Synopsis
The Oxford Shakespeare brings the modern reader closer to Shakespeare's plays as originally performed than has ever before been possible. Based on eight years of full-time research by a team of distinguished British and American scholars, this monumental volume offers many remarkable innovations, including a new chronological order, revised stage directions, two full versions of King Lear --as originally written and as revised later for performance--and the complete text of The Two Noble Kinsmen . The Compact Edition packs all these features into a portable and inexpensive single volume. In addition, a lucid General Introduction by Stanley Wells and brief introductions to each play provide a wealth of background information. Hailed by The Washington Post as "a definitive synthesis of the best editions of recent decades" and by The Times of London as "a monument to Shakespearian scholarship," it is an ideal travel companion on vacations or trips and a perfect gift for literature lovers young and old., Hailed by The Washington Post as "a definitive synthesis of the best editions of recent decades" and by the Times of London as "a monument to Shakespearian scholarship," The Oxford Shakespeare brings the modern reader back to Shakespeare's plays as originally performed.

The problem is that there is no single, original manuscript by Shakespeare: all we have to work with are the quartos and folios which depend on prompt copies, people's ( i.e. actors, producers etc ) memories and the accuracy and vagaries of the printers. Editors try to produce a version which is as nearly authentic as they can make it but of course there will be differences,sometimes large, between the various editions. If you want to have some sort of example of the complexities of editing from so many sources and the work that has been done by generations of scholars I would suggest the two volumes of the Arden edition of "Hamlet", (Third ...
