This book argues that nineteenth-century editors created the modern
idea of English Renaissance literature. The book analyses the
theories and practices of editors who worked on Shakespeare, but
also on complete editions of a remarkable range of early modern
writers, from the early nineteenth century through to the early
twentieth century. It reassesses the point at which purportedly
more scientific theories of editing began the process of obscuring
the work of these earlier editors. In recreating this largely
ignored history, this book also addresses the current interest in
the theory and practice of editing as it relates to new approaches
to early modern writing, and to literary and book history, and the
material conditions of the transmission of texts. Through a series
of case studies, the book explores the way individual editors dealt
with Renaissance literature and with changing ideas of how texts
and their contexts might be represented.
