Shakespeare Reshaped, 1606-1623 - Taylor, Gary (Professor of English, Professor of English, Brandeis University, Massachusetts) a Jowett, John (Lecturer in English, Lecturer in English, University of Glasgow)

This book explores the ways in which Shakespeare's texts were reshaped, in his lifetime and up till the publication of the First Folio, and the kinds of major outside interference to which they were subjected. It concentrates on the forms of interference - expurgation, Act division, interpolation - which can be examined across the whole canon.
