Twelfth Night (1922) Yale/Appendix C
APPENDIX C
The Text
The earliest known text of Twelfth Night is that of the First Folio of 1623.
The text of the present edition is by permission that of Craig's Oxford Shakespeare, published by the Oxford University Press. Deviations from the Oxford text have been made in a few places, usually to restore the reading of the First Folio. Minor changes of spelling and punctuation have generally not been listed.
The stage directions are those of the First Folio. The usual modern additions of place of scene and other supplementary directions have been enclosed in square brackets.
