Shakespeare's First Folio | Not Just the Tudors

Four hundred years ago in 1623, the first collected edition of Shakespeare's plays was printed. Known as the First Folio, the book was integral to establishing Shakespeare's posthumous reputation just seven years after his death.
In the first of four special episodes of Not Just the Tudors celebrating this anniversary, Professor Suzannah Lipscomb talks to Professor Emma Smith about the story behind Shakespeare’s First Folio, how it collected together and preserved his works as we know them today, and its lasting legacy.
This episode was produced by Rob Weinberg.

Good Saturday morning from the SF Bay Area, 7-29. I am so excited to have found this podcast, Suzanna (although I hear your friends call you Suzi), it is really wonderful to hear scholars talk on these Tudor related subjects. Here in the Bay Area at the Legion of Honor we currently have a major Tudor exhibit which I just saw on Thursday. Seeing those Holbein's in person was a thrill. Today my daughter and her costume girlfriends have been invited by the museum to come in their gorgeous handmade Tudor gowns to add to the atmosphere, be available for photographs, and charm everyone in general. I still have more to catch up on. Thank you!
