This exhibit explores the technologies and computational tools used to study William Shakespeare’s four folios.
English playwright, poet and actor William Shakespeare (1564-1616) is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world’s pre-eminent dramatist. Shakespeare produced most of his known works between 1589 and 1613. His early plays were primarily comedies, but he later segued into dramas and tragedies. Shakespeare’s work has made a significant and lasting impression on later theatre and literature.
Rightly called “the most thoroughly studied early modern book,” the First Folio has given rise to a range of scholarly tools, techniques, and technologies. The exhibit’s focus on the technology of literary research speaks to the university’s culture of innovation, collaboration, and technological inventiveness.
