Förlagets beskrivning
'The Family Shakespeare: in which nothing is added to the original text, but those words and expressions are omitted which cannot with propriety be read in family.' These words on the title pages of this edition gave rise to the verb 'to bowdlerise' - to remove or modify text which was considered vulgar or objectionable. Thomas Bowdler (1754-1825) was a man of independent means who studied medicine but, instead of practising as a doctor, devoted his time to prison reform, chess and the sanitising of Shakespeare. The first edition of The Family Shakespeare was published in 1818, and Bowdler's work became enormously popular as the scandal-ridden Regency gave way to Victorian respectability. This volume, from the 1853 edition, contains Titus Andronicus, King Lear, Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet and Othello
