Books in the Oxford Shakespeare Studies series

Twelve specially-commissioned essays on the most important textual problem in the Shakespeare canon re-examine the early texts of "King Lear" from a series of interlocking perspectives.

This book explores the ways in which Shakespeare's texts were reshaped, in his lifetime and up till the publication of the First Folio, and the kinds of major outside interference to which they were subjected. It concentrates on the forms of interference - expurgation, Act division, interpolation - which can be examined across the whole canon.
