Looking Back to Move Forward: Insights from the Shakespeare Symposium
"I like to think of the First Folio as a kind of time traveller. It started out in London at the Jaggard Publishing House in 1623. It has travelled across England, New York, and Japan before it came to UBC. It bears the stories of these travels and the marks of these readers within its pages. Its relevance is really a product of its strangeness and what it can tell us...about...all of the worlds it has travelled through," shares Prof. Patsy Badir.
