From the most able, to him that can but spell." In the plainer language of our day, this means that the book has been designed w/ the general reader, the student, & the scholar equally in mind. The plan of the volume was ambitious from the start. The central spire of its accomplishment is a completely re-edited text, generally modern in spelling & punctuation, yet sensitively reflecting the rhythms & modulations of the Elizabethan voice. This text, & its appurtenances, including full textual notes & a history of Shakespeare textual scholarship & editing, is the sole work of G. Blakemore Evans of Harvard University, & will, we believe, stand as a model for generations to come. In quite the manner of Dr. Johnson's preface of 1765, the volume is introduced by a classic statement of the known facts of Shakespeare's life & work, together w/ the major critical opinions & salient existing problems. This statement, by Harry Levin of Harvard University, will generously reward repeated reading as the reader's knowledge & appreciation grow; it is compact of thought & learning which will yield up their fullest savor w/ experience & time. Provided by a panel of distinguished editors, introductions & explanatory notes to the plays & poems record existing scholarship & are rich in original insights. An afterpiece by Charles H. Shattuck reviews & assesses the staging & acting of Shakespeare's plays from the restoration to the present, & ends w/ a section on Shakespeare in film. Two appendices by Professor Evans, "Annals, 1552-1616" & "Records, Documents, & Allusions," provide unusually full historical setting & references for the main events of Shakespeare's life & career, & for the main political, literary, & cultural events of Tudor & Jacobean England. And a body of contemporary illustration, provided largely through the researches of Professors Evans & Baker, sheds life on Elizabethan life & thought & is of inestimable value both to the student & the general reader for the understanding & visualization of what he reads, over a range from costume to cosmology, from the life of street & tavern to the panoply of place & state.
