"Shakespeare's First Folio" by William Shakespeare is a collection of plays published in 1623, seven years after the playwright's death. Prepared by Shakespeare's colleagues John Heminges and Henry Condell, this folio contains 36 plays and is considered one of history's most influential books. Eighteen plays, including "The Tempest," "Macbeth," and "Twelfth Night," appear here for the first time in print. Of approximately 750 copies originally printed, 235 survive today, preserving the only reliable texts for roughly twenty of Shakespeare's works. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
