Timeline

1709

This was the first edition since that of Nicholas Rowe in 1709 to use the First Folio as primary copy text for all the plays.

It won the Falstaff Award for best Shakespearean book of the year.

The edition faced criticism for removing A Lover's Complaint from the Shakespeare canon.

Each play is also published in an individual volume, with additional materials, including interviews with leading stage directors.

1958

Sir Andrew Jonathan Bate, CBE, FBA, FRSL (born 26 June 1958), is a British academic, biographer, critic, broadcaster, scholar, and occasional novelist, playwright and poet.
