Keywords: Shakespeare; drama; editorial errors; apocryphalness; critical editions.
Summary/Abstract: The present study addresses several delicate and disturbing issues of the editing and publishing of Shakespeare’s drama, based on the reconstruction of the plays from prompt books, as well as reliable or not quarto editions. While closer than ever to the desirability of a truly, most needed, critical edition, the versions of Shakespeare’s complete works differ significantly in also including or not several plays previously considered to have been apocryphal.
