Early Book Lecture Series: 'Shakespeare’s First Folio: How Print and Facsimile Have Preserved His Plays'

The Early Books Lecture Series was established at the University of Arizona by Albrecht Classen, University Distinguished Professor of German Studies. For nearly 20 years, University of Arizona scholars have invited the community to explore rare books, held by Special Collections, that provide primary resource materials for research, and are open for students, faculty, staff, and visitors to access.

Frederick Kiefer, University Distinguished Professor of English, and Thomas Willard, Emeritus Professor of English, will present "Shakespeare’s First Folio: How Print and Facsimile Have Preserved His Plays" about a single large volume of his work that was coordinated in 1616 by two members in Shakepeare's acting company after his death in 1614.
