How did Shakespeare write his plays and how were they revised during their passage to the stage? James Purkis answers these questions through a fresh examination of often overlooked evidence provided by manuscripts used in early modern playhouses. Considering collaboration and theatre practice, this book explores manuscript plays by Anthony Munday, Thomas Middleton, and Thomas Heywood to establish new accounts of theatrical revision that challenge formerly dominant ideas in Shakespearean textual studies. The volume also reappraises Shakespeare's supposed part in the Sir Thomas More manuscript by analysing the palaeographic, orthographic, and stylistic arguments for Shakespeare's authorship of three of the document's pages. Offering a new account of manuscript writing that avoids conventional narrative forms, Purkis argues for a Shakespeare fully participant in a manuscript's collaborative process, demanding a reconsideration of his dramatic canon. The book will greatly interest researchers and advanced students of Shakespeare studies, textual history, authorship studies and theatre historians.

Supplement to Collier's 'The works of Shakespeare : the text regulated by the recently discovered folio of 1632, containing early manuscript emendations : with a history of the stage, a life of the poet, and an introduction to each play,' also known as the Perkins folio. Collier claimed to have discovered extensive new manuscript emendations to Shakespeare's folio of 1632 in a 17th-century hand, which he published in 'Notes and emendations to the text of Shakespeare's plays.' After examining the manuscript, scholars at the British Museum proclaimed it to be a 19th-century forgery.

This 1843 volume explores a then-recent discovery of an early manuscript of Shakespeare'sThe Merry Wives of Windsor. Interestingly, the discovered edition includes a variety of differing elements from the popular published edition, including a newDramatis Personae and plot points. The author of this volume posits that such an early text could lend insight into the true essence of the comedy as well as Shakespeare's life and career.
