Abstract

The series offers a unique opportunity to view the creation of Shakespeare’s after-life and reputation through the works of his major theatrical interpreters. This edition features the actress Margaret Woffington and draws together a carefully edited selection of the actresses own words with those of her contemporaries and critics. Texts are presented in digitally enhanced facsimile and are supported by extensive new editorial material including a general introduction, volume introductions, headnotes, endnotes, bibliographies, chronologies and a consolidated index.

This broadly interdisciplinary edition will interest scholars undertaking research in Shakespearian Studies, History of the Theatre and Performance, and Eighteenth-Century Studies.

Makes available a comprehensive selection of rare and difficult-to-access contemporary texts on the reception and reputation of three key eighteenth-century Shakespearian actors

New editorial matter includes a general introduction, volume introductions, chronologies, headnotes, endnotes, and a consolidated index
