In a text that adopts modern spelling, logical procedure calls for modern punctuation. Hence the present edition has been repunctuated in strict accordance with the rules that Shakespeare would presumably observe if he were writing today. The introductions which preface each play undertake to give, in brief, the pertinent facts. They discuss the basis of the text, the date of composition, the source of the plot, the dramatic method, and such other significant matters as space permits. (#00002196)
