À propos de cet audio
After Shakespeare’s death, his plays didn’t immediately become sacred texts, they became commodities. In this episode, we dive into the publishing chaos of the early 1600s, where bad quartos, cash grabs, and loose copyrights threatened to fracture his legacy. Enter John Heminges and Henry Condell, two friends determined to wrestle Shakespeare’s work back from the mess. Along the way, we unpack how Ben Jonson’s audacious move to publish his own complete works, the original literary box set, helped light the fuse.
