Exploring Shakespeare’s texts and their history, with sharp eye on emendations
This edition examines how editors and manuscript corrections shape the plays we read today, focusing on the 1632 folio corrections and how scholars respond to them. It reads like a guided tour through textual detective work, shedding light on the craft of editing and the decisions behind famous lines.
Alexander Dyce’s notes turn a close eye on passages that have sparked debate among readers and editors. The book collects examples from major plays, showing how emendations were proposed, contested, and sometimes defended with careful reasoning. It helps readers understand why a word or line might be changed and what those choices reveal about language, history, and performance.
Ideal for readers of Shakespeare who enjoy textual history, editorial debates, and the craft behind bringing early modern plays to modern readers.
