The general Preface (e-text 23041) discusses the 17th- and 18th-century editions in detail; the newer (19th-century) editions are simply listed by name. The following editions may appear in the Notes. All inset text is quoted from the Preface.
Folios:
F1 1623; F2 (no date given); F3 1663; F4 1685.
โThe five plays contained in this volume occur in the first Folio in the same order, and ... were there printed for the first time.โ
Early editions:
Rowe 1709
Pope 1715
โPope was the first to indicate the place of each new scene; as, for instance, Tempest, I. 1. โOn a ship at sea.โ He also subdivided the scenes as given by the Folios and Rowe, making a fresh scene whenever a new character enteredโan arrangement followed by Hanmer, Warburton, and Johnson. For convenience of reference to these editions, we have always recorded the commencement of Popeโs scenes.โ
Theobald 1733
Hanmer (โOxford editionโ) 1744
Warburton 1747
Johnson 1765
Capell 1768; also Capellโs annotated copy of F2
Steevens 1773
