Title
The Bard And The Book: How The First Folio Saved The Plays Of William Shakespeare From Oblivion,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The unlikely true story of why we know the name William Shakespeare today, and the fourhundredyearold book that made it possible.Four hundred years ago, no one bothered to write down the exact words of stage plays. Characters lines were scribbled on small rolls of paper (as in, an actors role) and passed around, but no master script was saved for the future. The main reason weve heard of Romeo, Juliet, Hamlet, and Shakespeare himself is that a group of people made the excellent choice to preserve the plays after the Bard died. If they hadnt created the book known as the First Folio, Shakespeare and his works would surely have been lost to history.Part literary scavenger hunt (the search for every existing First Folio continues today), part book trivia treasure trove, and part love letter to Shakespeare, this behindthescenes, sharply funny true story is an ideal introduction to the Bard and his famous plays.
