Background
“The New Temple Shakespeare” edition of William Shakespeare’s plays was originally published in 1894. This edition, edited
by M.R. Ridley with engravings by Eric Gill, was published between 1934 and 1936. Katherine Drummond acquired the volumes,
apparently as gifts, between 1935 and 1942.
