Are there any good, comprehensive primary source readers for criticism of Shakespeare and his individual plays, where the criticism is from before the 20th century.
The introductions of most modern editions of the plays will summarise past reception of the plays, with a few quotes. Are there any ...
@Bookworm Note that this question asks about pre-20th-century criticism, which is not systematically reprinted (if it ever was). Collections of 20th-century criticism focusing specifically on one play per volume are easy enough to find, but that is not the question here.
