pickIf you‘re a Shakesnerd, this is definitely a must-read! Not sure it would be of notable interest if not, but even from a history/literary sociology point of view it‘s really fascinating and super well-researched. I loved all of the stuff about people annotating their First Folios over the decades and centuries. It does get a bit repetitive at times, but not so much that it put me off. And now I really want my own damn First Folio! 4/5 ⭐️
“O unprecedented act of bibliopegistic barbarity!”
[Me when someone cracks a spine.]
In short, while these early Shakespeareans are probably the only readers for whom the First Folio has been a real reading text, they set in motion the engine of critical reception and readerly reinvention that has continued into the twenty-first century.
