on acid-free paper by Biddles Ltd, King’s Lynn, Norfolk ISBN 0-19-928078-9 978-0-19-928078-0 10 For my parents and for Beck Acknowledgements This book developed out of a suggestion made by Ian Donaldson; in the Ph.D thesis he then supervised at Cambridge and subsequently my indebtedness to him has been as great as such a thing ever should be My examiners, Jonathan Bate and Simon Jarvis, helped me to see how that thesis might become a book; both at earlier and later stages, my teachers at Girton College, Juliet Dusinberre, Anne Fernihough, and James Simpson, read parts of my work and showed me how it might be undertaken As Jonson writes finely in Discoveries: ‘I thanke those, that have taught me, and will ever.’ At Leeds, David Fairer, Robert Jones, and John Whale have all commented on at least one chapter; I am grateful for conversations with Michael Brennan, Martin Butler, and David Lindley; and Paul Hammond, besides other kindnesses, helped me to think through the shape and purpose of the book The comments of David Bevington and my two other (anonymous) readers at Oxford University Press have enabled me to improve my final text; Sophie Goldsworthy and Andrew McNeillie have encouraged me through the process of that improvement Jacqueline Baker, Tom Perridge, and Jean van Altena have expertly guided the book into print Any errors that have survived are mine I gratefully acknowledge the financial support of the Arts and Humanities Research Board, who funded my doctoral work, and latterly the British Academy, whose award of a Postdoctoral Fellowship has allowed me to complete work on the book I am grateful also to the Beinecke Library, Yale University, and the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, DC, for the award of visiting fellowships that enabled me to work with their collections; the School of English at the University of Leeds has also supported my research For permission to quote from manuscript and printed material in their care I am grateful to the following institutions and individuals: the Beinecke Library, Yale University; the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford; the British Library, London; Cambridge University Library; Special Collections, University of Delaware Library; Edinburgh University Library; the Elizabethan Club, Yale University; the Folger Shakespeare Library, Washington, DC; the Huntington Library, San

material presented in Chapters and was published in The Library; I am grateful to the Council of the Bibliographical Society and the journal’s editor, Oliver Pickering, for permission to use this material Without the support of my parents, Chris and Roy, my sister, Rosie, and my brother, Joe, this research would not have been possible; without Beck, though, it would have been miserable; and Daniel has provided a very strong incentive to bring it now to a close Tom Lockwood Leeds, September 2004 This page intentionally left blank Contents Abbreviations and A Note on Texts x Introduction:
