About the Author

Includes the names: William Heming, William Heminge

Disambiguation Notice:

I guess this is really an un-disambiguation notice. William Heminge was the son of Shakespeare's fellow-actor and first editor John Heminge. Due to the vagaries of Elizabethan orthography their surname was spelled variously by their contemporaries (and by themselves): Heminge, Heming, Hemings, Heminges, Hemminge, etc. These spelling variations have carried over to modern writings by and about William and John.
