<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When it was first published in 1968, this justly famous First Folio of Shakespeare's plays--a full-sized photographic facsimile that has won the admiration of actors and scholars throughout the world--set a new standard for scholarly accuracy, introducing, among other features, a standard system of reference, "through line numbering", based on the lines printed in the 1623 edition. Slipcase.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>When it was published in 1968, <em>The Norton Facsimile</em> set a new standard for scholarly accuracy. It was the first facsimile in which every page had been selected from a large number of copies in an attempt to find a clean, clear example with minimal show-through. Even more important, it offered the latest, most corrected state of pages known to vary from copy to copy because of correction at press. Finally, it introduced a standard system of reference, through line numbering, based on the lines printed in the 1623 edition rather than on the acts, scenes, and lines of a modern edition. These improvements, the meticulous work of the great Folio scholar Charlton Hinman made possible by the extensive Folger Library Collection, established <em>The Norton Facsimile</em> as an indispensable volume for book collectors and serious readers of Shakespeare.
