Stephen H. Grant tells the moving story of Henry and Emily Folger, who dedicated their lives to collecting Shakespeare. Many people are astonished to learn that the world's largest repository of original Shakespearean printings is to be found not in Stratford, not in London, but two blocks from the U.S. Capital in Washington D.C. How this came to be is the subject of his book Collecting Shakespeare. Check it out in our online catalog: https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/item/show/2989078093_collecting_shakespeare
