue between two poets. Pasternak himself likened Cleopatra to '<em>the Nastasya Filippovna of antiquity</em>' drawing parallels with heroines such as Anna Karenina and Madame Bovary. <br />Illustrations were created by <strong>Mikhail Pikov</strong> 1903-1973 a student of VKhUTEMAS under Vladimir Favorsky known for his mastery of woodcut techniques.</p><p>Zakharenko 1995. # 114.</p> OGIZ, Goslitizdat paperback

19446179<p><strong>Wartime edition. First edition of '<em>Romeo and Juliet'</em> in Pasternak's adaptation for children.</strong></p><p>At the end of the 1930s Pasternak became a translator: '.<em>.not by good fortune through misprision and if conditions were better I ought not to be translating at all'</em> Makaryk McHugh. Shakespeare and the Second World War. 2012.<br />Two extracts from '<em>Romeo and Juliet'</em> appeared in magazines in 1941 '30 Dney' No 4 and 'Internatsional'naya Literatura' No 5 but the beginning of WWII interrupted his work. In October 1941 Pasternak was evacuated to Chistopol where he finished the translation in February 1942. He wrote to his first wife Eugeniya Pasternak that he was totally absorbed in his work and had not written to anyone for more than two months — 'a conscious sacrifice for "<em>Romeo and Juliet"'</em>Sergeeva-Klyatis. Pasternak v Zhizni. 2015. It costs him 'more pain' than '<em>Hamlet'</em> the first Shakespeare play translated by Pasternak. In Chistopol he gave a public reading at Teacher's House on February 26. Tickets cost four and five rubles and '<em>the event was held as a benefit performance for soldiers of the Red Army'</em> Boris Pasternak: A Literary Biography. Vol. 2. 2004. After the first extremely rare collotype edition 100 copies only the play was not published for a year. Pasternak believed that it was due to the deteriorating political situation between the Soviet Union and the UK: '.<em>.it had an effect on Shakespeare and after him on me so my shares falling.'</em> Lucenko. ".Pod Ruku s Morozovym". 2016.<br />The first official edition was published in <em>OGIZ</em> in February 1944 and the next edition was supposed to appear in <em>Detgiz</em> the state publishing house of children's literature. The author of the preface a literary critic Shakespearean <strong>Mikhail Morozov</strong> 1897–1952 called this translation 'a magnificent artistic creation' but he also considered that this translation is not for children. Pasternak corrected edited and shortened the translation especially for children.<br />Most likely an artist <strong>Elena Rodionova</strong> 1912–1996 prepared these illustrations of '<em>Romeo and Juliet'</em> before WWII. For the first time the illustration with the balcony scene appeared in the magazine '<em>30 Dney'</em> '30 Days' No 4 1941 p. 42.</p><p>Zakharenko 1955. # 113.</p> Detgiz paperback

Quarto handsomely bound in the publisher's original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine and red titles with dark green pictorial decorations to the upper cover. xxxvi 143 1 pp. A beautiful copy bright and fresh the binding is very attractive and finely preserved internally well preserved with some of the usual spotting occasional to the foredges a bit of mellowing the plates and tissue guards all in excellent condition. SHAKEPEARE'S PLEASANT WORK PRESENTED IN aS PLEASING AN ILLUSTRATED format as one could hope to find. Hugh Thomson’s delightfully detailed and skillful illustrations would be hard to surpass making this a true gem in its pretty binding. Thomson's pen-and-ink drawings are in much the same style as those he did for works by Jane Austen and Charles Dickens.<br> As You Like It is a pastoral comedy by William Shakespeare believed to have been written in 1599 and first published in the First Folio in 1623. The play's first performance is uncertain though a performance at Wilton House in 1603 the house having been a focus for literary activity under Mary Sidney for much of the later 16th century has been suggested as a possibility. <br> The play follows its heroine Rosalind as she flees persecution in her uncle's court accompanied by her cousin Celia to find safety and eventually love in the Forest of Arden. In the forest they encounter a variety of memorable characters notably the melancholy traveller Jaques who speaks one of Shakespeare's most famous speeches "All the world's a stage" and provides a sharp contrast to the other characters in the play always observing and disputing the hardships of life in the country.
