Synopsis
Excerpt from Shakespeare's Editors and Commentators
Mr. Dyce appears not to be acquainted with this poem of Heywood's, or he would hardly have ventured the bold assertion I have therefore not the slightest doubt that wherever statue' occurs, while the metre requires three syllables, it is an error for statua' Our old poets no more thought of using statue' as a trisyllable than stature,' a third form of the word which is not unfrequently found. Note 102. P. 217 of Vol. 5. Ed. 1864. For, notwithstanding Heywood's fretful outburst at his printer's carelessness and selfish perversity, statue never occurs in the Troja Britannica as a trisyllable, but it has the diwresis.

Shakespeare's Editors and Commentators (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes Shakespeare's First Folio and its importance in literary history. Home Tooke challenged the prevailing negative attitudes toward the First Folio editors (Heminge and Condell) and believed that their text, if published as originally written, would be as close to Shakespeare's original intent as possible. However, since the First Folio's publication, its text has suffered many corruptions, removing it from Shakespeare's actual prose, and the inaccuracies of subsequent editors and commentators have further compounded the issue. The author supports Tooke's position, arguing that the First Folio is a valuable literary artifact that should be studied in its original form without emendations or alterations. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282882693_0
