Talk:Tales from Shakespeare

Information about this edition
Edition:
Source:	http://shakespeare.palomar.edu/lambtales/LAMBTALE.HTM
Contributor(s):	Cowardly Lion
Level of progress:	50%: not proofread or standardised.
Notes:	Will be checked against the printed version of Tales from Shakespeare found in Volume 2 of the two-volume Works of Charles and Mary Lamb, edited by Thomas Hutchinson, and published by Oxford University Press in 1908. That edition uses the spelling "Shakespear", presumably in conformity with the first edition of the Tales. However, as modern editions of the Tales have modernized that spelling, it is not retained here.
Proofreaders:	Cowardly Lion

Scans

It would be good to add scans to this work from [1] --DixonD (talk) 08:47, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

That edition is too modern for my liking. IA does have an 1831 edition which, although not the first edition, was at least published during the Lambs' lifetime. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 10:17, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

Even better. The thing is that having any scanned version for the book would help to avoid discussions what spelling is correct and what is not. We will have just a transcription from some particular edition, nothing more. --DixonD (talk) 10:54, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
