Before it’s gone, discover what the Washington Post calls an “intimate portrait of the world’s most famous author.” Life of an Icon is a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity to glimpse the world’s most famous storyteller through a collection of rare documents—local gossip, diary entries, and critics’ reviews—many never before shown in the United States.

Part of “The Wonder of Will,” the Folger’s year-long commemoration of the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death, Icon is full of stunning treasures that illuminate Shakespeare the man: father, husband, writer, neighbor and icon.

Learn more and visit www.folger.edu/icon before the exhibition closes March 27!
