"...the chef d'oeuvre of the Nonesuch Press, and...a model of careful proof reading and imaginative setting. The best of ancient and modern conjectural emendations are unobtrusively set in the margin for the benefit of a glancing eye. This is the finest of all editions of our greatest poet." (Nonesuch Century, 58)
