Sumario:This article discusses three books that contribute to the scholarship on Shakespeare's texts. The first book, "Ghosts, Holes, Rips and Scrapes: Shakespeare in 1619" by Zachary Lesser, uses advanced technology to examine perplexing quartos and revises our understanding of them. The second book, "Shakespeare's Syndicate: The First Folio, its Publishers, and the Early Modern Book Trade" by Ben Higgins, analyzes the stationers listed in the colophon of Shakespeare's First Folio. The third book, "Shakespeare and Lost Plays: Reimagining Drama in Early Modern England" by David McInnis, explores the significance of lost plays and their integration into the discussion of early modern theatre. These books offer new insights into Shakespeare's texts and methods of approaching them.
