Features: William Shakespeare was a great dramatist and poet of the English Renaissance. His works, except for the poetry he wrote in his early years, mainly consist of 37 verse dramas written in unrhymed verse. The revolutionary leaders Marx and Engels were very fond of Shakespeare's plays. They not only frequently quoted Shakespeare's dramatic works and characters in their own writings but also, when discussing the art of drama, fully recognized Shakespeare's position in the history of drama, pointed out his outstanding achievements in realistic creation, and proposed the principle of "Shakespeareanization" in writing, which means starting from real life rather than abstract concepts and shaping vivid and richly plotted typical characters. Shakespeare's works resonate throughout the world of literature, thought, and even philosophy, and their influence no longer belongs to a single era. His works have been passed down as a precious cultural heritage of all humanity and have become one of the important "themes" for later literary creation. This is the volume of our published "Complete Works of Shakespeare."
