Shakespeare's Folios

Shakespeare's Folios are large, carefully compiled books that collect William Shakespeare's plays, first published in 1623, seven years after his death. These Folios are crucial because they are the primary sources for most of his works and help preserve his legacy. They include original scripts, key editorial notes, and sometimes additional commentary. The Folios were produced by friends and publishers who wanted to honor Shakespeare’s talent, ensuring his plays would be shared and remembered. Today, they are valuable historical documents and treasured artifacts for understanding and studying Shakespeare’s contributions to literature.
