It sets forth the editorial principles of the Oxford Edition and provides a concise history of Shakespeare editing. It includes, for each play, textual notes, press-variants, discussions of amendations and plausible alternative readings, and letter-by-letter reprint of the stage directions of the control text, among other information.
