But the Critical Reference Edition 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. The illustrated general introduction presents an overview of the texts available to editors and describes how they define Shakespeare. An essay on error surveys kinds of error characteristic of these early text technologies. It is followed by a general introduction to the music of Shakespeare's plays. Introductions to individual works and an extensive foot-of-the-page textual apparatus record and discuss editorial corrections of scribal and printing errors in the early documents; marginal notes record press variants and key variants in different documents. Original music notation is provided for the songs (where available). Because the plays were written and copied within the framework of theatrical requirements, casting charts identify the length and type of each role, discuss potential doubling possibilities, and note essential props.The New Oxford Shakespeare consists of four interconnected publications: the Modern Critical Edition (with modern spelling), the Critical Reference Edition (with original spelling), a companion volume on Authorship, and an online version integrating all of this material on OUP's scholarly editions platform.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBiographical Note\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWilliam Shakespeare\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGary Taylor\u003c\/strong\u003e is Distinguished Research Professor at Florida State University. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Jowett \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of Shakespeare Studies and Deputy Director of the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerri Bourus\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Shakespeare and Renaissance Drama at Indiana University, Indianapolis. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGabriel Egan\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Shakespeare Studies at De Montfort University.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePromotional Headline\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAn entirely new \n\u003cem\u003eComplete Works \u003c\/em\u003ethat preserves the spelling, punctuation, ambiguities, and inconsistencies of the early documents, and introductions and on-page notes address the book history and documentary origins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReview Quotes\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"In the \n\u003cem\u003eCRE\u003c\/em\u003e, however, the editorial team was free to put its theories more fully into practice and present Shakespeare's texts in all their complexity...the \n\u003cem\u003eCRE\u003c\/em\u003e makes clear the benefit of periodically gathering together the research that drives editorial practice as a worthwhile opportunity to cast fresh eyes on the narratives within Shakespeare's texts.\" -- Jennifer Young, \n\u003cem\u003eThe English Association\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher Marketing\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cem\u003eThe New Oxford Shakespeare\u003c\/em\u003e is a landmark print and online project, which provides fully edited and annotated texts of all extant versions of all Shakespeare's works for the first time, including collaborations, revisions, and adaptations.
