SHAKESPEAREAN PROMPT-BOOKS
OF THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY.
These eight volumes (15 plays) are studies of the stage
texts used in various seventeenth-century performances
of Shakespeare's plays. G. Blakemore Evans has identified
the different manuscript hands that annotate the prompt-books
and compared them with other eighteenth- and nineteenth-century
Shakespearean stage texts. Thus, the collection provides
an opportunity to examine Shakespearean performance traditions
and innovations.
