Quarto vs. Folio editorial exercise


The response paper due Monday, October 27 asks that you take on the task of being an editor. After having read the conflated version, return to scene 1.1, and compare a pair of variant words across the quarto and folio. Make an argument that justifies your decision to select one word over the other.

On the following page, you will find a 'conflated' version of the lines from the scene, with significant differences listed as a 'variant.' Click on the 'variant' to see what the respective options are.

For example, the line we discussed at the end of class would look like:

Click on the 'variant' to see your options. Then click on 'return to scene' to see the fully conflated version, with significant variants.
