Shakespeare's First Folio, published in 1623, is one of the world's
most studied books, prompting speculation about everything from
proof-reading practices in the early modern publishing industry to
the 'true' authorship of Shakespeare's plays. Arguments about the
nature of the First Folio are crucial to every modern edition of
Shakespeare and thus to every reader or student of the plays. This
Companion surveys the critical methods brought to bear on the Folio
and equips readers with the tools to understand it and to develop
their skills in early modern book culture more generally. A team of
international scholars surveys the range of bibliographic,
historical and textual material relating to the Folio, its editors,
collectors and critical reception. This revealing volume will be of
wide interest to scholars of Shakespeare, the history of the book
and early modern drama.
