Summary

Following two years that have featured major new Complete Works projects, 2017–18 has been something of a year of consolidation and diversification in the world of Shakespeare editing. The projects surveyed in this essay comprise primarily new introductions, revised editions and a new series reorienting the Arden Shakespeare at practitioners. The reframing of existing edited texts at new audiences has been accompanied by some thoughtful work reflecting on both the history and future of Shakespeare in print, making this a good year to reflect on how today’s texts are shaping future histories.
