More about the book

The Norton Facsimile revolutionized scholarly accuracy in 1968 by meticulously selecting pages from numerous copies to ensure clarity and minimal show-through. It presented the most corrected state of Shakespeare's works, addressing variations due to press corrections. The introduction of "through line numbering" based on the 1623 edition provided a new reference standard, enhancing usability for readers. Crafted by Folio scholar Charlton Hinman and supported by the Folger Library Collection, this volume became essential for collectors and serious Shakespeare enthusiasts.
