– Early Shakespeare Collection Published by Tonson circa 1734

A superb early part collection of the Tonson edition of The Works of William Shakespeare.

This collection consists of many of Shakespeare’s much loved plays and also includes the following which at the time were attributed to Shakespeare but have since been questioned;

The London Prodigal 1734
The Life and Death of Thomas Lord Cromwell 1734
