Comedies, Histories and Tragedies
By William Shakespeare
Published in 1623, this is collection of 36 plays by William
Shakespeare. Experts refer to this collection as the First Folio
since it was printed in folio format by the Bard’s colleagues John
Heminges and Henry Condell. Although eighteen of Shakespeare's
plays had been published in quarto, prior to 1623, the First Folio
is the only reliable text for about twenty of the plays, and a
valuable source even for many of those previously published. It
was sold in 2001 for $6.1 million.
