If there ever has been a groundbreaking edition that likewise
returns the reader to the original Shakespeare text, it will be the
Applause Folio Texts. If there has ever been an accessible version
of the Folio, it is this edition, set for the first time in modern
fonts. The Folio is the source of all other editions. The Folio
text forces us to re-examine the assumptions and prejudices which
have encumbered over four hundred years of scholarship and
performance. Notes refer the reader to subsequent editorial
interventions, and offer the reader a multiplicity of
interpretations. Notes also advise the reader on variations between
Folios and Quartos. The heavy mascara of four centuries of
Shakespearean glossing has by now glossed over the original
countenance of Shakespeare's work. Never has there been a Folio
available in modern reading fonts. While other complete Folio
editions continue to trade simply on the facsimile appearance of
the Elizabethan "look," none of them is easily and practically
utilized in general Shakespeare studies or performances.
