In the 1980s a group of influential scholars argued that the two texts represent distinct stages in the life of King Lear, as Shakespeare revised his play in the light of theatrical performance. In The One King Lear, Sir Brian Vickers challenges this widely accepted theory, arguing that the cuts in the Quarto text, which are too insignificant to have been made to shorten the play, were in fact carried out by the printer because he had underestimated the amount of paper he would need. As for the Folio, the cuts removed passages of a reflective or descriptive nature and were probably made by the theatre company to speed up the action. At stake in this textual argument is the way Shakespeare's play is read and performed"--Publisher's information. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a King Lear at the printer's -- Adjusting text space to print space in the Shakespeare folio and quartos -- Nicholas Okes compresses the play -- Nicholas Okes shortens it -- One play, one manuscript, two printed books -- The Folio editors regularize Shakespeare -- The King's Men abridge a tragedy -- The "two versions" revisited -- Conclusion : towards a new consensus. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $t King Lear $x Criticism, Textual. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $t King Lear. 650 0 $a Transmission of texts $z England $x History $y 17th century. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Folios. 1623. $x Folios. 1623. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Bibliography $v Quartos. 600 10 $a Okes, Nicholas. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020020151.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170203040639.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=16E6C9146B5411E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
