The Creation of Shakespeare’s First Folio

Ripe Good Scholar

In this episode we will be looking at how Shakespeare’s First Folio came to be and the lasting effect it had on our image of Shakespeare. There were a handful of people involved in the creation of the First Folio and each has an interesting story to tell. Beyond that, the process of getting such a large book published would have been a feat in and of itself. These efforts were not in vain though because the impact of the First Folio can be felt even today.

For this episode, I had the opportunity to speak with Emma Smith about her book Shakespeare’s First Folio.
