Each individual playlink (for ex. The Tempest) gives access to the data extracted from the FOLIO and also provides NOTES on chronology, structure and the purported nature of the FOLIO’s underlying copy of said play . These notes are based on a variety of sources but two in particular should be mentionned: G. Blakemore Evans’ & J.M.M. Tobins’ RIVERSIDE SHAKESPEARE (2nd ed. 1997), and Stanley Wells’ & Gary Taylor’s WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: A TEXTUAL COMPANION (Oxford, 1987; reprinted by Norton, 1997).

This page provides links to the raw (TLN) DATA of each play-graph. The plays are arranged according to the FOLIO’s three play categories of COMEDIES, HISTORIES, & TRAGEDIES. The order of plays exactly reproduces that of the FOLIO. For each individual play, we provide two links:

• A first link (for ex. The Tempest) gives access to the data extracted from the FOLIO. This link also provides NOTES on chronology, structure and the purported nature of the FOLIO’s underlying copy of the play . These notes are based on a variety of sources but two in particular should be mentionned: G. Blakemore Evans’ & J.M.M. Tobins’ RIVERSIDE SHAKESPEARE (2nd ed. 1997), and Stanley Wells’ & Gary Taylor’s WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE: A TEXTUAL COMPANION (Oxford, 1987; reprinted by Norton, 1997).

• A second link (for ex. http://zboing.ca/shakespeare/svg/Comedies/TheTempest) gives access to the graph itself. PRINCIPAL CHARACTERS (as well as some significant SECONDARY or MINOR characters) are listed on the graph’s vertical Y AXIS, while their ENTRANCES and EXITS appear along the horizontal X AXIS representing the play’s FOLIO lineation (in the case of THE TEMPEST, 2342 TLN lines). Small crosses (†) indicate when characters are deceased. We indicate ACT BREAKS either by solid or broken vertical lines. When the FOLIO provides the act breaks, the lines are solid; when it does not, we then relied either on contemporaneous QUARTOS (if available) or a subsequent editions to establish these breaks, but their lines are then broken.

An added feature, which provides a further perspective on the plays, is our displaying METATHEATRICAL devices such as PLAYS-WITHIN-THE-PLAYS (which appear as vertical FRAMES in the graphs) and DISGUISED CHARACTERS (which appear as smaller horizontal FRAMES around individual characters). For instance, in THE TEMPEST the “Masque of Juno” (4.1.59–138sd / TLN 1707 to 1806) is framed as a Play-within-the-play, while the character of ARIEL who briefly appears disguised as a “Harpy “ (3.3.52sd −82sd / TLN 1583 to1616) is, likewise, indicated as such on the graph.
