  1. After stops that took in the Bodleian Library complex and the Radcliffe Science Library, the last stop on the nostalgia tour was the British Library.

    (I wrote large chunks of my PhD thesis camped out there, back in the day.)

    It feels more important than ever to show appreciation for these wondrous and beautiful institutions.

  2. "There can, though, be layers of meaning that still surprise you 10 weeks into a run, he says. 'Usually on a wet Wednesday afternoon matinee, you'll suddenly go "oh, that's what that line means."'"

  3. Unlike the Norton one it uses just a single copy of the original book as its source. Which may mean it is less clear to read in places. But book historian me is a lot happier with this facsimile for authenticity and provenance reasons. Note it's a bit of a whopper! 4kg and 35cm x 23 cm x 8 cm. #RareBooks #Plays #Theatre #17thCentury #SeventeenthCentury #Books #Bookstodon #Shakespeare #FirstFolio #Facsimile #BookHistory

  5. Both poring over the 400th anniversary #BritishLibrary #facsimile #Shakespeare #FirstFolio we bought. It is a very accurate reproduction of an excellent BL copy of the original. And yes we had to look up the bear stage direction. Very nice item to have, large, with sturdy hardback #binding in slipcase. #RareBooks #Plays #Theatre #17thCentury #SeventeenthCentury #Books #Bookstodon

  7. Just bought a British Library 400th anniversary facsimile copy of Shakespeare's First Folio. Absolutely isn't a need. But as a book historian, and given it's a limited edition, I'm afraid I can't pass on this. Shop around if you want to buy it because it's available much cheaper than from BL direct. #Shakespeare #FirstFolio #Bookstodon #BookHistory #Facsimile #Plays #Theatre #17thCentury #SeventeenthCentury #Books #RareBooks

  10. Unboxing Shakespeare’s First Folio
    For proof that Shakespeare’s genius was evident to his contemporaries, look no further than the collection of plays published seven years after his death: Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, and Tragedies (1623), today often called his First Folio.

  12. I love that I have access to the first folio version of Romeo & Juliet in XML as well, so that I can give it a similar treatment.

  13. On the observed birthday of William Shakespeare, here’s a very personal reflection by the actor Simon Callow.

    He’s one of my favorite actors, but I feel a personal connection because one Sunday morning more than a decade ago, I was in London and spotted him walking briskly toward me. Not wanting to intrude, I wished him “good morning,” with a smile, which he returned.

    Not sure, but I think he was on his way to a special service at the Abbey, as he was headed in that direction.

  23. I was an ex-poet in 1623 when the First Folio of my plays was published. It needed some corrections, and Jonson rewrote his preface.

  24. Im Jahr 1622 wurde auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse die erste Werksausgabe William Shakespeares angekündigt. Sie machte den Dramatiker zum Weltstar, dessen Themen und Fragen heute so relevant sind wie damals.
