SHAKESPEARES BOOK: THE INTERTWINED LIVES/ FIRST FOLIO (PB)

In this book, Shakespeare scholar Dr Chris Laoutaris uncovers the friendships, bonds, social ties and professional networks that facilitated the production of Shakespeare’s First Folio, as well as the personal challenges, tragedies and dangers that threatened its completion. He also considers how Shakespeare himself may have influenced the ways in which his own public identity would come to be enshrined, 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’.
