Description: Two Shakespeare comedies, A Midsummer-Night's Dream, 1890, and Merchant of Venice, 1887,edited by William J. Rolfe, an American educator and Shakespearean scholar. The ~40 volumes Rolfe edited proved to be the be the best-selling versions in America (during a time of increased use of Shakespeare in high school classrooms) due to his credentials as a high school administrator (he was formerly Head Master of The High School, Cambridge, Mass.)and to his use of bowdlerization of the text to remove much of Shakespeare's lewd content. Previously owned. Both books have intact tight spine and clean text block. The Merchant has considerable writing inside front cover. (see photo)The Dream has minor markings inside front and rear cover boards. Both have light cover edge wear. Both have red colored page edges. From a pet-free and smoke-free home. Books poly bagged for protection. We carefully pack and promptly ship via Media Mail; Priority Mail is optional.
