| Summary |
"Shakespeare's works were among the first English texts to be edited. The history of adapting them has positioned them as a catalyst for theories of editing and textuality. This book introduces the early editions, editing practices, and publishing history of Shakespeare's works, and examines their influence on bibliographic studies as a whole."--Electronic Library |
