Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Shakespeare´s Tragedy of Coriolanus The present volume is prepared on the same plan as its predecessors in the series, and this may be as good an opportunity as any for summing up and supplementing what I have said of the main features of the plan in former prefaces. The text is based on that of the folio of 1623, collated with the early quartos and the other folios, and with all the more recent editions that seem to me of any value for this purpose. It is a "conservative" text, because it is my own, the result of my own studies and my own judgment and taste. In this matter every editor must be a law unto himself. The "inalienable right" of deciding when to adhere to the folio and when not, I claim for myself, as I concede it to others. For many of the plays that first collected edition is our only authority, for others it is the best authority, but it abounds in misprints and other corruptions of the text. The correction of many of these is obvious and indisputable; that of others has been, and very likely will always be, matter of doubt and controversy. After all has been said that can be said on both sides, or all sides, conclusions will differ because the men differ who form them. We may argue with those who differ from us, but we have no right to dictate to them. No man, however eminent as a critic, may set himself up as the one "Sir Oracle" here, or arrogate to himself the authority to "ordain" a select hierarchy of "Shakespearians" who shall be the sole arbiters of these textual disputes. The "republic of letters" does not recognize the dictatorship of a "Boss." The expurgation of the text is also my own, and is "conservative" in that it is limited to the minimum required (me judice), and that it never changes a word that Shakespeare wrote. It omits a few words, phrases, or sentences from the text, but never substitutes others. Neither does it call attention to what is omitted, as the manner of some editors is, by means of dashes, asterisks, or brackets.
