Shakespeare folio found in French library
The accidental discovery in a small library in northern France of an original first folio of Shakespeare’s plays has sent a jolt of excitement around the world of Shakespeare scholars.
The find brings the total of known folios in the world to 233, and is significant as each first folio can contain variations that shed light on the bard’s intentions. Among the 900 pages of the most recent discovery are rare annotations that suggest it was used for performance.
