Shakespeare's First Folio

Just a few hundred copies of the 1623 edition of Shakespeare's collected plays exist, making it one of the most sought-after publications in history. Emma Smith explores the First Folio's post-publication life, the stories of individual copies, and the way readers, forgers, collectors, actors, scholars, and booksellers have interacted with them.

Exista doar cateva sute de exemplare ale editiei din 1623 a pieselor colectate ale lui Shakespeare, ceea ce o face una dintre cele mai cautate publicatii din istorie. Emma Smith exploreaza viata de dupa publicare a Primului Folio, povestile exemplarelor individuale si modul in care cititorii, falsificatorii, colectionarii, actorii, savantii si vanzatorii de carti au interactionat cu ei.
