Description of Pictures: Inside Media: In Search of Shakespeare’s Greatest Works
Author Andrea Mays talks about her new book, “The Millionaire and the Bard,” which tells the story of the making of William Shakespeare’s First Folio and the obsessive hunt three centuries later by American industrialist Henry Folger to track it down.
Considered one of the most valuable books in the world, Shakespeare’s First Folio contains 36 of his manuscripts and plays, including such masterpieces as “Julius Caesar,” “Twelfth Night,” “Macbeth,” “Antony and Cleopatra,” “The Winter’s Tale” and “The Tempest.”
The books chronicles Folger’s passion for Shakespeare and the lengths he went to own as many copies of the Folio as he could. In 1932, Folger established the Folger Shakespeare Library, which houses the world’s largest collection of Shakespeare material.
The event was moderated by Frank Bond from the Newseum.
