About

Whatever your stance on Shakespeare, the William Shakespeare and the First Folio event offered by University of Oxford invites you to join us for a critical appraisal of the 400th anniversary of the publication of the first collection of Shakespeare’s plays in 1623, known as the First Folio.

Overview

What you will study

Using freely available online resources, the William Shakespeare and the First Folio event offered by University of Oxford will explore the different celebrations and events linked to the anniversary and investigate the material life of this iconic publication – asking how and why the First Folio has come to be so central to Shakespeare’s material heritage. In addition to an appraisal of the anniversary year, we will consider digital copies of the First Folio, exploring what it means when old books reappear in new forms.

This event will include a range of content, including mini-lectures, presentations, videos, book extracts and digital resources and encourage participants to share their own views and responses in breakout sessions throughout.

Programme Structure

The program focuses on:

  • William Shakespeare and the First Folio: celebrating a book, a man, a world?  
  • William Shakespeare and the First Folio: whose book is it anyway? Exploring icons and ownership 
  • William Shakespeare and the First Folio digitised: a copy for everyone? 
  • William Shakespeare and the First Folio in the future: a past or enduring icon?
