		Shakespeare does not seem to have taken any interest in the publication of his plays, and those that did appear were often pirated.

		Shakespeare was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, England, in April 1564, the son of John Shakespeare, a glove maker, and Mary Arden.
		The baptism of Shakespeare is recorded on April 26 of that year and the 23rd has traditionally been considered his birthday.
		Shakespeare became an actor, writer and ultimately part-owner of an acting company known as The Lord Chamberlain's Men - the company was named, like others of the period, for their aristocratic sponsor.

	Who Actually Wrote Shakespeare? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Shakespeare's dramatic art was so different from that of the admired tragedy of the times (that of Corneille and Racine) that it was difficult for a critic to defend or interpret it in reasonable terms.
		Shakespeare was a penetrating psychologist and a profound philosopher; but Coleridge claimed that he was an even greater artist, and his artistry was seen to be "unconscious" or "organic," not contrived.
		Shakespeare has Hamlet say that the aim of theatre performance is to "hold the mirror up to nature," and this is what the history of his plays, from their first production to the latest, shows that he has, preeminently, achieved.

	Folios and Quartos (Shakespeare) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During Shakespeare's lifetime, stage plays were not generally taken seriously as literature and not considered worthy of being collected into folios, so the plays printed while he was alive were printed as quartos.
		Over half of these have been designated by modern scholars as "bad quartos" because their texts are significantly different and often shorter than the "good" versions.
		All of these were quarto editions, with one exception: The True Tragedy of Richard Duke of York, the first edition of Henry VI, part 3, was printed in octavo form in 1594.

		Most plays in the Apocrypha are considered to have named Shakespeare as their author in order to cash in on his success, but all of them have undergone intense scrutiny by scholars to see if Shakespeare may indeed have had a hand in them.

	Notes on Shakespeare
		Of Folios and Facsimiles often comes up in searches, and is rather a good read though it's very much an essay with its own point to push instead of merely a review of the current alternatives.
		Sean B. Palmer: "Unless the publication is to be a faithful reproduction of the folio, where errors-and-all may as well be preserved, it behooves the editor to reduce the untoward effect that the spelling, typography, and inconsistencies between the versions have on the reader.
		It seems there are more low points in the editing of Shakespeare than high ones, and William Warburton is often indicated to be the lowest of all the troughs, but such as the reading of "alarmed" for "all arm'd", there are some amusing bits.

	Hamlet - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Shakespeare's main source, however, is believed to be an earlier play about Hamlet (the Ur-Hamlet), which is attributed to Thomas Kyd and is known to have introduced a ghost to the story.
		While conceding he is one of Shakespeare's greatest creations, critics are at loggerheads over the inner motivations and psyche of this character.
		Another view of Hamlet, advanced by Isaac Asimov in his Guide to Shakespeare, holds that his actions are attributable not to indecision, but to multiple motivations: his desire to avenge the wrong done to his father, coupled with his own ambition to succeed to the throne.

		It is not that electronic editions of Shakespeare (and other authors) were unheard of when Woudhuysen wrote in 1995; while the years since then have seen an explosion in academic interest about such editions, they had already developed a significant presence by 1995.
		Although electronic editions of Shakespeare have been about for some time, today they are receiving an ever-increasing amount of attention.
		Readers of such an ideal hypertextual edition, based upon these principles, could choose from among all early versions of Shakespeare's works (folios and quartos), in both machine-readable transcription and facsimile form, and a good number of those versions that followed.
