Excerpt from A Study of Shakespeare's Versification: With an Inquiry Into the Trustworthiness of the Early Texts, an Examination of the 1616 Folio of Ben Jonson's Works, and Appendices Including A; Revised Text of Antony and Cleopatra The enterprise on which this book embarks is frankly a bold one, for it aims at two objects, distinct yet inseparable, which are nothing less than revolutionary, and this in so familiar and well-worked a field as the text of Shakespeare's plays. Its purpose is, first to give an intelligible and consistent account of the structure and characteristic features of his dramatic verse, the essential principles of which appear to have been wholly misconceived hitherto, and secondly to show that there are many thousands of lines of it that are given in modern texts not as their author intended them to be delivered, but clipped and trimmed to a featureless uniformity that he would have abhorred. The plays as we have them present many problems, and among them one which forces itself upon our attention at every turn and therefore cannot be ignored. No solution of it has yet been found or, so far as I am aware, even sought, and it is for these reasons that it is here taken in hand. Its outlines may be briefly stated.

Book Description
The Reverend Matthew Albert Bayfield (1852-1922) published this study at the end of his life after a long career as classical scholar, editor of Greek tragedies and headmaster of several public schools. He gives an account of the structure and characteristic features of Shakespeare's dramatic verse and argues that it has been fundamentally misunderstood by other scholars. In particular, he analyses the use of contractions or abbreviations found in the Folio and Quartos and continued in the editions of his own time. He weighs up which of the contractions familiar from many editions were actually Shakespeare's, and what that reveals about how Shakespeare might have intended his prose and verse to be spoken. Bayfield's many appendices evaluating the metre of specific lines and his detailed linguistic analysis remain thought-provoking for modern editors and scholars of Shakespeare.
