About the book >.>.> THIS EDITION is not based upon the previous Arden edition by Ivor B. John although it has of course been consulted. Amongst editions of the play I am chiefly indebted to that by Professor J. Dover Wilson (Cambridge University Press 1939 second edi- tion 1951). Although I have ventured to disagree from time to time with his findings the debt which all modern students of Shake- speare owe to Dover Wilson is perhaps even greater than usual in the case of an editor of this play. I have also made especially con- tinuous use of the editions by C. H. Herford (Warwick Shake- speare) W. A. Wright (Cambridge Shakespeare) and J. C. Smith and Henry Newbolt (Clarendon Press) and of the studies of various aspects of the play by A. W. Pollard A. P. Rossiter Richmond Noble and Paul Reyher and of M. P. Tilley’s magnificent A Dic- tionary of the Proverbs in England. I have been helped in various ways by the General Editor Pro- fessor R. H. Bowers Dr A. S. Cairncross Dr N. A. Furness Pro- fessor A. R. Humphreys and Dr A. Macdonald and especially by Mr J. C. Maxwell who gave me much valuable advice and saved me from numerous errors. I am grateful to the staff of the Library of King’s College Newcastle upon Tyne in particular to Miss Winifred Donkin and Mr G. M. Budge for their efficient aid and to the Council of the College for granting me a term’s leave of absence in which to complete my work. My biggest debt is to the Advisory Editor Dr Harold F. Brooks: there are few pages in this volume which are not the better for his tireless scrutiny and generous criticism. (SP)
