Appendices offer excerpts from Shakespeares key sources and influences, including Thomas Lodges Rosalind and Ben Jonsons Every Man in His Humor.A collaboration between Broadview Press and the Internet Shakespeare Editions project at the University of Victoria, the editions developed for this series have been comprehensively annotated and draw on the authoritative texts newly edited for the ISE.
