The Concise Oxford Companion to English Literature | 2003 | | Copyright

Capell, Edward (1713–81), Shakespearian commentator. His edition of Shakespeare in 10 vols (1768) was the first to be based on complete and careful collations of all the old copies, and it is his arrangement of the lines that is now usually followed. His Commentary, Notes and Various Readings to Shakespeare, was published in 3 vols in 1783. Capell was responsible for the first full scholarly discussion of Shakespeare's sources, and for the first attempt to establish the relationship between the folios and Quartos.
