First words |
William Shakespeare's date of birth is not precisely known, but it probably preceded his baptism on April 26, 1564, in Stratfordon-Avon, by only a few days.  There is no proof that Shakespeare personally superintended the printing of any of his plays.  Publisher's Preface: In the words of the First Folio of 1623, "The Riverside Shakespeare" is addressed 'To the great Variety of Readers. From the most able, to him that can but spell.'" - Harold T. Miller, President Houghton Mifflin Company  | |

Quotations |
