Globe Folios

Globe Education publishes Globe Folios to coincide with the plays chosen for the current and previous theatre seasons. They are photographic facsimiles of plays taken from the First Folio of 1623 and have been produced in association with the British Library.

The First Folio was perhaps the second most important and influential book published in English in the 17th century after the King James Bible (1611). It was a publishing coup. It was the first time an English playwright’s collected plays were gathered together and published in one volume on Folio sized pages.

Shakespeare’s Globe, together with Nick Hern Books, has brought some of these plays back into print as Globe Quartos.
