You might have some issue with usage and archaic phrasing a but you'd get the gist of it. I'm interested in a critical edition. I already have some old beautiful hardbacks of the texts unannotated and while I enjoy reading them I want some annotations. Annotations and criticism and secondary reading are all part of learning. Reading something like Shakespeare hundreds of years after the fact and neglecting criticism would be naive.
I also prefer individual editions. I don't like holding a tome.
