Product Description

" He was not of an age, but for all time!"

The prophetic words of Ben Jonson in his dedicatory poem prefacing the 1623 collection of Shakespeares comedies, histories & tragedies, which is commonly referred to by modern scholars as the First Folio.

Time has thus far supported Jonsons bold assertion. No writer before or since has equalled the Bard of Avons prodigious achievement. Today his plays are performed all over the world in almost every language
- the sun never sets on the works of Shakespeare.

Throughout the English-speaking world the language of Shakespeare has become an integral part of everyday discourse but many of those who use it are probably unaware of its source.
