(The Two Gentlemen of Verona was first printed, so far The...)
The Two Gentlemen of Verona was first printed, so far The Text. as is known, in the Folio of 1623, where it stands second among the Comedies, being immediately preceded by The Tempest and followed by The Merry Wives. It is there divided into A cts and Scenes, and is one of the few plays to which a list of the dramatis persona is appended. It marks no locality, general or particular. The text is unusually free from corruption; a circumstance from which Johnson argued that it was seldom played, but which Malone attributed, I think with more reason, to the simplicity of the style, the play being written so clearly as to escape emendation. Following the First Folio wherever possible, I have accepted sixteen small corrections from the Second (of which all but III. i. 149, IV. iv. 79, v. iv. 67 are of easily corrigible misprints), besides seven inserted stage-directions for exit and many for entry, the First Folio contenting itself with the customary enumeration at the head of each scene of all the characters which are to appear in it. I have taken no corrections from the Third Folio (save comma, IV. i. 49), and but one from the Fourth (v. ii. 32). In the Second Folio I count sixty other changes from the First, most of them careless errors, though one or two are attempts at emendation. The Third reproduces all of these save three or four, and adds thirty-five more; while the Fourth further swells the number by about a dozen. I have chosen for record only a small proportion of these changes or corruptions, usually such as might have something to recommend them or may have led to more successful emendation by the editors. From the editors I have, of course, accepted many corrections. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

Unless Shakespeare owed snggestions to a play called Troilus and Cressida upon which Dekker and Chettle were engaged in 1599, but which has not come down to us, the plot of our drama may be taken as derived in the main from Chaucer s Troilus and Criseyde Caxton s Recuye Uof the Historyes of Troye and Lydgate s Historye Seg Cyand dystruccyon of Troye. To these may be added Chapman stranslation of the Iliad (of which books i. ii. and vii.-xi. were published in 1598) as furnishing hints of character; especially in the case of Thersites, whose portrait, physical and moral, is only more elaborately worked out by the dramatist. Of Shakespeare sobligations to Caxton and Lydgte there can be no doubt. On the question whether in the Cressida myth he was primarily and chiefly indebted to Chaucer, somethii will be said further on. Troilus and Cressida was first published in 1609. It then appeared as a quarto, of which there were two impressions differing only in the title-page and in the fact that one of them is prefaced by an address to the reader.

The goal of the Encyclopedia of Estate Planning is to explain in plain language the difficult concepts involved in forging an effective estate plan. The complexity of the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act of 2001, signed into law by President George W. Bush on June 7 of that year, makes estate planning now more important than ever. This guide seeks to help the reader master the basic tools of estate planning through clear prose and 56 chapter topics. It is meant to be a resource book for everyone, not just the wealthy. Further, regardless of what Congress does in the future to remedy the confusion associated with the new tax law, this text will still have relevance for you.
