Now in a new edition, Lukas Erne's groundbreaking study argues that
Shakespeare, apart from being a playwright who wrote theatrical
texts for the stage, was also a literary dramatist who produced
reading texts for the page. Examining the evidence from early
published playbooks, Erne argues that Shakespeare wrote many of his
plays with a readership in mind and that these 'literary' texts
would have been abridged for the stage because they were too long
for performance. The variant early texts of Romeo and Juliet, Henry
V and Hamlet are shown to reveal important insights into the
different media for which Shakespeare designed his plays. This
revised and updated edition includes a new and substantial preface
that reviews and intervenes in the controversy the study has
triggered and lists reviews, articles and books which respond to or
build on the first edition.
