Titus Andronicus #226945

The Ist folio text was printed from a copy of the zud quarto, which perhaps was in the library of the theatre, and has some ms. Alterations and additions made to the stage-directions. Here, as elsewhere, the printer of the folio has been very careless as to metre. It is remarkable that the folio contains a whole scene (iii. Ii.) not found in the quartos, but agreeing too closely in style with the main portion of the play to allow of the supposition that it is due to a different author. The scene may have been supplied to the player's copy of the and quarto from a manuscript in their possession.
