Summary

Few editions were released this year as several Shakespeare series recently published their final instalments, and work on new ones, such as Arden 4, is in progress. Those that did appear in 2021–2022 provide exciting new ways of imagining Shakespeare’s plays in performance, be it on the stages of the Royal Shakespeare Company or as part of the repertory that travelled to central Europe in the early seventeenth century. The year 2023 marks the 400th anniversary of the Shakespeare First Folio, and the year’s work raises important questions about the authority of Folio texts whilst providing fresh ways of thinking about its status as a material book and the various agents who helped to produce it. Significant attention was also paid to vectors of influence, with new analysis of the relationship between versions of the Titus Andronicus story and the Ur-Titus, and the direction of travel between Q and F Merry Wives and Henry V.
