Summary
The year 2020–2021 witnessed the publication of important titles that invite us to reflect on the history of editing and textual studies, their specific relationship to earlier approaches such as New Bibliography, the responsibilities we bear when presenting new or revisionist narratives, and ways in which the field can do more to embrace diversity. A landmark resource was released in the form of the two-volume New Variorum Edition of King Lear, with Richard Knowles’s breath-taking textual notes recording all variants in seventy-seven editions from the period 1619 to 2000. The Arden Shakespeare Third Series Complete Works was released, as was the much anticipated second edition of Andrew Murphy’s Shakespeare in Print, complete with an updated chronological appendix that now takes us to the year 2017. The first scholarly edition of the commonplace book Bel-vedére or the Garden of the Muses was also published, and exciting new monographs by Faith Acker, Zachary Lesser and Molly G. Yarn were joined by edited collections entitled Shakespeare / Text and the Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Textual Studies.
