Individual Plays
The term 'Oxford Shakespeare' also refers to Oxford University Press's editions of individual Shakespeare plays and poems. These individual editions follow the same principles as the Complete Works, but their editors are permitted to reject choices made for the Complete Works if they feel strongly; for example, David Bevington's edition of Henry IV Part One uses 'Falstaff' not 'Oldcastle'. The hardback editions feature distinctive purple dustjackets, while the paperbacks follow the design of the Oxford World's Classics editions of classic literature.

Famous quotes containing the words individual and/or plays:
“The trouble with the sacred Individual is that he has no significance, except as he can acquire it from others, from the social whole.”
—Bernard Devoto (1897–1955)
“This Light inspires, and plays upon
The nose of Saint like Bag-pipe drone,
And speaks through hollow empty Soul,
As through a Trunk, or whisp’ring hole,
Such language as no mortal Ear
But spiritual Eve-droppers can hear.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
