I spent some time in the Folger Shakespeare Library’s vault this afternoon. Among the treasures: a first folio, a ring given to the widow of a man lost at sea, and handwritten inventory from the 17th century that documents the earliest known appearance of Shakespeare in North America

Antonio:
Although this lord of weak remembrance—this,
Who shall be of as little memory
When he is earthed— hath here almost persuade
(For he’s a spirit of persuasion only,
Professes to persuade) the king his son’s alive,
