Synopsis

Excerpt from The Shakespeare Memorial Library: Founded at Birmingham in 1864; As a Monument the Poet; This Second Edition Is Dedicated

The separate plays of the great dramatist were issued during his life-time; in what consecutive order it is now impossible to say; though certain it is that Shakspeare himself could never have seen them, even separately, through the press. They appeared in a corrupt state from the beginning; for, being printed and published as acting plays, they were altered, corrected and improved by both actors and man agers.
