The first Riverside Shakespeare was edited by Richard Grant White and published in 1883 and 1901.
A new version was published in 1974 as a full scholarly edition, presenting each of the plays with introductions and textual notes, as well as several essays on Shakespeare's life and works. The general editor was G. Blakemore Evans. A revised edition was published in 1996, which is notable for being the first major complete works edition to include the disputed play Edward III, as well as A Funeral Elegy that was written by John Ford and is mistakenly attributed [citation needed] to Shakespeare here.
Newer editions are sold under the title the Wadsworth Shakespeare.
