| Summary |
"The Shakespeare-Expositor: An Aid to the Perfect Understanding of Shakespeare's Plays" by Thomas Keightley is a literary guidebook written in the late 19th century. The book aims to assist readers in fully comprehending the complexities of Shakespeare's works by providing critical insights, textual corrections, and elucidations. It serves as a manual primarily for those who wish to delve deeper into the playwright's texts without resorting to extensive annotated editions that accompany Shakespeare's plays. At the start of the book, Keightley outlines his intentions and the need for such a volume, expressing concern over the general lack of effort among readers to pursue an in-depth understanding of Shakespeare's masterpieces. He emphasizes that the corrections and insights provided in the exposition are essential for grasping the nuances and context of the original texts. This introductory segment positions the book as both a companion to the study of Shakespeare's works and a testament to Keightley’s commitment to enhancing literary appreciation among readers.
