불확정성을 복원하기 : 니콜라스 로우의 셰익스피어 편집 작업 연구

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Nicholas Rowe has been widely acclaimed as the authentic precursor of modem Shakespeare editing. He has shown the first concern to collect and scrutinize all of the previous editions and eradicate the errors committed by them according to some "objective" criteria. In doing this he has established the principles of emendation and collocation which have been regarded as two most important rules of modem editing to this day.
But we can find strange discrepancy between his declared rules and his own edition. For example, he didn't restore the dramatis personae lists as they really were in various previous editions. He created them in his own style and added them to the works. There are other instances in which we can see his restoring is actually an arbitrarily remaking what he thinks Shakespeare must have written.
Rowe has also been regarded as the first serious biographer of Shakespeare. No one else before him showed such conscious effort to collect the biographical details of Bard's life. But these details cover only a small portion of Rowe's biography. Across the remaining parts are scattered dubious episodes, rumours, myths and even Rowe's own criticism of the poet's works. In sum, his biography is nothing more than a heap of some interesting, but groundless and fictive episodes. As in editing, what he tried to was to "remake" the poet's life as he thought worthy of the poet's name.
