Henry Irving, the influential and controversial Victorian actor,
was closely involved in the publication of this distinctive
Shakespeare edition. As an actor, his concern was largely with the
intellectual project of seeing each play as a unified work, rather
than with producing strong emotional effects in the audience. In
the words of his obituary in The Times, he appealed to scholars 'by
his reverent and often acute treatment of the text', and accustomed
playgoers to look for 'more than empty amusement'. To the edition,
he brought a sense of the plays in performance which has never been
equalled before or since. Addressing a general readership, he both
included notes on cuts used by professional companies and suggested
others that would facilitate amateur performances. Gordon Browne's
illustrations, which suggest the contemporary styles of stage
costume, are another attractive feature of this edition, which will
appeal to Shakespearians and theatre historians alike.
