Synopsis
Excerpt from The Merchant of Venice: Edited With Introduction, Notes, Appendices, and Glossary
This edition aims first of all by means of the Introduction to inform the student of the circumstances under which the Merchant of Venice was written and to show him something of Shakespeare's mastery of his art. Further, it presents, with a few necessary omissions, a new and, I trust, an accurate text. The text if the Cambridge edition has been used to print from, but this has been throughout checked and corrected by a reference to the original sources. For these I have relied upon Griggs's photographic reproductions of the First and Second Quartos and upon Staunton's reprint of the First Folio, with an occasional reference to the copies of the First, Second, and Fourth Folios at present deposited in the Library of Princeton University. As a rule the readings of the Second Quarto have been followed. In the few cases where I have deviated from the old copies it has been with the conviction that I was thereby restoring the true reading.
The Critical and Explanatory Notes are intended for the young student who is just making acquaintance with the work of Shakespeare. They are, in consequence, detailed and copious.
