Summary

"In this provocative study one of America's foremost Shakespeare scholars examines the nature and origin of the early editions of an important group of Shakespeare's plays, those for which there exist, besides the text in the First Folio, one or more versions in quarto form. He also warns against some tendencies in the current "bibliographical school" of Shakespearean textual criticism."--Jacket.
