Book Description

Excerpt from Cynthia's Revels: Or, the Fountain of Self-Love It is hoped that the method of handling the text will find approval. This method, which, so far as I know, has never before been accorded to a folio text, is fully ex plained in the section dealing with the variations in the impressions of the folio. In recording variant readings of later editions, only such have been chosen as seemed clearly significant, a proceeding which will, perhaps, render the foot-notes to the text of genuine interest to the average reader. Certain difficulties have appeared which all my efforts have not enabled me to solve; these have been frankly stated in order that the attention of future students of the play may be focused upon them.
