Texts: Individual Folio Texts
“APPLAUSE FIRST FOLIO EDITIONS”
The ‘Applause First Folio Editions’ compare the differences between the first printings and the best modern texts of Shakespeare’s works, with special emphasis on issues relevant to each particular play.
- Faithful reproduction of the text as presented in the First Folio of 1623, in clear and legible modern type, with original compositors indicated
- Comprehensive introduction for each of the plays.
- Footnotes discuss many of the Quarto and modern text variations.
- Glosses highlight scholarship of the last four centuries.
- Opposite each page of text is a blank page for reader notes and comments.
- New easy coding system guides readers directly to single topics far more swiftly and efficiently than comparable attempts in modern editions.
- New visual clues allow readers to explore where modern texts have altered the original First Folio line structure (in some plays involving as many as 200 lines or more).
