Remarks, Critical, Conjectural, and Explanatory, upon the Plays of Shakespeare; resulting from a collation of the early copies, with that of Johnson and Steevens, edited by Isaac Reed, Esq., together with several valuable abstracts from the MSS. of the late right Honourable John, Lord Chedsworth [2 volumes]

Beschreibung

2 volumes, recently rebound in light gray cloth with bright yellow endpapers, red and yellow headbands. Bindings clean and tight. Foreedges marbled. 480 and 436 pages. A fascinating compilation of glosses and interpretations from the first 200 years of Shakespeare scholarship (with all its notorious ups and downs). These volumes go through the plays and provide useful perspectives: "Court'sies to me" -- Court'sie here is, surely, to be understood only as a general term for respectful salutation, whether by man or woman." The scholars make some guesses about typos and hidden meanings. Please email with questions or to request photos. If you see a photo beside this listing, please be aware that it s an ABE Stock Photo (whatever that is) and not a photo of this book.
