Bard Times

By Brennan O'Keefe on September 16, 2004 8:29 AM |
Hears about this on NPR yesterday: The British Library has scanned their collection of Shakespeare's plays in quarto form and placed the images online. These are the oldest survivng copies of the Bard's plays, since none of his written manuscripts survive. These quartos are the first printed editions of Shakespeare's work. Looks the the Library has done a nice presentation of the online version; you can even view different printings side by side.
