6 Acknowledgements The 'Bibliographical Note' acknowledges my debt to the editors and publishers of some of the chapters, or parts of chapters, reprinted in this volume. In addition it is a pleasure to thank all colleagues and students, in many universities, who listened patiently to the lectures that are now printed for the first time. I cannot complain that I lacked criticism; I hope that I benefited from it. It is also a pleasure to thank Kathleen O'Rawe and Margaret Jones for help with typing, and the staff of Newcastle University Library for expert advice and assistance. Harold Jenkins read through the typescript and made many valuable suggestions. My wife, as usual, helped as proof-reader and as the critic's critic, and generously gave this book more of her time than it deserved. vi
7 Note on texts and references Quotations from Shakespeare, and line-references, are taken from Peter Alexander's William Shakespeare: The Complete Works (Collins, 1951). A single line-reference after a quotation is to the first line quoted. Other Elizabethan plays are usually quoted from The Revels Plays (Manchester University Press). Old-spelling quotations from Elizabethan texts are modernised, except that I retain old spelling when there is a special reason for doing so: I hope that this will not cause confusion. vii
8 Bibliographical note Some of the essays in this volume are revised versions of earlier publications or lectures, or reprint parts of earlier publications, as indicated below. I am grateful to the editors and publishers for permission to reprint. I have not sought to disguise the fact that the lectures were written as lectures: my occasional exhortations to attentive listeners will not confuse the attentive reader. 1. 'In search of William Shakespeare: the public and the private man.' Partly based on a review in The New York Review of Books, vol. 31 (17 Jan 1985) pp. 23-6, and on 'Shakespeare and London's immigrant community circa 1600', in Elizabethan and Modern Studies Presented to Willem Schrickx, ed.

From Handelingen van het XXIX Vlaams Filologencongres (Antwerp, privately printed, 1973). Some of the ideas in this chapter were later developed in my Shakespeare: seven tragedies, the dramatist's manipulation of response (Macmillan, 1976). 5. 'The uniqueness of King Lear: genre and production problems.' A lecture delivered on 23 April1983 to the Deutsche Shakespeare Gesellschaft West. Published in Jahrbuch, 'Past, present and future in Macbeth and Antony and Cleopatra.'

Tetsuo Kishi et al, Newark, 1994), pp
10 Preface to the Second Edition For some years now Shakespeare criticism has looked away from the plays and concerned itself with other though related matters - with ideology, the state of society, the Renaissance and similar abstractions. I find the best of this criticism exciting and sympathise with many of its aims, even if I do not see myself as a member of any one of the new critical movements. Readers of this book will, however, discover that while I am uneasy about identifying social institutions in the plays with their Elizabethan counterparts (chapter 3), I try to do justice to Shakespeare's own unease when he deals with 'power' and ideology (chapter 2) or with gender politics or the like (chapter 8). My life-long determination to question received thinking is perhaps most obvious in the chapters on Shakespeare the man (1, 11, 12) and in that on stage directions (10); I believe, though, that the same basic attitudes inform the less transparently radical chapters that try to explain how individual plays work, particularly the chapters on King Lear, Macbeth and Measure for Measure (5, 6, 9). While this is a collection of essays that all grapple with timeless problems rather than with time-bound movements (New Historicism, Cultural Materialism, etc.), I recognise that problems and movements are linked. The problems force me to look at the plays, not away from them, and to investigate what I consider the building-blocks of Shakespearian drama - character, plot, language, genre, response - that is, questions that were asked by Shakespeare's first audiences and that will continue to intrigue the world in centuries to come. And, as we know that his contemporaries saw connections between the plays and Shakespeare the man, and that Herninge and Condell, the editors of the First Folio, already worried about the authenticity of his texts, I have boldly included chapters on these problems, which may displease those who say they believe in 'the death of the author' or that any text of Hamlet is as valid as any other 'as long as it works in the theatre'. In fact, I have added a twelfth chapter to this edition which brings together the author's personality and our interpretation of his text in a special way, and which also picks up threads from earlier chapters: the gentleness of 'gentle Shakespeare' (chapter 1); the integrity of a text and its revisions (chapters 7, 11); X
11 Preface to the Second Edition xi the interconnectedness of the critical questions we have to ask (introduction and chapter 7). To repeat: the essays not only by-pass fashionable movements, they also - I hope - avoid the jargon and tunnel vision that these movements too often encourage. I want a general reader, if such a creature really exists, to be able to follow the argument, and I want him or her to understand the problems rather than to accept my solutions. Inevitably, I have changed or partly changed my mind on some issues. It may interest readers to know how and why. After 14 years of hard labour on a new Arden edition of Othello (Arden 3, 1997) I felt obliged to renounce my earlier endorsement of Nevill Coghill's argument for the revision of this play, and have also thought again about the revision of King Lear. 1 Nevertheless, the revision theory seems to me to have stood the test of time, in these two tragedies and as applied to Shakespeare more generally, even if some believers in Shakespearian revision appear to forget that other explanations of variant passages are also possible, and are sometimes much more likely. 2 I have returned more than once to Shakespeare's social awareness and ideology, in reviews and scattered articles, and likewise in unpublished lectures on the Sonnets and on 'The Subversiveness of Henry V'. Even now, I would urge, after all the books and articles of the last dozen or so years, we still need to look more carefully at the Elizabethan social background and at its bearing on our interpretation of the plays. 3 So far as I know, 'Trends in the discussion of Shakespeare's characters' has not received much attention. It may be worth pointing out that the 'attack on character' with which chapter 4 begins has continued, as has the defence of character. 4 This is another debate that is likely to go on in the foreseeable future. The original version of my new chapter 12, first published in 1991 and now reissued in expanded form, has already drawn an interesting comment from Richard Wilson. According to Wilson's Will Power Essays on Shakespearean Authority, Shakespeare's will was not as eccentric as I suggested (I prefer the word unusual), because the will to paternal power of Shakespeare's generation was grounded in a legal right to acquire property and determine its transmission which had not existed before and would never be
12 xii Preface to the Second Edition so absolute again until the Wills Act of It was an authority that the dramatist exploited to the full when he revised his own will... (p. 209) It is useful to be reminded that the structure of Shakespeare's will was influenced by historical developments. Nevertheless, Wilson concedes that 'it was Susanna, not, as custom dictated, her mother, who was made executrix of the will' (p. 210), and Shakespeare's other deviations from custom can now be more clearly understood with the help of a collection of wills, many of them previously unpublished, issued in the same year as Wilson's Will Power, namely Playhouse Wills (eds. E. A. J. Honigmann and Susan Brock, Manchester, 1993). NOTES 1. See pp. 21~, below; my The Texts of 'Othello' (1996), pp. 7-21; and my reviews in New York Review of Books, xxxi (1984), 16-18, and xxxvii (1990), Cf. my review of Grace Ioppolo, Revising Shakespeare in Modern Language Review, 88 (1993), Cf. my papers on 'Shakespeare and London's Immigrant Community circa 1600' (in Elizabethan and Modern Studies, ed. J.P. Vander Motten, Ghent, 1985) and on 'Social questioning in Elizabethan and Jacobean plays' (in Jacobean Drama as Social Criticism, Salzburg University Studies, ed. James Hogg, 1995). 4. Cf.
