Description
Edizione: very scarce. from the important theobold oeuvre. although theobold ultimately gave way to johnson in popularity, he remains one of the pre-eminent shakespearean editors. churton collins, writing in the dnb, claimed it “would not be too much to say that the text of shakespeare owes more to theobold than to any other editor.”<br> the collection also draws on two rival editions, j. tonson’s and r. walker’s. although the two are nearly identical, tonson issued an advertisement warning the public against “such useless, pirated, and maim’d editions, as are publish’d by the said r. walker.” <br> henry vi part ii contains famous quotations among which are:<br><br>could i come near your beauty with my nails,<br>i'd set my ten commandments in your face.<br>(eleanor, act 1 scene 3)<br><br>the fox barks not when he would steal the lamb.<br>(suffolk, act 3 scene 1)<br><br>for where thou art, there is the world itself,<br>with every several pleasure in the world:<br>and where thou art not, desolation.<br>(suffolk, act 3 scene 2)<br><br>small things make base men proud.<br>(suffolk, act 4 scene 1)<br><br>true nobility is exempt from fear.<br>(suffolk, act 4 scene 1)<br><br>the first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.<br>(dick the butcher, act 4 scene 2)<br>
