The First Folio at 400: Proceedings of the Thirteenth Graduate Conference of the Italian Association of Shakespearean and Early Modern Studies (IASEMS), with a Facsimile of the Fifth Folio

This collection of essays gathers the proceedings of the thirteenth conference of the Italian Association of Shakespeare and Early Modern Studies (IASEMS), which marked the 400th anniversary of the publication of Shakespeare's First Folio. In line with the ethos of all IASEMS graduate conferences, the 2022 conference included keynote speakers and younger scholars and the co-editors of the proceedings, Rory Loughnane and Sonia Massai, offered mentorship and advice to the authors of the three graduate contributions that were selected for inclusion in it. Similarly, the essays in this collection tap on established fields of research interest while subjecting the First Folio to new and exciting lines of critical enquiry.
