This book examines the controversial debate around the authenticity of the 1632 Perkins Folio, a unique version of Shakespeare’s First Folio containing thousands of handwritten corrections and emendations. The author presents a thorough investigation into the Folio, challenging the prevailing view that the annotations are modern forgeries. By meticulously examining the physical evidence of the Folio, the author posits that traditional palaeographic methods used to date the ink have been flawed, and that the annotations may well be authentic. This book offers a fresh perspective on a subject that has divided the literary world, and provides valuable insights into the nature of textual scholarship and the ongoing quest to understand Shakespeare's original intentions.
