Review:

"Now increased from one to three volumes, this edition of an indispensable guide to literary and interpretive criticism is an alphabetical march through Shakespear's canon. This set is a dream come true for researchers and is equally effective as introductory background information for both students and teachers. Also available as an e-book, this standard reference shoud be in every collection that supports high-school or undergraduate programs."
