	abstract = {This essay begins by examining what is means to be a hospitable editor and then turns these principles on a case study of the Internet Shakespeare Editions project. Finn asserts that the notion of hospitality, that permeates Shakespeare studies, needs to overflow into today{\textquoteright}s editing practices if we have any hope of doing the works justice. There is certainly no lack of Shakespearean editions and, therefore, Finn questions: "Which editions are welcoming? Which provide guests with the space necessary to engage with the text?" For Finn, hospitable editing means user-first editing led by an editor "who neither abdicates responsibility nor tyrannizes by forcing certain practices of reading." Finn argues that this style is exemplified in the Internet Shakespeare Editions. In conclusion, Finn asserts that a "hospitable edition is one that creates a space where a number of readers can come and feel welcome."},
