The book presents a scholarly facsimile of Richard III, with editorial context and careful dating. It shows how early editions differ from later copies, helping readers understand the play’s history.
This edition of the third quarto (1602) focuses on the relationship between the various early texts and the later folio. It shares the editor’s view that Q3’s text, not Q6, influenced the folio’s form, and explains why Q3 is presented here alongside notes on others. Acknowledgments, dates, and the role of the editor ground the study in a concrete scholarly frame, making the work accessible to readers who want to compare versions.
The volume documents the textual apparatus clearly: it reproduces the Acts, Scenes, and line numbering in line with the Globe edition, and marks places where the Folio adds lines with carets. A future Q6 is noted as in progress, with plans to comment on any further textual variations. The introduction by P. A. Daniel provides historical context and explains the editorial choices.
Ideal for readers of early modern drama, Shakespeare scholars, and students who want a text-facing approach with thoughtful editorial guidance.
