In this survey the modern editions consulted are listed in the order of
their dates of publication in order to indicate possible dependencies. The
following abbreviations have been used: G = Cambridge and Globe
Editions;
C = W. J. Craig (1892, Oxford Standard Authors 1905); A = Arden
Shakespeare (1899-1924); N = W. A. Neilson (Riverside Edition, 1906;
C. J.
Hill's revised edition of 1942 makes no changes in proper names); Y =
Yale
Shakespeare (1917-1927); NC = New Cambridge Shakespeare (1921-1966);
R = M. R. Ridley (New Temple Shakespeare, 1934-1936); K = G. L.
Kittredge (1936); P = T. M. Parrott (1938; selection); Al = P. Alexander
(1951); NA = New Arden Edition (1951-); S = C. J. Sisson (1954); RY
=
Revised Yale Edition (1954-); M = J. Munro (London Shakespeare, 1957).
In addition, the forms preferred by H. Kökeritz, Shakespeare's
Names: A Pronouncing Dictionary (1959), are
included under
the abbreviation "Kö". Some editions adopt the Cambridge readings
in
all cases and have, therefore, not been listed independently: C. H. Herford
(Eversley Edition, 1899-1900); G. B. Harrison (1948); H. Craig (1951).
The
numbers preceding the OED variants refer to the centuries in
which
these forms were used (e.g. 6 = 16th century).
