Shakespeare’s First Folio: How It Was Made

We know Shakespeare’s First Folio was vital in saving half of Shakespeare’s plays from the ash heap of history, but it was also a landmark publishing accomplishment. Join us for a virtual lecture by Andrea Mays, who will share the story of how this remarkable book came to be, and librarian Derek Quezada will provide an online viewing of UCI Libraries’ First Folio—sponsored by UCI Libraries, UCI Illuminations and the UCI New Swan Shakespeare Center.
