The University of Mississippi recently acquired a particularly rare copy of a 1632 second folio edition of the collected works of William Shakespeare. Originally owned by one of the most famous Shakespearean actors in history, Edwin Booth, this significant volume is now a permanent part of the University of Mississippi’s collections. It is currently on display in the Department of Archives & Special Collections.
