Experience the rich legacy of Shakespeare with this exquisite full-size facsimile of the First Folio, meticulously produced by the British Library. This edition is essential for actors, playwrights, bibliophiles, and anyone who appreciates the beauty of the English language.
Published in celebration of the 400th anniversary of the First Folio's initial publication, this stunning facsimile captures the clarity and detail of an original from the British Library's collection. Housed in a luxurious slipcase, it includes a six-page booklet featuring an introduction from the British Library’s lead curator, who discusses the historical significance and lasting impact of this monumental work. The First Folio, first printed in 1623, compiles thirty-six of Shakespeare’s plays into a single volume, serving as the sole source for eighteen of these masterpieces.
