First Folio! The Book that Gave Us Shakespeare offers a rare glimpse of the Shakespeare First Folio, one of the world\u2019s most significant books, as it visits all 50 states, Washington, DC, and Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<p>Many of Shakespeare\u2019s plays were not published during his lifetime. The First Folio is the first collected edition of Shakespeare\u2019s plays. It was published in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare\u2019s death. Two of Shakespeare\u2019s fellow actors compiled 36 of his plays, hoping to preserve them for future generations. Without it, we would not have 18 of Shakespeare\u2019s plays, including Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Twelfth Night, The Tempest, Antony and Cleopatra, The Comedy of Errors, and As You Like It. All 18 appear for the first time in print in the First Folio.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-6661 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/hardin\/files\/2016\/08\/shakes-gold-book-tagline-300x224.png\" alt=\"shakes-gold-book-tagline\" width=\"300\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/hardin\/files\/2016\/08\/shakes-gold-book-tagline-300x224.png 300w, http:\/\/blog.lib.uiowa.edu\/hardin\/files\/2016\/08\/shakes-gold-book-tagline.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University of Iowa Libraries&rsquo; Gallery will host the only stop in the state of Iowa for First Folio!
