Shakespeare Weekend

In 1803 Joseph Johnson (1738-1809) published the fifth edition of The Plays of William Shakespeare, in twenty-one volumes, with the corrections and illustrations of various commentators to which are added notes. Originally written by Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) and George Steevens (1736-1800), this fifth edition was edited by Isaac Reed (1742-1807) and became known as the first variorum edition of Shakespeare.

Reed’s collation of previous variations of Shakespeare proved to be a massive undertaking (twenty-one volumes!) that would be reprinted in 1813 and inspire future variorums like that of James Boswell the Younger in 1821 and the New Variorum Shakespeare Project that began in the 1870s and continues to this day as an official project of the Modern Language Association of America (which, btw, was headquartered here at the UWM libraries for 20 years, and the reason we have such a strong Shakespeare collection). The edition opens with a frontispiece engraving of Shakespeare by British engraver James Neagle (d. 1822) followed by an advertisement by Reed. Reed takes this opportunity to sing Steevens praises, including a eulogy written by William Hayley that reads in part “This tomb may perish, but not so his name who shed new lustre upon Shakespeare’s fame!”

Volume One continues with various prefaces and essays by the usual Shakespearean scholars and critics of the time, Malone, Pope, Warburton and of course Nicholas Rowe’s Life of Shakespeare. Printed by John Plymsell out of London, our edition features marble endpapers in a Stormont pattern.

Shakespeare Weekend!

Volumes Two through Nine of Irish scholar Edmond Malone’s (1741-1812) The Plays and Poems of William Shakspeare, in ten volumes closely follow suit to his predecessors. Malone used Samuel Johnson and George Steeven’s ten volume edition as his base text and included the established scene divisions, stage directions, and dramatis personae of the time within the plays. He also published extensive footnotes throughout authored by himself, Shakespearean scholar Richard Farmer (1735-1797), and literary critic William Warburton (1698-1779) to name a few.

Within the footnotes of Henry IV in Volume Five, publisher Joseph Johnson (1738-1809) describes the difference between Filliping the Toad and a Three-Man Beetle. The note is accompanied by one of the very few illustrations found within our copy of Malone’s collection. What the collection lacks in illustrative quantity, it makes up for in quality. The middle of Volume Five houses a pull-out illustration by J. Keyse Sherwin (1751-1790) of Morris Dancers as seen on “an ancient window in the house of George Tollet Esq at Betley in Staffordshire”. The illustration is accompanied by a detailed description of the window written by George Tollet (d. 1719) who alluded to its importance as a visual reference to the costumes and culture of May Day celebrations depicted throughout Shakespeare’s plays.
