Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"This is a magnificent contribution to bibliography that will be read enthusiastically by Shakespeare scholars and anyone working in the field of the history of the book, textual editing, and bibliography at the highest level. Zachary Lesser elegantly conveys the implications of his rigorous archival research, and the impression is-quite thrillingly-of a scholar rewriting in significant ways the history of a book that we thought we knew." * Adam Smyth, Balliol College, Oxford University *
