Special Collections and University Archives at the University of Maryland houses many works of the early classical, medieval, modern period. Texts are in various languages, with a large portion of the collections printed in France, Spain, and England. Many of these early works vary between editions, making them ideal for examining the transmission of a text over time. The highlight of the Shakespeare-related holdings is a three volume 2nd folio of his works, published in 1632. See below for select titles on the following topics: Works by Shakespeare, Modern Editions of Shakespeare, Early Modern Works, Works of Medieval Literature, and Classical Works.
