Notes

[1]

"Compositor Determination and Other Problems in Shakespearian Texts", Studies in Bibliography, VII (1955), 1-15.

[2]

The Editorial Problem in Shakespeare (1942), p. 152.

[3]

The basis of modern discussion is J. Spedding's "Who Wrote Shakespeare's Henry VIII?", Gentleman's Magazine, CLXXVIII (1850), 115-124 and 381-382.

[4]

These are listed in Alice Walker, Textual Problems of the First Folio (1953), p. 9.

[5]

Lists of additional words that have been found useful in distinguishing the work of Compositors A and B in certain plays may be found in I. B. Cauthen, "Compositor Determination in the First Folio King Lear", Studies in Bibliography, V (1952-53), 78, and in Alice Walker, "Compositor Determination and Other Problems in Shakespearian Texts", Studies in Bibliography, VII (1955), 14. These must be viewed with caution in the light of Charlton Hinman's identification of the work of Compositor E, who set part of King Lear, and whose characteristics have been confused with those of B; see "The Prentice Hand in the Tragedies of the Shakespeare First Folio; Compositor E", Studies in Bibliography, IX (1957), 3-20.

[6]

See Alice Walker, loc. cit., pp. 5-6. Again, the confusion of B with E has led to a distorted picture of B's habits, and Charlton Hinman, privately, is inclined to doubt that the habits of the compositors changed in any major degree during the printing of the Folio.

[7]

His practice here does not seem to bear out Alice Walker's point, "Compositor Determination and Other Problems in Shakespearian Texts", p. 15n., that "The important thing to remember, in connection with A's habits, is that he was systematic".

[8]

The Problem of Henry VIII Reopened (1949).

[9]

A set 1641 lines (972 of those assigned to Fletcher, 669 to Shakespeare); B set 1166 lines (529 of those assigned to Fletcher, 637 to Shakespeare).

[10]

"New Approaches to Textual Problems in Shakespeare", Studies in Bibliography, VIII (1956), 10.

[11]

W. W. Greg is mistaken in saying that Wolsey becomes "always 'Car.' or 'Card.' as speaker" in The Shakespeare First Folio (1955), p. 424.

[12]

The Shakespeare First Folio, p. 425.
