Notes And Emendations To The Text Of Shakespeare's Plays: From Early Manuscript Corrections In A Copy Of The Folio, 1632, In The Possession Of J. Payne Collier. Forming A Supplementai Volume To The Works Of Shakespeare By The Same Editor by John Payne Collier is a scholarly apparatus that documents textual corrections, emendations, and stage-notes across several Shakespeare plays. The volume compares readings in quartos and folios, notably the 1623 and 1632 folios, with earlier 1603 quartos, and records marginal notes added by a manuscript-corrector to guide editors and performers. The portion covered includes Hamlet, King Lear, Othello, Antony and Cleopatra, and Cymbeline, and presents page-by-page and line-level notes on corrections to line readings, stage directions, punctuation, metre, and diction. It discusses editorial practice and performance history, weighing readings from Malone, Steevens, Warburton, and Johnson, and emphasizes provenance and the behavior of actors such as Burbage and Taylor. The resource is intended for catalogers and editors reconstructing an authorial text versus performer-driven variants, illustrating how marginalia and manuscript evidence shape modern textual interpretation.
