Synopsis"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart) The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged. Each volume features: * Authoritative, reliable texts * High quality introductions and notes * New, more readable trade trim size * An essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts, Over 130 ceramic lines from the Roseville Pottery Company are listed and valued in this very inclusive guide. Arranged in alphabetical order, each line and its most common variations are listed and priced by line number. Among the categories featured are Early Velmoss, experimental pieces, Keynote, Lamps, Raymor Modern Artware, Rozane Royal, trial glaze pieces, and products not found in Roseville guides. This quick reference works well as a companion to the author's Introducing Roseville Pottery (newly revised and expanded for 2001). Listings for shapes illustrated in that book appear in boldface here, with page references. An invaluable "Index to Roseville Shape Numbers, c. 1916-1946," produced with the assistance of collector and researcher Lou Haggis, explains the factory's original shape numbering system. This will help collectors identify and date little-known Roseville shapes. Everyone interested in art pottery, American artware, or Ohio pottery will find this an essential reference.
