The basic history of the Shakespearean editorial tradition is
familiar and well-established. For nearly three centuries, men -
most of them white and financially privileged - ensconced
themselves in private and hard-to-access libraries, hammering out
'their' versions of Shakespeare's text. They produced enormous,
learned tomes: monuments to their author's greatness and their own
reputations. What if this is not the whole story? A bold,
revisionist and alternative version of Shakespearean editorial
history, this book recovers the lives and labours of almost seventy
women editors. It challenges the received wisdom that, when it came
to Shakespeare, the editorial profession was entirely
male-dominated until the late twentieth century. In doing so, it
demonstrates that taking these women's work seriously can transform
our understanding of the history of editing, of the nature of
editing as an enterprise, and of how we read Shakespeare in
history.
