Basically title. Looking to get into the Henriad and wondering which edition /lit/ would recommend.
Each play being a separate volume is a must, and notes would be handy but aren't a necessity.
if money is no concern - letterpress shakespeare
>>8060005
>500 dollars per play
Whose the fuck is buying these?

They look sexy as hell, i'd just need someone to do me a solid and lend me several thousand pounds.
>>8060005
>letterpress shakespeare
>£300 per play
>all plays also include separate, academic commentary books (introduction essays) that are ~three times bigger than the play
I know it's beyond the point, but ayy lmao 1:1 Shakespeare - Oxfordians
Arden editions are best editions.
>>8060184
This desu, or Oxford editions if you feel the notes are a bit overwhelming (though most of them are not as recent as almost all Arden editions, and so they are not updated to the latest critical analysis; in that sense, Arden is the better academic publisher, but Oxford is more easy to carry around and less expensive).
Arden is fucking excellent. I have their Richard II and Henry IV Part 1, but they haven't published a new edition of Henry IV Part 2 yet.
Should I just save up and buy most of the Ardens instead of getting a complete?
