Troilus and Cressida /

Textual Notes: Troilus and Cressida

The reading of the present text appears to the left of the square bracket. Unless otherwise noted, the reading to the left of the bracket is from Q, the First Quarto text of 1609 (upon which this edition is based). The earliest sources of readings not in Q are indicated as follows: F is the First Folio of 1623; F2 is the Second Folio of 1632; F3 is the Third Folio of 1663–64; F4 is the Fourth Folio of 1685; Ed. is an earlier editor of Shakespeare, beginning with Rowe in 1709. No sources are given for emendations of punctuation or for corrections of obvious typographical errors, like turned letters that produce no known word. SD means stage direction; SP means speech prefix: uncorr. means the first or uncorrected state of Q or of F; corr. means the second or corrected state of Q or of F; ~ stands in place of a word already quoted before the square bracket; ^ indicates the omission of a punctuation mark. 1st setting refers to the first attempt to set into type the first page of the play for F; 2nd setting refers to the second attempt (for discussion of this matter, see “An Introduction to This Text”).
