This piece of literary detective work uncovers the hidden history
of the two early texts of "Othello", the Quarto and the Folio. It
traces the crucial roles played by two people who were closely
involved in transforming Shakespeare's almost illegible manuscripts
into print: Thomas Walkley, the publisher of Q, whose questionable
editoral procedures and shaky finances were involving him in
litigation with a printer and another of his authors during the
period when Q "Othello" was passing through his hands; and Ralph
Crane, the scribe who was responsible for preparing printer's copy
for F. New evidence enables the author both to identify the scribe
and to look in detail at his working practices. The author argues
that many readings in the F text, adopted by almost all editors and
long since regarded as fundamentally "Shakespearean", are
substitutions highly characteristic of Crane, and not the words
written by Shakespeare. Building on this information, and analyzing
many passages in detail, the author questions time-honoured
editorial procedures - among them the treatment of Shakespeare's
verse.
