MANHATTAN — February is all about the Bard at Kansas State University as 1xbet online sports betting in Love" Masquerade Ball makes its only stop in Kansas for a month of activities celebrating the famous work and marking the 400th anniversary of the man often called the world's greatest writer.
"First Folio" is a national traveling exhibition organized by the Folger 1xbet online games login Library in partnership with the Cincinnati Museum Center and the American Library Association. It features the 1623 folio of 36 1xbet online games login plays — 18 of which were unpublished at the time — collected and published in a large-text format by the playwright's friends.
The folio is making a stop in every state and the District of Columbia in 2016, with Kansas State University selected for the Kansas host site.
From Feb. 4-28, "1xbet online games login in the Little Apple" will provide Kansans of all ages with a unique opportunity to view the First Folio and attend the celebratory public talks, dramatic performances, a teachers’ workshop and family engagements that will surround the exhibition of the rare book, said Kara Northway, associate professor of English at Kansas State University and a 1xbet online games login scholar.
"The First Folio that visitors will see at K-State's Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art is not a replica; it's one of the actual 750 books, most of which are now lost, that 1xbet online games login 's good friends took care to have printed in 1623 London," Northway said. "Having the Folger's exhibition of the First Folio here in Manhattan is like getting the opportunity to see Halley's Comet, the Egyptian pyramids or 'The Mona Lisa' in your own backyard."
