THE original Arden Macbeth,edited by Henry Cuningham,firstappeared in 1912.The present edition owes much to its predecessor,many of the notes being used with little or no change;butthere are substantial alterations.The introduction is new;the text(for which Mr Cuningham was not responsible) has been revised,and several hundred small alterations have been made in it--mostof them consisting of a return to the First Folio;nearly all the notescontain alterations,and many are entirely new;and the appendicesare new.There are,in fact,so many alterations that it was notpossible to print from the old stereos.
