Chris Laoutaris – Shakespeare’s First Folio
What makes the First Folio so important and unique? 2023 marks the 400th anniversary of the first published collection of Shakespeare’s
plays. In this episode, I talk to Chris Laoutaris, author of Shakespeare’s Book: The Intertwined Lives Behind the First Folio. Chris gives us fascinating insights into the human story of this book that was produced seven
years after Shakespeare’s death. The story of the people, places, and contexts that were all part of the creation of this work still have their effect on what
Shakespeare means to us today.
Chris Laoutaris is associate professor at The Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham. He is a biographer, historian & a poet. Shakespeare's
Book has been selected as a BBC History Magazine Book of the Year (selected by Tracy Borman). It was also a Financial Times Best Summer Book.
