Originally published in 1807, the book was designed to make Shakespeare’s works accessible to younger readers and those unfamiliar with Elizabethan English. The collection includes adaptations of both tragedies and comedies, such as \u003cem data-start=\"391\" data-end=\"400\"\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"402\" data-end=\"410\"\u003eHamlet\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"412\" data-end=\"421\"\u003eOthello\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"423\" data-end=\"434\"\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem data-start=\"436\" data-end=\"449\"\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem data-start=\"455\" data-end=\"482\"\u003eA Midsummer Night’s Dream\u003c\/em\u003e.
