It is considered one of the most influential books ever published in the English language.Printed in folio format and containing 36 plays (see list of Shakespeares plays), it was prepared by Shakespeares colleagues John Heminges and Henry Condell. It was dedicated to the incomparable pair of brethren William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke and his brother Philip Herbert, Earl of Montgomery (later 4th Earl of Pembroke).Although 18 of Shakespeares plays had been published in quarto before 1623, the First Folio is arguably the only reliable text for about 20 of the plays, and a valuable source text for many of those previously published. The Folio includes all of the plays generally accepted to be Shakespeares, with the exception of Pericles, Prince of Tyre; The Two Noble Kinsmen; and the two lost plays, Cardenio and Loves Labours Won.On 23 April 1616, am Shakespeare died in Stratford-upon-Avon, and was buried in the chancel of the Church of the Holy Trinity two days later. After a long career as an actor, dramatist, and sharer in the Lord Chamberlains Men (later the Kings Men) from c.?158590 until c.?161013, he was financially well off and among Englands most popular dramatists, both on the stage and in print. But his reputation had not yet risen to the greatest writer in the English language and the worlds pre-eminent dramatist. A funerary monument in Holy Trinity was commissioned, probably by his oldest daughter, and installed, most likely sometime before 161718, but a monument in Poets Corner in Westminster Abbey was not realised until 1740. William Basse wrote an elegiac poem on him c.?161820, but no notices were taken of his death in diplomatic correspondence or newsletters on the continent, nor were any tributes published by European contemporaries. William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke who at the time held the post of Lord Chamberlain, with authority over the Kings Men, and directly in charge of Shakespeare as a Groom of the Chamber made no note of his passing.Shakespeares works both poetic and dramatic had a rich history in print before the publication of the First Folio: from the first publications of Venus and Adonis (1593) and The Rape of Lucrece (1594), 78 individual printed editions of his works are known. c.?30 (23) of these editions are his poetry, and the remaining c.?70 (55) his plays. Counting by number of editions published before 1623, the best-selling works were Venus and Adonis (12 editions), The Rape of Lucrece (6 editions), and Henry IV, Part 1 (6 editions). Of the 23 editions of the poems, 16 were published in octavo; the rest, and almost all of the editions of the plays, were printed in quarto. The quarto format was made by folding a large sheet of printing paper twice, forming 4 leaves with 8 pages. The average quarto measured 7 by 9 inches (18 by 23 cm) and was made up of c.?9 sheets, giving 72 total pages. Octavos made by folding a sheet of the same size three times, forming 8 leaves with 16 pages were about half as large as a quarto. Since the cost of paper represented c.?5075 of a books total production costs, octavos were generally cheaper to manufacture than quartos, and a common way to reduce publishing costs was to reduce the number of pages needed by compressing (using two columns or a smaller typeface) or abbreviating the text.Henry Fitzgeffrey, Certain Elegies (1618) Editions of individual plays were typically published in quarto and could be bought for 6d (equivalent to 5 in 2018) without a binding. These editions were primarily intended to be cheap and convenient, and read until worn out or repurposed as wrapping paper (or worse), rather than high quality objects kept in a library. Customers who wanted to keep a particular play would have to have it bound, and would typically bind several related or miscellany plays into one volume. Octavos, though nominally cheaper to produce, were somewhat different. From c.?159596 (Venus and Adonis) and 1598 (The Rape of Lucrece), Shakespeares narrative poems were published in octavo. In The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeares First Folio, Tara L. Lyons argues that this was partly due to the publisher, John Harrisons, desire to capitalize on the poems association with Ovid: the Greek classics were sold in octavo, so printing Shakespeares poetry in the same format would strengthen the association. The octavo generally carried greater prestige, so the format itself would help to elevate their standing. Ultimately, however, the choice was a financial one: Venus and Adonis in octavo needed four sheets of paper, versus seven in quarto, and the octavo The Rape of Lucrece needed five sheets, versus 12 in quarto. Whatever the motivation, the move seems to have had the intended effect: Francis Meres, the first known literary critic to comment on Shakespeare, in his Palladis Tamia (1598), puts it thus: the sweete wittie soule of Ouid liues in mellifluous & hony-tongued Shakespeare, witnes his Venus and Adonis, his Lucrece, his sugred Sonnets among his priuate friends. Source: WikipediaAbout Author:William Shakespeare (bapt. 26 April 1564 23 April 1616) was an English poet, playwright, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the worlds greatest dramatist. He is often called Englands national poet and the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlains Men, later known as the Kings Men. At age 49 (around 1613), he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeares private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were primarily comedies and histories and are regarded as some of the best work produced in these genres. Until about 1608, he wrote mainly tragedies, among them Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Macbeth, all considered to be among the finest works in the English language. In the last phase of his life, he wrote tragicomedies (also known as romances) and collaborated with other playwrights. Many of Shakespeares plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy in his lifetime. However, in 1623, two fellow actors and friends of Shakespeares, John Heminges and Henry Condell, published a more definitive text known as the First Folio, a posthumous collected edition of Shakespeares dramatic works that included all but two of his plays. The volume was prefaced with a poem by Ben Jonson, in which Jonson presciently hails Shakespeare in a now-famous quote as not of an age, but for all time.Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, Shakespeares works have been continually adapted and rediscovered by new movements in scholarship and performance. His plays remain popular and are studied, performed, and reinterpreted through various cultural and political contexts around the world.
