Book Description
This is a facsimile reprint of the second edition of Bowdlerâe(tm)s famous collection of Shakespeareâe(tm)s plays, first published in 1820. Following the first edition, which was most likely edited by his sister, Thomas Bowdler completed this collection himself. His practice of expurgating material he deemed improper or offensiveâe"especially to the perceived delicate sensibilities of women and childrenâe"became synonymous with this type of censorship. He believed his âe~bowdlerizedâe(tm) Shakespeare was more appropriate to grace the libraries of British families of the period. His edition remained popular throughout the Victorian age and was published in many different editions. This second edition includes Bowdlerâe(tm)s introductory notes to some of the plays and is generally considered to be his best work.

Book Description
The Family Shakespeare in Three Volumes: in which nothing is added to the original text; but those words and expressions are omitted which cannot with propriety be read aloud in a Family. The Family Shakespeare is one of the most famous works ever written. There is even a word introduced by it into the English language: "Bowdlerized." Most of the editorial changes by Thomas Bowdler were not so radical as has been commonly supposed. In many ways, they improved upon the work of Shakespeare by making his words easier to understand by the modern reader. Bowdler has certainly been treated unfairly by history. No publication or performance of a play by Shakespeare follows the original script exactly, for the simple reason that the language has evolved and modern audiences would not understand it. Thus, there have been many editorial changes to Shakespeare. It is just that the other modern editors do not put their names on the cover and announce what they have done.
