Emma Smith is Fellow and Tutor in English at Hertford College, Oxford.
"The Making of Shakespeare's First Folio . . . is appropriately
published by the Bodleian Library, where Professor Smith played a
main part in the 'Sprint for Shakespeare' campaign to stabilize and
digitize their copy, which has supplied many of the book's rather
sepia-coloured images . . . . This is a clearly written account of
the main issues in its printing and publication, drawing on the
standard authorities."-- "Times Literary Supplement"
"The Bodleian Library's The Making of Shakespeare's First Folio . .
. [is] full of admirable detail and scholarship, but what we want
most of all is to see Shakespeare that feels new and fresh. This
kind of performance does just that."
