Summary:

"In 1778, Edmond Malone published his first contribution to Shakespeare scholarship, An Attempt to Ascertain the Order in which the Plays Attributed to Shakspeare were Written. He revised and republished it in 1790 and began a further revision of it which was printed posthumously in 1821. This Element is about the three versions of Malone's attempt and the way they created, shaped, focused, directed and misdirected our idea of the chronology and sequence of Shakespeare's plays. By showing Malone's impressive, fallible choices, adopted or adapted by later editors, it reveals how current Shakespeare editions are. In good and bad ways, Malonian at heart."--Page [4] of cover.
