He published this catalogue of the emendations, including his commentary on them, in 1852. Collier then presented the so-called 'Perkins Folio' to the Duke of Devonshire, whose successor allowed it to be loaned in 1859 to the British Museum, where a thorough examination exposed it as a forgery. A storm of controversy followed and three of the key documents in the debate, all published in 1860, are also reissued here: 'An Inquiry into the Genuineness of the Manuscript Corrections in Mr. J. Payne Collier's Annotated Shakspere Folio, 1632' by Nicholas Hamilton (d.1915), assistant keeper of manuscripts at the British Museum; Collier's attempt to refute Hamilton's findings; and 'A Review of the Present State of the Shakespearian Controversy' by Thomas Duffus Hardy (1804–78).\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eNotes and emendations to the text of Shakespeare's plays\u003cbr\u003e An inquiry into the genuineness of the manuscript corrections in Collier's annotated Shakespeare\u003cbr\u003e Mr Collier's reply to Mr Hamilton's 'Inquiry'\u003cbr\u003e A review of the present state of the Shakespearian controversy.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Theatre studies [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Theatre studies\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Theatre%20studies%20%5BAN%5D%22\"\u003eAN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46266136690968,"sku":"9781108059459","price":58.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108059459i_e3ba0a30-bd9d-4fee-a675-f69979dd338b.jpg?v=1696747443","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/notes-and-emendations-to-the-text-of-shakespeares-plays-the-textual-controversy-paperback-9781108059459","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
