Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

The Pictorial Edition of the Works. A handsomely bound second edition of Charles Knight's illustrated Shakespeare, originally published between 1838 and 1841. Knight spent time in Stratford as he brought his edition together, seeking both information and inspiration, and going "over all the ground which Shakspere may be supposed to have trodden in childhood, in youth, and in middle age" (Knight, p. 303).
