(For instance, the Complete Works published by the Arden company is often referred to as the Arden Shakespeare, and the edition produced by Yale University called the Yale Shakespeare.) Multiple editors contribute to the processes of laying out the Complete Works, and many times either the main editor, publishing company, or university's name is included in the title. The Complete Works (especially in older editions) are often sought after by book collectors, and a number of binderies and publishing houses have produced leather bound and gilded releases for luxury book collecting.īoth mainstream and academic publishing companies have released multiple editions and versions of their own collections of Shakespeare's work, often updated periodically. The various editions of the Complete Works include a number of university press releases, as well as versions released from larger publishing companies. Some editions include several works that were not completely of Shakespeare's authorship (collaborative writings), such as The Two Noble Kinsmen, which was a collaboration with John Fletcher Pericles, Prince of Tyre, the first two acts of which were likely written by George Wilkins or Edward III, whose authorship is disputed. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare is the standard name given to any volume containing all the plays and poems of William Shakespeare.
