Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, or What You Will: With Introduction, and Notes Explanatory and Critical; For Use in Schools and Families The text of this edition of Twelfth my is based upon a collation of the seventeenth century Folios, the Globe edition, the Cambridge (w. A. Wright) edition of 1891, and that of Delius As compared with the text of the earlier editions of Hudson's Shakespeare, it is conservative. Exclu sive of changes in spelling, punctuation, and stage directions, very few emendations by eighteenth century and nineteenth century editors have been adopted; and these, with every variation from the First Folio, are indicated in the textual notes. These notes are printed immediately below the text, so that a reader or student may see at a glance the evidence in the case of a disputed reading, and have some definite understanding of the reasons for those differences in the text of Shakespeare which frequently surprise and very often annoy. Such an arrangement should be of special help in the case of a play universally read and very often acted, as actors and interpreters seldom agree in adhering to one text. A consideration of the more poetical, or the more dramatically effective, of two variant readings will often lead to rich results in awakening a spirit of discriminating interpretation and in developing true creative criticism. In no sense is this a textual variorum edition. The variants given are only those of im portance and high authority. The spelling and the punctuation of the text are modern, except in the case of verb terminations in -m', which, when the e is silent, are printed with the apostrophe. Ohms.
