This book is part of a controversial new series that raises fundamental questions about the authenticity of Shakespeare's texts as we know them today. In a radical departure from existing series, it presents the earliest known editions of Shakespeare's playsówhich differ substantially from the present versionsóand argues that these are the most authentic we have.The editors present the text in a form as close as possible to its first publication. It includes an introduction, notes and an appendix containing sample facsimile pages from the original printed texts. Throughout, the emphasis of the critical apparatus is on the theoretical and historical significance of the text and its contextual relationships with theatre, history and cultural politics.Published in 1594 under the title The Taming of a Shrew, this play has always been regarded as an earlier version by another dramatist, or as a corrupt "memorial reconstruction" of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. Yet the version accepted as Shakespeare's was not published until the First Folio of 1623.The text of A Shrew differs from that of The Shrew. It contains, for example, a complete theatrical "framing" device in the form of the Lord's practical joke on Christopher Sly, where the "Shakespearean" text drops Sly and the framing device early in the play. From the beginning of this century the "non-Shakespearean" text has been used in theatrical practice to complete the authorized but insufficient "Shakespearean" play.This new edition makes The Taming of a Shrew available in full, not as a source or analogue or memorial reconstruction of a Shakespearean original, but in its own right as a brilliantly inventive popular Elizabethan play.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Holinshed's Chronicles, famous as the source for the stories in many Shakespeare's plays, such as King Lear and Cymbeline, were written in the sixteenth century as a collaborative effort, but consistently sustain a lively and highly readable style. A wide variety of sources were used, and carefully noted, but with little critical examination. This volume contains the first four books of the Historie of England, from the time of the Flood to the end of Roman rule and includes much that is the stuff of legend. For ease of reading, it has been typeset in a modern font, but all the original spellings and marginal notes have been preserved.

Antiquarianismus ist eine gleichermaßen aktuelle wie wissenschaftshistorisch belastete Kategorie. Nach Maßgabe des traditionellen ideengeschichtlichen Primats des Theoretischen und abgeschreckt von den sich damit assoziierenden monumentalen Formen galten die altertumskundlichen Bestrebungen des 17. Jahrhunderts lange Zeit als Ausdruck einer Krise der Historiographie, welche von den skeptizistischen Erwägungen René Descartes' ihren Ausgang genommen habe. Die Studie hingegen beruht auf der Hypothese, dass die Lebendigkeit, die von den Antiquaren der Zeit in das Feld des Historiographischen hineingetragen wurde, die Fundamente historiographischen Tuns in materieller und intellektueller Hinsicht nachhaltig veränderte. Die Studie stützt sich auf gedruckte wie ungedruckte Materialien, die aus der Arbeit an den von dem Antwerpener Jesuiten Jean Bolland (1596-1665) begründeten Acta Sanctorum hervorgegangen sind. Mit Blick auf die in jüngerer Zeit an Kontur gewinnende "Geschichte des Wissens" gilt die Aufmerksamkeit u.a. dem verwickelten Verhältnis von editorischer Theorie und Praxis, den begriffsgeschichtlichen Konturen von Ausdrücken wie Quelle (fons) oder Denkmal (monumentum), der Charakteristik gelehrter Netze oder den publizistischen Implikationen der von den Bollandisten ausgefochtenen Kontroversen.
