This is a facsimile reprint of the second edition of Bowdlerâe(tm)s famous collection of Shakespeareâe(tm)s plays, first published in 1820. Following the first edition, which was most likely edited by his sister, Thomas Bowdler completed this collection himself. His practice of expurgating material he deemed improper or offensiveâe"especially to the perceived delicate sensibilities of women and childrenâe"became synonymous with this type of censorship. He believed his âe~bowdlerizedâe(tm) Shakespeare was more appropriate to grace the libraries of British families of the period. His edition remained popular throughout the Victorian age and was published in many different editions. This second edition includes Bowdlerâe(tm)s introductory notes to some of the plays and is generally considered to be his best work.

This classic edition of Shakespeare's plays was designed to be family-friendly and free from the more risqué elements of his work. Bowdler's adaptations of the Henry VI plays are faithful to the original text while removing what he saw as offensive content. The result is an accessible and engaging introduction to one of the greatest writers in the English language.
