国内卓越网五十佳评论者Poppy 对这本书的评价很高，不妨一阅：
莎士比亚的剧作，如果要读原著，还是推荐RSC，Royal
Shakespeare Company的版本。我私底下认为这个版本是编辑的最好的版本没有之一。
原因有三：
原因有三：
1.莎士比亚的剧作最初是用来演的而不是被研究的，所以长期演出这些剧作的皇家莎士比亚剧团可以从最贴近舞台的角度来解释作品，还原一种最接近自然的解读；
2.RSC版本的注解，和对于剧本的理解，都很到位；比Oxford等版本，更适合入门级读者；编辑水平也相当高（完全按照第一对开本，可以看出花了不少功夫校对原文）；
3.有引人入胜而不是照本宣科的剧目介绍，对于原著理解非常有帮助；在各剧目单集出版的本里面，还有演出历史的介绍，以及当代演绎过此剧知名导演和演员的采访；听表演者讲他们对剧的理解，也是一个很有意思的角度。
这本合集印刷纸张都不错。当然如果我的话，还是会推荐非合集，即RSC单独剧目的版本，理由见第三条，合集的附加内容部分相对较少。另外，莎剧那么多，未必每出剧你都会去看，或者都有必要看，除非你研究莎士比亚，或者是个深度粉。比如亨利六世我大概以后也不会去看。当然合集么，会比买单本凑齐一套便宜不少，而且国内可能也买不到全部的这个版本的单本剧。
话虽如此，这个版本我是必要收的。
另外在亚马逊中国里面，还能搜到一本封面一样，也是莎士比亚全集的精装本。我研究了一下，Palgrave Macmillan出版的是英国版，那个被冠以modern Library的是美国出版的，内容完全一样，差别就是英国和美国文字上拼写的那些差异。不在意的话其实一样读。

So many
different editions of Shakespeare's work have appeared over the
centuries that you might ask the question "What's so special about
this RSC 'Collectors' Edition', and is it worth the very high
asking price?"
The answer is an unequivocal "Yes": this edition of the complete works of the Bard really is a bit special.
For the core 36 plays, Bate and Rasmussen have gone back to the text of the 1623 first folio compiled by Shakespeare's acting colleagues and titled "Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies". Until now the iconic first folio was never edited in full for more than 300 years; Bate and Rasmussen are to be commended on an excellent job. This edition also contains a number of other works not included in the first folio such as `The Phoenix and the Turtle', `The Rape of Lucrece', the complete sonnets and lesser known plays such as `The Two Noble Kinsmen' and `Pericles'.
Each play is preceded by a (typically four or five pages in length) introduction to its context, history and dramatic structure. These short essays are textbook examples of explanatory clarity which communicate the essentials whilst avoiding getting bogged down in academic minutiae.
At the foot of each page are notes in small type, identified by numbered line to render tiresome text markers redundant. This is a fine solution to the problem of clarifying Shakespeare's arcane vocabulary and meaning for the 21st century reader, as the notes on the actual page are immediately accessible and do not interfere with reading-flow, often the case when notes are collected in a separate section at the end of the book or chapter. The notes here are relevant, helpful and easy to understand.
At an impressive 2,576 single-columned pages the book is massive, with a quality, hardcover binding. It has a tasteful contemporary feel and is a superb artefact in its own right, quite apart from the contents.
In summary, this 'Collectors' Edition' offers you the best volume of `Complete Works' of indisputably the most famous poet/playwright in the history of the human race. It's worth the asking price if you buy it for keeps: it will last a lifetime and will likely be the only Shakespeare you'll ever need.
