Reviews"It bears in fascinating ways on the kinds of local decisions editors of Shakespeare constantly make....A book for anyone who wants to write about Hamlet, King Lear, or Othello, and it will be especially interesting to any who set out to reedit them."--Studies in English Literature"...a good, idiosyncratic book on Shakespeare....so courteously written, so curiously intimate in manner and so engagingly clear and resourceful in argument, that anybody with a genuine interest in Shakespeare...should read it for pleasure and then reread it to pick quarrels about details....Few readers, glancing past the sigla in the footnotes of their copies, can ever have expected that so much delight and wisdom might be gotten from them, and many rewards in the forms of both agreement and dissent. And how rare a pleasure it is actually to admire a book on Shakespeare!"--London Review of Books"...I find the book filled with striking insights,...Jone's work is productive, engaging and lucid."--Sixteenth Century Journal, "It bears in fascinating ways on the kinds of local decisions editors of Shakespeare constantly make....A book for anyone who wants to write about Hamlet, King Lear, or Othello, and it will be especially interesting to any who set out to reedit them."--Studies in English Literature "...a good, idiosyncratic book on Shakespeare....so courteously written, so curiously intimate in manner and so engagingly clear and resourceful in argument, that anybody with a genuine interest in Shakespeare...should read it for pleasure and then reread it to pick quarrels about details....Few readers, glancing past the sigla in the footnotes of their copies, can ever have expected that so much delight and wisdom might be gotten from them, and many rewards in the forms of both agreement and dissent.

SynopsisWhy did Shakespeare revise his plays? In a brilliant and pioneering analysis, the distinguished critic John Jones explores the critical and dramatic significance of Shakespeare's revisions. Analyzing such plays as Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Troilus and Cressida, he reveals the artistic impact of the revisions and their importance for our understanding of each play's moral and metaphysical foundations., It has been established by textual specialists, and is now becoming widely accepted, that Shakespeare revised many of his plays, including some of the most celebrated. But how were the great tragedies altered and with what effect?

This is vivid, enthralling stuff. Jones carries his argument down, as he puts it, to the very tip of Shakespeare's quill pen. In characteristically lucid and accessible prose, he assesses recent textual scholarship on Shakespeare's revisions and illuminates the artistic impact of the revised texts and their importance for our understanding of each play's moral and metaphysical foundations. Shakespeare at Work brings together English literature's greatest writer and one of its most distinguished critics. The result is a book that will prove a revelation - essential and also fascinating reading for scholars, students, and Shakespeare enthusiasts alike., Why did Shakespeare revise his plays?
