An update to the Temple Shakespeare, originally released by J.M. Dent & Sons in 1894, this set of 40 pocket (130×100mm) volumes was published by J. M. Dent in London and E. P. Dutton & Co. in New York. Jackets, half-title, and title pages feature engraving vignettes by Eric Gill. It is not clear if Gill also had a hand in the type on the jackets, but they do use hisPerpetua.
