Examining the evidence from early published playbooks, Erne argues that Shakespeare wrote many of his plays with a readership in mind and that these 'literary' texts would have been abridged for the stage because they were too long for performance. The variant early texts of Romeo and Juliet, Henry V and Hamlet are shown to reveal important insights into the different media for which Shakespeare designed his plays. This revised and updated edition includes a new and substantial preface that reviews and intervenes in the controversy the study has triggered and lists reviews, articles and books which respond to or build on the first edition. 606 $aAuthors and readers$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aAuthors and readers$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aEnglish language$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xStyle 615 0$aAuthors and readers$xHistory 615 0$aAuthors and readers$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish language$xStyle. 676 $a822.3/3 700 $aErne$b Lukas$0740839 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462942703321 996 $aShakespeare as Literary Dramatist$92443614 997 $aUNINA
