Shakespeare and the Stage / With a Complete List of Theatrical Terms Used by Shakespeare in His Plays and Poems, Arranged in Alphabetical Order, & Explanatory Notes

Transcriber’s Notes
This e-text is based on the printed edition of ‘Shakespeare and the Stage,’ by Maurice Jonas, from 1918. Inconsistent spelling and hyphenation have been retained, but punctuation and typographical errors have been corrected.
Illustrations, as well as facsimiles of book titles and exemplary book pages, have been moved between two paragraphs for reasons of clarity and comprehensibility. As a consequence, page references for illustrations have been removed, because in most cases they are no longer consistent with the original. Some title lines of the facsimile pages seem to be cropped at the upper end. These errors originate from the printed book; the rest of the titles cannot be retrieved.
Some sections in the original have been printed in black letter, which is illustrated by using the ‘Old English Text MT’ font in the electronic version. If this font cannot be installed in the reader device, these passages will be displayed in sans-serif standard typeface.
The chapters in the original book have been numbered inconsistently; the correct numbering scheme has been applied to this electronic version.
Repeated, missing or inconsistent quotations have been adopted from the original without modifications. No changes have been made to passages copied from Shakespeare’s plays by the author; some suspected errors have not been corrected.
