Description
Charles Knight's passion for Shakespeare resulted in an elaborately illustrated edition called Pictorial Shakespeare. Although intended for a popular audience, Knight's edition is a work of serious scholarship, gathering together in its extensive apparatus commentary on the textual, historical, and theatrical aspects of each play. Every drama begins with an 'Introductory Notice,' 'Historical Illustrations' being appended to the text and concludes with a 'Supplementary Notice' that is essentially interpretive. In his commentary Knight ranges over a number of concerns - discussions of the text, sources, literary criticism, costuming, medieval architecture, dating, the historicity of the events and characters dramatized, aspects of performance, and the like. Charles Knight (15 March 1791 – 9 March 1873) was an English publisher, editor and author.
