Life and careerHorace Furness was the son of the Unitarian minister and abolitionist William Henry Furness (1802–1896), and brother of the architect Frank Furness (1839–1912). He graduated from Harvard University in 1854, then studied in Germany.[2] After returning to the United States, he was admitted to the Philadelphia Bar in 1859, but his growing deafness interfered with the practice of law.[3] In 1860, he joined the Shakspere {{sic}} Society of Philadelphia, an amateur study group that took its scholarship seriously. As he later wrote:
As editor of the "New Variorum" editions of Shakespeare—also called the "Furness Variorum"—he collected in a single source 300 years of references, antecedent works, influences and commentaries.{{Citation needed|date=September 2015}} He devoted more than forty years to the series, completing the annotation of sixteen plays. His son, Horace Howard Furness, Jr. (1865–1930), joined as co-editor of the Variorum's later volumes, and continued the project after the father's death, annotating three additional plays and revising two others.{{Citation needed|date=September 2015}} He was a lecturer at the University of Pennsylvania, a long-serving trustee (1880–1904), and chairman of the building committee for its library. Designed by his brother Frank, Horace selected the Shakepearean quotes for the 1891 building's leaded glass windows.[5] He was the advisor for doctoral student Emily Jordan Folger who, with her husband Henry Clay Folger, would co-found the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, DC.[6] An 1890 review in Blackwood's Magazine may indicate the esteem in which British critics held Furness's scholarship:
New VariorumVolumes edited by Horace Howard FurnessMany of these publications went through a number of 'editions' (or perhaps reprints): this list attempts to detail the last online edition available.
Volumes edited by H. H. Furness, Jr.
The Modern Language Association of America continues the "New Variorum" project with the goal of definitively annotating all 38 of Shakespeare's plays.[9] Other works
