Bradley, Greg, Folger

This volume is part of a series which profiles people who have had the greatest influence on the interpretation, understanding, and reception of Shakespeare, both in Britain and internationally. The goal is to widen the sense of who has contributed to Shakespeare's afterlives by including not only actors and scholars but novelists, poets, playwrights, and composers. Each volume highlights a particular cluster of issues, or a period of time. The subjects of this volume, A. C. Bradly (1851-1935), an academic in England and Scotland; American industrialist and philanthropist Henry Clay Folger (1857-1930); and English bibliographer W. W. Greg (1875-1959) demonstrate modern changes in the publication and collection of Shakespeare's works. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
