Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Chief Elizabethan Dramatists: Excluding Shakespeare In the treatment of the text, the same principles have been followed as in the editor's dition of Shakespeare's works in the Cambridge Poets Series. Each play has been printed from the most authentic text accessible, and emendations have been adopted sparingly. Lodern stage directions, and divisions into scenes and acts which do not appear in the I editions, have been distinguished by square brackets modern notes of pm at beginning of scenes have been relegated to the footnotes and indications given by the curly copies of the authors' intentions with regard to the reading of the metre have been sinfully preserved, especially in the matter of elided vowels. It is probable that, in the me of most of the present plays, the final -cd of verbs was intended to be pronounced as 3 separate syllable whenever it is spelled in full. The spelling and punctuation have been nodsrnixed throughout, except when the older spelling 1m plied a different pronunciation.
