The First Folio: Shakespeare For All Time?

This exhibit celebrates the Elizabethan Club’s rare book collections, largely assembled in the early 1910s by a young Yale alumnus who was inspired by his Shakespeare lectures. The exhibit constellates around the 1623 First Folio but tells a broader story, foregrounding early modern printers, 20th-century bibliographers, and booksellers today. We’ll see how the First Folio established Shakespeare’s iconic status.
