A handsome edition, another fine production from the Shakespeare Head Press. Arthur Henry Bullen, often known as A. H. Bullen, (1857-1920) was an English editor and publisher, a specialist in 16th and 17th century literature, and founder of the Shakespeare Head Press, which for its first decades was a publisher of fine editions in the tradition of the Kelmscott Press. After Bullen's death the press was continued by a partnership including Basil Blackwell, the Oxford bookseller. The present set dates from the latter period.
