About the book

The Norton Facsimile of Shakespeare's First Folio reproduces the famous 1623 collection that brought together many of William Shakespeare's plays for the first time after his death. The original First Folio is one of the most important books in English literary history, preserving plays that might otherwise have been lost, including Macbeth, Twelfth Night and The Tempest. A facsimile allows readers to experience the typography, spelling and layout of the seventeenth-century edition while providing an invaluable connection to the earliest printed form of Shakespeare's complete dramatic achievement.
