The First Quarto of The Merry Wives of Windsor is the most
fascinatingly problematic of all the early Shakespearean texts. Was
it an authorial first draft? Or a cut-down version of the
better-known Folio text designed for acting? Or a text put together
from faulty actors' memories? Or a reported text assembled by
notetakers from attendance at the theatre? None of these theories,
though advanced and interrogated for the last 250 years, is totally
convincing. The Introduction to this edition explores the various
attempts to make sense of the short version of the play,
demonstrating the ways in which preferences for one theory or
another reflect the changes in editorial theory and fashion over
the centuries. The modernised text and its commentary enable the
reader to enter into this ongoing and endlessly intriguing debate.
