misskrislm's review against another edition

I skipped around reading this for an independent study course. I read Julius Caesar, Titus Andronicus, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus, Timon of Athens, Pericles, and Cymbeline. These translations were very nice, but some of the footnotes seemed ridiculously unnecessary, but that may just be my personal opinion.

So the way this is going to work is this: Starting now (1/9/19) I'll make a note of which plays I read each year. I like to read at least two, usually in the summer, to keep my hand in. I've done my best to list below the dates on which I think I read the plays before this year, but no guarantees. Someday I'm really going to have to read the poetry instead of just the plays...

What am I going to say about this that hasn't already been said? I love Shakespeare in all his "matey genius." My favorites are Macbeth, King Lear, and the Tempest.
