The year 2023 marks the 400th anniversary of Mr William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies, known today simply as the First Folio. It is difficult to imagine a world without The Tempest, Twelfth Night, Antony and Cleopatra, The Winter’s Tale and Macbeth, but these are just some of the plays that were only preserved thanks to the astounding labour of love that went into creating the first collection.
Shakespeare’s Book: The Intertwined Lives Behind the First Folio charts, for the first time, the manufacture of the First Folio against a turbulent backdrop of seismic political events and international tensions that intersected with the lives of its creators. Shakespeare scholar Dr Chris Laoutaris uncovers the friendships, bonds, social ties and professional networks that facilitated the production of Shakespeare ’ s book, as well as the personal challenges, tragedies and dangers that threatened its completion. And he considers how Shakespeare himself, before his death, may have influenced the ways in which his own public identity would come to be enshrined in the First Folio, shaping the transmission of his legacy to future generations and determining how the world would remember him ‘not of an age, but for all time’.
‘Beautifully written and utterly compelling… comprises all the drama, intrigue and surprises of a Shakespeare play' Tracy Borman
Laoutaris new book is a deep dive into the Elizabethan era, shedding light on the editors and publishers who played a crucial role in the creation of the First Folio. This latest collection is a testament to his status as a top figure in literary criticism, offering fresh perspectives on the Tudor period (1485-1603) and the complex relationships that influenced Shakespeare's lasting legacy.
For fans of Judi Dench (Shakespeare), Emma Smith (Shakespeare's First Folio), Tracy Borman (Elizabeth's Women), Elizabeth Winkler (Shakespeare Was a Woman and Other Heresies), and Andrea Wulf (Magnificent Rebels).
