The Folger Shakespeare Library, opened in 1932, is home to the world’s largest collection of Shakespeare materials, as well as major collections of other rare Renaissance texts. It is a world-renowned research center on Shakespeare and on the early modern age in the West; its well-known public programs include plays, concerts, literary readings, family activities, and exhibitions.
Inspired by the Folger’s long-time relationship with Georgetown University, Lannan Center and the Folger have collaborated on a number of programs, such as the 2003 Symposium Societies of American Poetry: Dissenting Practices and the Lannan Fellowship Program. Learn more about the Folger Library.
