Together, they provide the perfect resource for the future of Shakespeare studies. This set comprises all of the print volumes that make up \n\u003cem\u003eThe New Oxford Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \n\u003cem\u003eModern Critical Edition\u003c\/em\u003e gives today's students and playgoers the very best resources they need to understand and enjoy all Shakespeare's works. The authoritative text is accompanied by extensive explanatory and performance notes, and innovative introductory materials which lead the reader into exploring questions about interpretation, textual variants, literary criticism, and performance, for themselves. This volume presents the plays and poetry in the order in which Shakespeare wrote them, so that readers can follow the development of his imagination, his engagement with a rapidly evolving culture and theatre, and his relationship to his literary contemporaries. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \n\u003cem\u003eCritical Reference Edition\u003c\/em\u003e collects the same versions of the same works found in the \n\u003cem\u003eModern Critical Edition\u003c\/em\u003e, keyed to the same line-numbering. But the \n\u003cem\u003eCritical Reference Edition\u003c\/em\u003e emphasizes book history and the documentary origins of each text. It preserves the spelling, punctuation, capitalization, abbreviations, typographical contrasts, ambiguities, and inconsistencies of the early documents. Introductions focus on early modern manuscript and print culture, setting each text within the material circumstances of its production, transmission, and early reception. The works are arranged in the chronological order of the surviving texts: the first volume covers documents manufactured in Shakespeare's lifetime, and the second covers documents made between 1622 and 1728. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \n\u003cem\u003eAuthorship Companion\u003c\/em\u003e accompanies the \n\u003cem\u003eModern Critical Edition \u003c\/em\u003eand the \n\u003cem\u003eCritical Reference Edition\u003c\/em\u003e, and concentrates on the issues of canon and chronology--currently the most active and controversial debates in the field of Shakespeare editing. It presents in full the evidence behind the choices made in \n\u003cem\u003eThe Complete Works\u003c\/em\u003e about which works Shakespeare wrote, in whole or part. A major new contribution to attribution studies, the \n\u003cem\u003eAuthorship Companion\u003c\/em\u003e illuminates the work and methodology underpinning the groundbreaking \n\u003cem\u003eNew Oxford Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e and casts new light on the professional working practice, and creative endeavours, of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"italic\"\u003eChoice\u003c\/span\u003e 06\/01\/2018 (EAN 9780198791324, Hardcover)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47448996937859,"sku":"9780198791324","price":666.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/6830\/8099\/files\/9780198791324.jpg?v=1783319817","url":"https:\/\/sebink.com\/products\/the-new-oxford-shakespeare-complete-set-modern-critical-edition-critical-reference-edition-authorship-companion-new-oxford-shakespeare","provider":"Sebink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
