If there has ever been a groundbreaking edition that likewise returns the reader to the original Shakespeare text it will be THE APPLAUSE FOLIO TEXTS. If there has ever been an accessible version of the Folio it is this edition. The Folio is the source of all other editions. The Folio text forces us to reexamine the assumptions and prejudices which have encumbered over four hundred years of scholarship and performance. Notes refer the reader to subsequent editorial interventions and offer the reader a multiplicity of interpretations. Notes also advise the reader on variations between Folios and Quartos.
