LOGINThe editors’ Preface (e-text 23041) discusses the 17th- and 18th-century editions in detail; the newer (19th-century) editions are simply listed by name. The following editions may appear in the Notes. All inset text is quoted from the Preface.Folios: F1 1623; F2 (no date given); F3 1663; F4 1685.“The five plays contained in this volume occur in the first Folio in the same order, and ... were there printed for the first time.”Early editions: Rowe 1709 Pope 1715“Pope was the first to indicate the place of each new scene; as, for instance, Tempest, I.1. ‘On a ship at sea.’ He also subdivided the scenes as given by the Folios and Rowe, making a fresh scene whenever a new character entered—an arrangement followed by Hanmer, Warburton, and Johnson. For convenience of reference to these editions, we have always recorded the commencement of Pope’s scenes.”Theobald 1733 Hanmer (“Oxford edition”) 1744 Warburton 1747 Johnson 1765 Capell 1768; also Capell’s annotated copy of F2 St
