Note on the Text
The following old-spelling text of John Dickenson's
prose fiction, Greene in Conceipt (London: Richard Bradocke
for William Jones, 1598) has been taken from my masters
thesis, "Greene in Conceipt (1598): A Critical Edition with
Commentary" (Memorial University of Newfoundland, 1991).
This edition is the first to consider all the evidence
regarding variants between the two extant copies of the 1598
quarto, located in the Huntington (H) and Bodleian (B)
libraries.
In preparing this text, I have endeavoured to reproduce
the 1598 edition exactly with regards to spelling,
punctuation, paragraphs, indentations, and dialogue, except
for those emendations noted below and in "Text and
Variants." I have silently normalized i/j, u/v, vv/w, and
the two forms of r and s; all ligatures; and all
abbreviations or contractions, including the ampersand, the
macron to represent a missing n or m, superscript e or t
above y to represent "the" or "that," and super . . .
