Are there Shakespeare editions with corrected subject, object, and verb agreement withing the text?

Question

looking for edition(s) of shakespeare that have corrected subject/object/verb order in passages where shakespeare inverts conventions to emphasize various words or fit a meter or whatever he does

just looking for a greater ease of use of his works for study from a dramatic structure perspective as opposed to performance

do editions such as this exist? point me to one?

Answer 1

The problem is that any changes like that will actually change the dramatic structure.  The closer you get to the Folio the better off you are in terms of dramatic structure, because Shakespeare's didn't write to be read, and his actors didn't have time to rehearse.  So the original punctuation, capitalizations and spellings are the real clues to what's going on.

I'd recommend Secrets of Acting Shakespeare by Patrick Tucker -- it completely demystifies Shakespeare's work.  I understand that your interest has to do with something more literary, but in the case of Shakespeare there is no distinction.
