The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Textual Studies is a wide-ranging, authoritative guide to research on Shakespeare and textual studies by an international team of leading scholars. It contains chapters on all the major areas of current research, notably the Shakespeare manuscripts; the printed text and paratext in Shakespeare’s early playbooks and poetry books; Shakespeare’s place in the early modern book trade; Shakespeare’s early readers, users, and collectors; the constitution and evolution of the Shakespeare canon from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century; Shakespeare’s editors from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century; and the modern editorial reproduction of Shakespeare.
