The Plays  Rowe worked hard on the edition, recognising that  the text needed some serious attention. As he said in his preface: 'I  have taken some Care to redeem him [Shakespeare] from the Injuries of  former Impressions. I must not pretend to have return'd this Work to the  Exactness of the Author's Original Manuscripts: Those are lost, or, at  least, are gone beyond any Inquiry I could make; so that there was  nothing left, but to compare the several Editions, and give the true  Reading as well as I could from thence.'      The Poems  Tonson had in 1707 bought the copyright to  Shakespeare's plays but not to the poems. In 1710 a rival publisher,  Edmund Curll, published an additional volume, designed to look like the  six volumes of Rowe's edition and titled 'Volume the Seventh'. Charles  Gildon edited the poems but he also provided a glossary of obscure  words, an essay on the history of drama, a commentary on the plays and  numerous other features that Rowe had, in his view, failed to provide.  Gildon's work is a vital addition to Rowe's edition, completing the  presentation of the text with the poems but also adding to Rowe's way of  making the plays available and understandable.

In 1807 the first of the major editions of Shakespeare&#39;s works was published by Jacob Tonsen, edited by the dramatist Nicholas Rowe. This volume again presents that text and also includes Shakespeare&#39;s poems, edited by Gildon in 1710.
