You don't have to be a Shakespeare expert to enjoy this fine new work by Paul Collins. This informal and highly engaging study of the First Folio is wide ranging, roaming from London auction houses to Tokyo theaters, but wherever it goes its amusing and intriguing.The First Folio was produced in 1623, seven years after Shakespeare's death, by men who had known and acted with him. Although Shakespeare was not to be universally recognized as "England's greatest playwright" until more than a century later, the First Folio sold well and was followed by later reprintings, with additions and subtractions, over the next few decades.As with everything Paul Collins writes, he provides a somewhat discursive but extremely entertaining story. I enjoyed reading about the efforts being made to trace the original First Folios, and was amazed to discover that so many of them are still in existence with proven paper trails. (On a personal note, I was thrilled to see that one of my own ancestors, Sir Edward Dering, was one of the first purchasers of not one but two First Folios!) I also liked the many "subplots" in the story, particularly the chapters on Samuel Johnson and his edition of the plays. It was also fascinating to read about Shakespeare's role in helping Japan modernize during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and to learn that the Japanese still have high regard for the Bard. Finally, I was filled anew with admiration for the painstaking work of editors who have analyzed every line of the First Folios in the ongoing effort to present the plays as Shakespeare intended.I will keep The Book of William in my "hard to classify but cherished" section of my library, and I'm sure most others who read it will do the same.
I found the book's title somewhat misleading. I was expecting much of The Book of William to be about how, during the past four centuries, the First Folio greatly affected generation after generation, and changed the way we see the world as well as the way we read literature. After all, the rest of the book's title read: How Shakespeare's First Folio Conquered the World.Instead, the first half of this book is an easy-to-read history about the publishing of different editions of Shakespeare's plays from 1623 to the late 18th Century.The second half of the book is about the fate of some of the First Folios and how they were acquired. Finally, Mr. Collins describes his visits to the two libraries holding the largest number of Folios: the Folger Library in Washington D.C. and the Meisei Library in Japan. and describes the condition of several Folios, and how they were treated or mistreated over the years.One of the things that makes this book so enjoyable is the way Mr. Collins brings many characters to life, two of whom are Alexander Pope and Samuel Johnson.In the pages of this book, we are often reminded that book publishing and collecting is, in the end, more about interesting people than about anything else.And so I enjoyed learning about the world of antiquarian books.The Book of William fueled my appetite to learn even more about the First Folio - how it was printed and what happened to many of the copies - so I was left with the feeling I wanted to known even more.Therefore, I wonder: Did Mr. Collins leave a lot of the story out? I can't answer the question. I am, however, grateful I read this book, though I think illustrations and photographs would have improved it.If you like Shakespeare and/or have an interest in book collecting you'll love this book.
The author has such a light, chatty style (and such an obvious enthusiasm for his work) that the arcane minutia about early book publishing practices goes down like sugar plums.When I ordered the book, I was writing a young adult novel about a young boy's time-travel back to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre during a performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and I thought this would offer some needed background. Wow! It was so much more captivating than I expected it to be. The personalities involved in promoting the First Folio's rise to prominence are fascinating, from Jaggard to Heminge and Condell all the way down to Henry Clay Folger -- just wonderful stories. This book has made me add a visit to the Folger Library in Washington to my Bucket List.A most enjoyable read. It was so much fun to read that I limited myself to 2 or 3 chapters per day so it would last longer. I am definitely exploring Paul Collins's other titles, as this is the first one I've read, having noticed a review in the New York Times. Bravo!
When I saw the title of Paul Collins' latest book, I jumped at the chance to buy it and share it with my father, who is new to Mr. Collins' work, and my sister, with whom I'd shared his book, "Not Even Wrong." Collins' writing is a delight and he makes it appear so effortless. I found myself thinking how lucky his students are if he lectures the way that he writes. He made the figures in the chronicle of Shakespeare's first folio come alive, and I will never think of Alexander Pope or Samuel Johnson the same way again. I agree with another reviewer's comment about including a map, and I'm looking forward to my next trip to England to track down some of the destinations he mentions in the book. My dad, who is 91, a writer himself, and fascinated with book collecting, read the book before I did and raved over it. He couldn't put the book down: he loved Mr. Collins' informative but relaxed style and was awe-struck at the amount of research involved. I recommend the other two books of Paul Collins that I've read, "Sixpence House" (read after my own trip to Hay-on-Wye in Wales, which is the used book capital of the world) and "Not Even Wrong," a chronicle of Mr. Collins' research into autism as the parent of an autistic child. I look forward to reading more of his writing and I recommend this book highly to readers interested in Shakespeare and/or book collecting.
