The Folger publishes several important Shakespeare publications—among them, modern editions of Shakespeare’s own works, the Shakespeare Quarterly journal, and volumes of classroom activities created by teachers, for teachers.
The Folger Library Shakespeare editions provide thoroughly re-edited editions of the plays and poems, printed with explanatory notes and images from the Folger collection on the pages facing the text. Each includes a wealth of additional material, including essays on such topics as Shakespeare’s life, his use of language, and the publication of his works.
Shakespeare Quarterly is the preeminent Shakespeare journal in the world, serving an audience of Shakespeare scholars and lovers of Shakespeare and furthering research at the highest level. Shakespeare Quarterly publishes scholarly articles and notes about Shakespeare and his age, reviews of significant Shakespeare productions, and book reviews of Shakespeare criticism and scholarship.
The Shakespeare Set Free boks, filled with activities developed by teachers through Folger education programs, are an ever-popular resource for teaching Shakespeare through performance and participation.
Folger exhibitions run the gamut of subjects related to the early modern age. For a classic Folger exhibition catalog on a Shakespearean subject, look for The First Folio of Shakespeare.
