As part of the lifelong learning course “The Life, Times and Works of William Shakespeare”, students were given the opportunity to view some rare books in The University Library on Thursday, October 28th. Some of the valuable materials the students saw were William Shakespeare’s Four Folios—very few places in the world have all four folios in one place—Samuel Johnson’s edition of The Plays of William Shakespeare, and a limited edition of Romeo and Juliet which has beautiful illustrations by William Hatherell.

The students and Mr. John Frederick Ashburne, the lecturer who teaches this course, admired these rare books with awe as they listened to the library staff explain.
