Synopsis
A Revisal Of Shakespear's Text: Wherein The Alterations Introduced Into It By The More Modern Editors And Critics, Are Particularly Considered" by Benjamin Heath is a dense scholarly apparatus of Shakespearean textual criticism. It surveys proposed emendations by Warburton, Pope, Theobald, Johnson, Upton, and Seward, presenting line-by-line or passage-by-passage arguments about grammar, metre, punctuation, and historical usage. The work defends traditional readings, weighs the authority of editors and Canons of Criticism, and aims to aid metadata classification and scholarly cataloging by clarifying which readings are authentic, which are conjectural, and why certain variants should be preferred. It covers multiple plays across Shakespeare's canon, including Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra, Coriolanus, and Cymbeline, among others, illustrating how editorial choices shape interpretation of characterization, rhetoric, and dramatic pacing. The tone is scholarly and combative, meticulous in justification, and oriented toward editors, annotators, and researchers mapping late eighteenth- to early nineteenth-century editorial practice.
