Cooperative Publishing Agreement

In 2015, The Folger Shakespeare Library and the University of Pennsylvania Press established a formal publishing agreement. The Press agreed to publish volumes that arise from activities at the Folger Shakespeare Library with a title page notice that the volume is published “in cooperation with Folger Shakespeare Library.” In the intervening years, the volumes listed below have emerged from work substantially shaped by Folger Institute sponsored research—whether through a research fellowship or a scholarly program.

The topics and methodological approaches are as broad as those of the Folger Collections and research activities of the Folger itself. The agreement is non-exclusive and the editorial review process is overseen entirely by the University of Pennsylvania Press. Those with relevant monographs or essay collections emerging from Folger research or programming should bring them to the attention of their contact at the Folger; either of the Folger Institute’s Associate Directors are happy to advise: Ashley Buchanan (for Fellowships) or Owen Williams (for Scholarly Programs).

A growing list of publications is resulting from this agreement. Titles include:
