Description:The First Folio, published in 1623, was an improbable collection of William Shakespeare’s plays made possible by the determination of his friends John Heminge and Henry Condell, who persuaded a group of businessmen to publish it. Their effort was influenced by Ben Jonson, whose earlier folio of his own plays challenged the belief that drama was not literature worthy of prestigious book form. Jonson’s and Shakespeare’s folios later inspired publisher Humphrey Moseley to produce a folio of plays attributed to Beaumont and Fletcher during the period when theaters were closed under Cromwell. "Four Hundred Years of Shakespeare’s First Folio" recounts the history of all three folios, tracing Shakespeare’s folio’s legacy through reproductions, scholarly study, thefts, and forgery.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
