ResumoClick to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Acknowledgements Even the smallest editorial endeavour can reflect the effort of a significant number, and this dedicated issue of Shakespeare most certainly embodies that maxim. The editors would like to thank the authors for bridging different worlds so energetically, and those who have provided support and advice, including Anne Correia, Gabriel Egan, Brett Hirsch, Lisa Hopkins, John Lavagnino, Sally-Beth McLean, our anonymous reviewers and all those at Shakespeare. Notes 1. Two caveats must be observed here. First, there is doubt as to whether the dramatic moment of the cylinder's playback upon opening could have happened as the popular accounts describe. Read and Welch Read, Oliver and Welch, Walter L. 1976. From Tin Foil to Stereo, 2nd ed, Indianapolis: Howard W. Sams; Bobbs-Merrill. [Google Scholar] questions whether the apparatus required for playback was available on the occasion, and suggests the text attributed to the recording actually came from a transcription originally sealed with the graphophone (31). Second, we know now that the earliest surviving recorded sound is unfortunately not Shakespeare but the French folk song “Au Claire de la Lune,” recorded on paper in 1860; see Rosen Rosen , Jody . “Researchers Play Tune Recorded Before Edison.” New York Times 27 Mar. 2008 < http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/27/arts/27soun.html >.
