Notes and Emendations to the Text of Shakespeare's Plays : The Textual Controversy

Omtale

John Payne Collier (1789–1883), editor and forger, published this 1852 account of his discovery of a 'corrected' Second Folio of Shakespeare. It is reissued here along with Nicholas Hamilton's inquiry into its genuineness, Collier's rebuttal, and Thomas Duffus Hardy's review of the controversy (all published in 1860).
