A window into Shakespeare's world
14 September 2004 :: Posted by External Affairs

Lovers of Shakespeare around the world will now be able to explore some of the very earliest editions of his plays through a new website launched today by the British Library. Digitised versions of 93 copies of early quarto editions of 21 plays, ranging from Titus Andronicus to Hamlet, can be viewed and compared with one another at: www.bl.uk/treasures/shakespeare/homepage.html

Many of the quartos were produced during Shakespeare’s lifetime as inexpensive pamphlet editions of his plays. Some copies may well have been sold to audience members who had just watched a performance by his own theatrical company.
