Discover ‘The Bowdler Shakespeare,’ a curated collection from the 1853 edition, featuring timeless plays like Macbeth, King John, and Henry V. This unique publication meticulously omits words and expressions deemed unsuitable for family reading, a process that birthed the very term ‘bowdlerise.’ Originally conceived by Henrietta Maria Bowdler and later championed by her brother Thomas, this edition offers a sanitized yet profound Shakespearean experience, reflecting the moral sensibilities of the Regency and Victorian eras. Explore the enduring genius of Shakespeare through a lens of curated propriety. Perfect for students of Shakespeare and Renaissance drama, this volume from Cambridge University Press is an essential addition to any classic literature collection at The Bookish Owl. Find Shakespearean plays, historical drama, and edited classics.
