Descripción del artículo del vendedor

[Author], [Publisher]. Author: Chris Laoutaris Format: Hardback Number of Pages: 560 'A lively picture of multiple operators scrambling to steal a march on the competition . . . Lavishly detailed' Financial Times 'This is Shakespearean scholarship at its best, brilliantly researched yet compulsively readable. It's a book for our times, enduringly fascinating and appealing to both enthusiasts and the general reader. Highly recommended!' ALISON WEIR FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE SUMMER A BBC HISTORY MAGAZINE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 A BBC RADIO 4 FRONT ROW NON-FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 AN AUSTRALIAN BOOK REVIEW BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023 The year 2023 marks the 400th anniversary of Mr William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies, known today simply as the First Folio.

Shakespeare's Book: The Intertwined Lives Behind the First Folio charts, for the first time, the manufacture of the First Folio against a turbulent backdrop of seismic political events and international tensions that intersected with the lives of its creators.

'Beautifully written and utterly compelling. comprises all the drama, intrigue and surprises of a Shakespeare play' Tracy Borman.…
