EDITORS COMMENTS
This title page, taken from the Imperial Edition of William Shakespeare's Works, published in 1838, showcases the artistic collaboration between English poet and playwright, William Shakespeare, and English illustrator, Charles Knight. The image, an engraving by an unknown artist, depicts the birthplace of Shakespeare in Stratford-upon-Avon, where the people are seen commemorating the writer and announcing the performance of his works. Charles Knight's illustration adds a unique visual dimension to this historic publication, enhancing the appreciation of Shakespeare's literary legacy. The Imperial Edition of Shakespeare's Works, published during the Romantic era, was a significant achievement in the history of literary illustration, and this title page stands as a testament to the artistic and literary synergy of its creators. The image invites us to imagine the bustling scene of Stratford-upon-Avon, where the people celebrate the birth of their beloved poet and playwright, and where Shakespeare's works continue to be performed and cherished to this day.
