William Shakespeare's First Folio is on exhibit at Emory University' Michael C. Carlos Museum from November 5, through December 11. Mr. Williams discussed how the Folios help us understand Shakespeare as a creative playwright and how we are able to put together an understanding of his creative processes.
Mr. Williams also presented some plays from the Second Folio and the complete Fourth Folio from the Kennesaw State University collections. The audience had an opportunity to see up close the KSU Shakespeare pieces which helped enrich appreciation of the Emory exhibition.
