1. 1. The Making Of Shakespeare's First Folio

   

   This book reconstructs the creation and early life of the 1623 collection of Shakespeare’s plays, showing how actors, editors, printers, compositors and booksellers collaborated (and sometimes conflicted) to produce a flawed but enduring volume. Drawing on archival records, material evidence and printing history, it explains the technical processes, economic pressures and editorial choices behind the Folio’s texts, layout and distribution. The account reveals how the act of making the book — its mistakes, restorations and marketing — shaped how Shakespeare was preserved and remembered.
