Abstract

This essay shows how the editorial pledges on the title pages of early modern play books were not only a marketing ploy but a testament to the publishers' commitment to produce 'perfected' version of their printers' copies or of earlier printed editions, thus testifying to the rise of the editorial tradition before its official beginning in the early eighteenth century.
