The New Variorum edition of "Coriolanus" will be a CD-ROM and a book of some 900 pages, of which about 550 are the text of the play in its original 1623 spelling with textual variants just below and explanatory notes on the same and following page. Appendices cover the transmission of the text, date of composition, sources, criticism, stage history, and sound effects. A sixty-page bibliography follows. Two tasks need to be done in summer 2007: collation of MS. emendations in 18th c. editions and an essay on the Folio text and its later transmission. Also, the History of Criticism and the Bibliography require to be worked on as time permits. The aim is to have all sections of the NV in the hands of the general editors by December 31, 2007. |
