The tragedie of King Lear : a facsimile from the First Folio

Shakespeare is acknowledged to be the greatest dramatist in the English Language. Less than half his plays were printed before he died, and the first collected edition of 36 of his plays appeared in 1623, seven years after his death, in the First Folio. This title includes copies of the preliminary pages from the Folio.
