Annotation:
	Uses 3 Henry VI and Pericles to argue that recent abandonment, headed in great part by New Textualists, of the New Bibliographical principle of discriminating between early editions of Shakespeare plays is presentist in the worst sense of that term for it vitiates modern critical editions; suggests that modern critical editions should instead retain the plays' power to generate new meanings in the present and future.
