Description

In 1623 a team of stationers published what has become the most famous volume in English literary history: William Shakespeare's First Folio. Drawing on a host of fresh primary evidence from a wide range of sources, Shakespeare's Syndicate illuminates our understanding of how this landmark volume was made and what it has meant to scholars since.
