Emily FriedmanGUEST
And the problem with being an academic is that I have this creeping sense that I need to turn off for the moment, that all of these things are actually happening.
Emily FriedmanGUEST
There is actually...

Kevin BertramGUEST
Like I really like it.
Kevin BertramGUEST
We designed it in partnership with the Folger Shakespeare library, but it's also really light and it's not making, that significant of an argument it's very educational right you learn about the time about the era you're and you know and you don't need to know anything about shakespeare going into it but you're going to pick it up but but is that like a super historical educational game no is it also going to buy me a yacht yes so i have to you know balance out
Dan BullockHOST
of
Kevin BertramGUEST
a little bit of the you know the capitalist imperative to make sure we're selling enough games to then make peace 1905 which is a game i love that i'm gonna support as much as i can but really it's a peace treaty in 1905 Really, the only marketing hook for it is Teddy Roosevelt wins his Nobel Prize from that Peace Prize.

Geoff BennettHOST
[Instrumental music] The Folger Shakespeare Library's newest exhibit maps an unlikely historical connection between Black women and the works of William Shakespeare over a period of more than 450 years.
Geoff BennettHOST
Nearly 100 objects document the stories of renowned scholars, popular actors, and little-known historic figures.
Geoff BennettHOST
I sat down with exhibit curator and the director of the Folger Institute, Patricia Akhimie, who spoke about the exhibit, which opens today.
Patricia AkhimieGUEST
When asked what she would do with the winnings, um, if she were to win, um, $64,000 Question, she said, "Well, I would publish my book." And actually, she did go on to do that.
Patricia AkhimieGUEST
She won $16,000 on the show, and she published her book, which was called All the World's a Stage, and it was a monograph about Shakespeare's comedies.
Patricia AkhimieGUEST
And in 1958, when that book was published, the Folger Shakespeare Library purchased a copy, and we have had it in our collection ever since.
Patricia AkhimieGUEST
That is an incredible story that I didn't know and that I'm so glad to know now.
Neil RhodesGUEST
The third play was printed in 1606 and then reissued again in the same year, but with corrections and various additions, some of which are erroneous.
Neil RhodesGUEST
But there is also a manuscript of the third play which is now in the Folger.
Neil RhodesGUEST
However, Leishman, who edited the edition that you refer to that came out in the 1940s, he established pretty conclusively that the manuscript of the second part of The Return from Parnassus is further removed from authorial copy than the printed text.
Neil RhodesGUEST
So the printed text should be used as the copy text.
Neil RhodesGUEST
And that was the fashion for editing at that time.
Neil RhodesGUEST
But to answer your question, Robert, one thing that we have done differently is, I hope, to stick to the logic of the copy text.
Neil RhodesGUEST
And although we have admitted readings from the Folger manuscript, we do so only at points where the printed text is clearly in error.
Neil RhodesGUEST
So our text is closer to the first issue of the printed text.
NickHOST
The title is modern.
NickHOST
Editors Daniel Harms, James R. Clark, and Joseph H. Peterson gave the name to Folger Shakespeare Library MS V.b26, a large Elizabethan magical manuscript put together by unknown hands in the late sixteenth century, probably between fifteen seventy-seven and fifteen eighty-three.
NickHOST
The manuscript matters partly because it is messy, and that mess is historically priceless.
NickHOST
It does not present one perfectly organized magical system.
