Evans compared various existing versions of the plays and applied his study of Elizabethan handwriting and printing processes in an attempt to create texts that were closer to Shakespeare’s original version. “He was the best there was at that kind of editing...

To strengthen his position, Mubarak has adopted reform as his own agenda and promised change from within.
